“There is perfect harmony here,” Sadhana joked. “There are a few and they breed here,” she replied, saying whenever they dance with their multi-coloured feathers up, sanyasins, who spot them, gather round and enjoy the heavenly scene. “How many peacocks are there?” I asked Sadhana. Another bird, on a tall tree with swaying leafy branches, made a loud singing sound, and as I turned back to spot it, lo and behold, it was another big, beautiful peacock dancing on the top green branch. Round the corner, a majestic peacock, its feathers spread out in all its glory, greeted me and Sadhana as it stood still, as if in a trance. A lone woman, a sanyasin, swam with her eyes open like a mermaid without making any sound while a foreign male sanyasi faced the crystal blue waters eyes closed, perhaps lost in thoughts about Osho. The adjacent beautiful swimming pool was soothing.

He had come a long way - from life in a Jain family in Kuchwada village in Madhya Pradesh, which named him Chandra Mohan.Īs I walked around, I saw through glass windows about 20 sanyasins engaged in meditation at the Osho House. A royal chair awaited him for the daily evening discourse to his devotees, at that time mostly affluent foreigners seeking nirvana. He would be driven routinely in one of these Rolls Royces dressed like a prince with attractive shining robes and diamond-studded cap from his residence in the Pune Commune to the Buddha Hall, a few meters away. He had an eye-popping fleet of 97 Rolls Royces at Rajneeshpuram ranch in Oregon, US, which grabbed headlines in the US media and the world over.
Osho was obsessed with expensive cars and watches.
The controversial hypnotist guru and mystic was known first as Acharya Rajneesh, then Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and finally Osho, as disciples of Zen Masters called them by that name to convey reverence.Ī lone vintage Rolls Royce limousine has been parked at the entrance of his house, while a fleet of them have been sold out, some over 25 years ago. At that time the Commune was called Shree Rajneesh Ashram. Osho gave his first lectures here after arriving in Pune in on March 21, 1974. Walking by Osho House, called Chuang Tzu Auditorium, led by Sadhana, I could neither visit his residence nor his samadhi inside. This was once headed by talented Swami Satya Vedant, Indian-American scholar as its Chancellor with a PhD degree. I had attended a couple of his lectures back in the 80s at the height of his popularity.Ī few sanyasins sipped coffee and some were engaged discovering each over at the Osho Multiversity, nearby, which looked deserted. About 10-15 of them, young men and women, were dancing, swaying to the music being played out by a DJ at the now open spacious Buddha Grove, which was earlier a covered Buddha Hall, where Osho once lectured every evening to over a couple of thousand followers, mostly foreigners, seeking nirvana. I saw a sprinkling of joyous maroon-robed devotees. These are, after all, the headquarters of the Osho cult.Īmrit Sadhana, the Indian official spokesperson and member of the Inner Circle which controls the Osho International Meditation Resort and Dhyanesh Bharti, in-charge of the security, welcomed me in the morning at the gate. At least that is what his followers believe. But, his spirit appears to be all around, in the vast spaces, under the drooping trees and around the hall room. Their numbers are fewer than when the godman held his discourses on these grounds. The maroon robed devotees, searching for nirvana the Osho way, are no longer milling around. The godman lives on in the hearts of thousands of devotees even after his death - Osho left his body, they will tell you - at Osho Commune International located in the upmarket, plush property at Koregaon Park in Pune.

Osho, the guru of free sex with a near-hypnotic control over his followers, who offered the guiding light for open relationships and happiness, died 28 years ago.
