Rajneesh (born Chandra Mohan Jain, 11 December 1931 – 19 January 1990) and latter rebranded as Osho was leader of the Rajneesh movement. During his lifetime he was viewed as a controversial new religious movement leader and mystic.

In the 1960s he traveled throughout India as a public speaker and was a vocal critic of socialism, Mahatma Gandhi, and Hindu religious orthodoxy.

Rajneesh emphasized the importance of meditation, mindfulness, love, celebration, courage, creativity and humor—qualities that he viewed as being suppressed by adherence to static belief systems, religious tradition and socialization.

In advocating a more open attitude to human sexuality he caused controversy in India during the late 1960s and became known as "the sex guru".

In 1970, Rajneesh spent time in Mumbai initiating followers known as "neo-sannyasins". During this period he expanded his spiritual teachings and commented extensively in discourses on the writings of religious traditions, mystics, and philosophers from around the world. In 1974 Rajneesh relocated to Pune, where an ashram was established and a variety of therapies, incorporating methods first developed by the Human Potential Movement, were offered to a growing Western following. By the late 1970s, the tension between the ruling Janata Party government of Morarji Desai and the movement led to a curbing of the ashram's development and a back taxes claim estimated at $5 million.

In 1981, the Rajneesh movement's efforts refocused on activities in the United States and Rajneesh relocated to a facility known as Rajneeshpuram in Wasco County, Oregon. Almost immediately the movement ran into conflict with county residents and the state government, and a succession of legal battles concerning the ashram's construction and continued development curtailed its success.

In 1985, in the wake of a series of serious crimes by his followers, including a mass food poisoning attack with Salmonella bacteria and an aborted assassination plot to murder U.S. Attorney Charles H. Turner, Rajneesh alleged that his personal secretary Ma Anand Sheela and her close supporters had been responsible. He was later deported from the United States in accordance with an Alford plea bargain.[

After his deportation, 21 countries denied him entry. He ultimately returned to India and a revived Pune ashram, where he died in 1990. Rajneesh's ashram, now known as OSHO International Meditation Resort and all associated intellectual property, is managed by the Zurich registered Osho International Foundation (formerly Rajneesh International Foundation). Rajneesh's teachings have had a notable impact on Western New Age thought, and their popularity has increased markedly since his death.

Ask Özgürlük Tekbasinalik adlı kitabını da okudum, onun incelemesinde de söylemiştim, terapistim okuttu ikisini de. Osho'nun kitapları çok yararlı ogretilerle dolu, bunu inkar etmiyorum. Yalnız tek sorun tüm bu öğretilerin her türlü kişisel gelişim kitabında 826379236 kez tekrarlanmış olması, çeşitli dinlerde yankısını bulmuş olması. Tabiiki kendini başkaları ile kiyaslamazsan mutlu olursun, bunu hepimiz biliyoruz. Ya da daha fazlasını istemezsen, ya da geçmişe takılıp kalmazsan, ya da, ya da, ya da... Liste uzayıp gidiyor. Osho'nun söyledikleri maalesef daha önce yüzlerce kez duyduğumuz şeylerin ötesine gecemiyor. Bir de bunları bir tek kendisi fark etmiş ve dile getirmiş gibi yazması insanın iyice asabini bozuyor. Kapitalizme ve tüm sistemlere karşı çıkıp kurduğu meditasyon beldesinin reklamını her kitabında yapması, bu beldede alış veriş merkezi ve cafeler, lüks spalar falan bulunması aklımın aldığı şeyler değil, insanın bu ne perhiz bu ne lahana turşusu diyesi geliyor. Yeryüzünde kendimiz dışında hiçbir budayi tanimamamiz gerektiğini söyleyen osho, öğretisini yaymak için bir meditasyon beldesi kuruyor . Yani size ne kadar inandırıcı geliyor bilemiyorum. Sinir harbi geçirmeden, doğru olanı çekip alınız kitabın içinden...

Kitap sıkça kendini tekrar eden önerilerle dolu olmasına rağmen, bu tekrarlar belirli bir noktada okuyucunun zihninde bir aydınlanma yaratıyor. Farklı ifadelerle aynı kavramların yeniden sunulması, mesajın giderek daha derinleşmesine ve nihayetinde içselleştirilmesine yardımcı oluyor. Bu süreç, kitabın tekrar okunma isteğini doğuruyor ve her okuma, mesajın zihinde daha sağlam bir yer edinmesine katkı sağlıyor.
