Osho (Rajneesh)

Osho, born Rajneesh in 1931, was an Indian spiritual teacher and philosopher known for his dynamic approach to meditation and spirituality. He emphasized personal growth, mindfulness, and embracing life's pleasures without guilt. His teachings blend Eastern spiritual traditions with Western psychology, advocating for self-awareness and individual freedom. Osho also challenged societal norms, promoting open dialogue about religion, sexuality, and politics. He founded an international commune in Oregon called Rajneeshpuram, which garnered both followers and controversy. Despite his complex legacy, his core message centers on discovering inner peace through meditation and authentic living.
