If you’ve never been to the LA Inland Empire…let me tell ya, you ain’t missin’ much.

Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, later known by his Cher-like nickname “Osho,” was born in India as Chandra Mohan Jain. Ranjneesh developed a technique known as dynamic meditation, through which his followers could achieve enlightenment or a closer connection with the spiritual being through a process that began with sex…probably with him.
