"Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, also called Osho or Acharya Rajneesh, (1931 - 1990), Indian spiritual leader who preached an eclectic doctrine of Eastern mysticism, individual devotion, and sexual freedom. The basic practice taught at the centre was called dynamic meditation, a process designed to allow people to experience the divine through yogic and tantric practices. He immigrated to the United States in the early 1970, where he established a commune in Oregon which attracted a cult following until charges of multiple felonies, including arson, attempted murder, drug smuggling, and voter fraud resulted in the abandonment of many followers".
