NEW DELHI, Nov. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A delegation of Osho disciples
from Osho Friends Foundation, a public trust which preserves and
proliferates the teachings of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, have submitted an
appeal to Hon’ble Minister of State for Social Justice &
Empowerment, Shri Ramdas Athawale to urgently institute an Inquiry
Commission to audit all trusts of Osho Ashram, Pune and Mumbai as well
as stop the sale of Bhagwan Rajneesh’s properties worth over 1000
Crore at the Pune Ashram. The delegation comprised of Osho disciples
Swami Prem Geet, Sunil Mirpuri, Swami Chaitanya Keerti, Swami Kul
Bhushan, Ma Dharm Jyoti, and Swami Atul Anand among others.
Hon’ble Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment, Shri
Ramdas Athawale* said, “It is my duty and responsibility to ensure that
justice is done especially in case of a renowned spiritual organization
such as the one founded by Osho.”
Swami Prem Geet, Osho Friends Foundation,* said, “We, the disciples of
Osho are seeking to protect the legacies of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. The
legacies of Osho are national spiritual heritage which will benefit
several generations to come. Our appeal to the Government of India comes
in the backdrop of the Osho Ashram trust properties being siphoned
outside India by foreigners and serious offences of money laundering and
forgery of Osho’s will, reported against them. We therefore urge the
Hon’ble Minister to set up a full-fledged Commission of Inquiry into the
operations and finances of all trusts of the Osho Ashram
in Pune and Mumbai with their links abroad.”
