Why this campaign matters
I am documenting this case as an observer relying solely on publicly available news reports, survivor accounts published by established media outlets, and academic research. Over several decades, the spiritual movement founded by OSHO, born Chandra Mohan Jain, developed a global presence through ashrams and communes in India, the United States, and Europe. These institutions promoted radical ideas about freedom, sexuality, authority, and consciousness, which were widely reported as departures from conventional social and moral norms. Across multiple news investigations and survivor testimonies published years after the events described, former members have alleged that these environments enabled sexual exploitation, including abuse of women and minors, under the guise of spiritual liberation. Several individuals quoted in mainstream media outlets have stated that consent was blurred or overridden by hierarchical power structures, spiritual obedience, and fear of exclusion.
Some reports also describe the presence and normalization of psychoactive substances within communal settings, allegedly encouraged as part of spiritual or therapeutic practices. In addition to personal harm, journalists and historians have documented allegations of financial irregularities, opaque governance, and misuse of communal resources within certain Osho-run institutions.

What do you think should be done?
People considering participation in spiritual, meditation, or wellness movements should actively seek information from independent and credible sources beyond official promotional material. This includes reviewing long-form investigative journalism, court records, academic research, and survivor testimonies published by established media outlets. Prospective participants should be cautious of environments that discourage questioning, normalize secrecy, elevate leaders beyond accountability, or frame personal boundaries as obstacles to spiritual growth. Awareness is especially important where communal living, hierarchical authority, or unconventional therapeutic practices are involved. Individuals already involved in such spaces should know their rights and prioritize personal safety and autonomy. They should maintain contact with family and external support networks, document concerning experiences, and seek advice from independent legal, mental health, or human-rights organizations if they feel pressured, controlled, or unsafe. Public awareness campaigns, educational institutions, and regulators also play a role by promoting critical thinking, informed consent, and safeguarding standards. Staying aware means understanding that spiritual exploration does not require surrendering personal dignity, legal protections, or the right to question authority.
