Osho Rajneesh and His Disciples: Some Western Perceptions

by Harry Aveling

This book brings together some of the best short writings in English on Osho and neo-Sannyasa. Some of the pieces are celebratory, some inquisitive but uncommitted, some scholarly, and some frankly sceptical. The book deals with Osho himself, his Community, Meditation and Therapy, and the Decline and Renewal of his movement, with a postscript on the presets commune. The papers provide a full picture of a complex man and a vibrant, if turbulent, religious movement.

Study of Oshos' ideas, includes many of his short writings. Focus on the community, meditation, and decline/renewal of a movement.
