Rajneesh, Bhagwan Shree

 orig. Chandra Mohan Jain

(born Dec. 11, 1931, central India—died Jan. 19, 1990, Pune) Indian spiritual leader. A teacher of philosophy, he lectured throughout India and established an ashram in Pune (Poona). He preached an eclectic doctrine of Eastern mysticism, individual devotion, and sexual freedom while amassing vast personal wealth. By the early 1970s he had attracted 200,000 devotees, many from Europe and the U.S. He lived with a community of followers in Oregon from 1981 to 1985, when he was deported from the U.S. for immigration fraud. He spent his last years in Pune, where he reestablished his ashram.
