His body was brought and kept for darshan for just 10-15 minutes and hurriedly cremated. At 7 pm, at the evening meditation held in the Commune, called the White Robe Brotherhood, the news of his death was broken by Swami Prem Amrito (part of Osho’s Inner Circle, a doctor by profession and Osho’s personal physician) to the disciples gathered. On January 19, 1990, the big event happened - Osho died. My reportage was restricted to current events, profiles of visitors, events such as Osho’s birthday (December 11) and day of enlightenment (March 21) etc. I was reporting on the Osho Commune since 1987, when I joined the Times of India in Pune. What made you suspect that there was foul play in Osho’s death, which is the premise of this book? The research for the book has been in-depth and the book has been put through a journalist’s rigour no hearsay, all recorded statements and facts only. So far there is no journalistic account of his life most of the books have been written by his disciples. Who Killed Osho? is a definitive account of Osho and his life and covers the entire fifty-year movement. How is this book different from other accounts or books on Osho’s life?

But articles have a short shelf life and don’t always tell the full story. through articles through the ‘80s and ‘90s. I had been covering Osho and his death etc.

Osho blamed his health problems on his time in US prison, and claimed that he had been poisoned by prison officials.Post 2012 I got serious about the book and it took a year to formulate the ‘What’ of the book. Osho returned to Poona after attempting to travel to many other countries where he was refused entry, including Canada, Ireland, Uruguay, Greece, Jamaica, Spain and England. It was at this point, that Osho decided to change his plea to guilty and he was given a 10-year suspended sentence, five years' probation and a $400,000 penalty in fines and prosecution costs for immigration violation charges. According to Federal Authorities they were attempting to evade persecution by flying to Bermuda. However, Sheela turned in tape recordings of conversations that she had with Osho about the "need to kill people." Osho and several of his followers were indicted in October 1985, and he and a small number of the followers were arrested aboard a plane on an airstrip in North Carolina. She immediately left for Switzerland, where she currently resides and operates two nursing homes! Osho claimed to have no knowledge of the attack and broke off his ties with Sheela after her arrest. Sheela served 29 months in prison, and was then given parole. Because of this, the commune collapsed and was closed and Sheela was sentenced to 3-20 year sentences for assault, attempted murder. In 1985 Osho shared that the leadership of the commune had been charged with bioterrorism against the citizens of The Dalles, Oregon, after they had purposely contaminated food with biological agents (Salmonella). 357 Magnum handgun, and began a Ranjeeshpuram police force armed with Uzi's and other submachine guns. Osho also depended greatly on his secretary, Sheela, who carried a. If you are a homosexual, so what?! Enjoy it! God has made you that way" However, by the 1980s, he had changed his mind, and said that homosexuals were "perverted and created the disease AIDS," and that they should be separated from the rest of society.
Also, prior to the 1980s Osho said regarding homosexuality: "No condemnation, no judgement, no evaluation. Osho was also known to advocate for euthanasia, including for children born with birth defects such as blindness or deafness. Residents only saw him daily when he would drive slowly past them while they stood outside. Osho also lived in silence during this time and did not lecture. He also purchased many cars including Rolls-Royce's, having purchased a total of 93 vehicles by the end of his time there which made him the largest single owner of Rolls-Royce's in the world. It was also reported that he took 60mg of Valium per day. They were tiled: Glimpses of a Golden Childhood, Notes of a Madman and Books I Have Loved. Osho originally pleaded not guilty, but changed his plea to guilty soon after and returned to India.ĭuring his time at Ranjeeshpuram, Osho wrote three books while under the influence of nitrous oxide, which was given to him by his dentist. However, he did not seek medical treatment while in the United States, which led to his arrest in 1984 for immigration fraud. Osho had initially claimed that he was visiting the US as a tourist in order to receive medical treatments for his spine which were not available to him in India.
