Podcasts about rajneeshees

This week, Kaitlyn brings you a wild tale that is less dark than the rest of the season in that no one dies, but that is the only way it's less dark. In the 1980s, the Rajneesh Movement relocated to Antelope, Oregon, a town of only 40 residents. The hundreds of Rajneeshees caused chaos, to say the least. ...Follow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/mysteriousishpodFollow us on Instagram: @mysteriousishpodCheck out our website and blog: www.mysteriousishpod.comSubscribe on Patreon: www.patreon.com/mysteriousishpodThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

In this week's episode, we look at the bioterrorism attack committed by the Rajneeshees.

When in 1984 751 people in The Dalles, Oregon, suddenly contracted salmonella after eating at a number of salad bars, the authorities put it down to poor hygiene of the food handlers, despite local residents suspecting the involvement of the Rajneeshees, a cult of 7000 people who had overtaken a nearby ranch. This is the tale of everything that happened before and after.

AFTER THE ELECTION, the new formerly homeless residents of Rajneeshpuram were the most pressing problem for Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and his followers. They cost a lot of money to feed and house, and they started fights and made trouble. Rajneeshee leaders started out giving them bus tickets home, but that got very expensive very fast. After all, it had cost $1 million to bring them in by busloads; sending them home one or two at a time would be many times more than that. So finally, the Rajneeshees gave up and, herding them all aboard buses, simply hauled them to downtown Madras and dropped them off. Social-services agencies were forced to take on the task of getting them all home. The Salvation Army alone spent more than $100,000 taking care of them. (Near The Dalles, Wasco County; 1980s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/23-08d.rajneeshpuramPart4of5.html)

IN THE COURTYARD at the Antelope Post Office today, there stands a large bronze plaque attached to the base of a flagpole. It reads, “Dedicated to those of this community who throughout the Rajneesh invasion and occupation of 1981-1985 remained, resisted and remembered.” Most visitors probably roll their eyes at this, thinking it a bit melodramatic. Invasion? Occupation? Puh-leeze, they might mutter. But the Rajneeshee takeover of Antelope was not an anodyne bureaucratic exercise. To those who lived through it, it really did feel like a foreign military power had rolled into their town and occupied it. It started out very stealthily. Several properties in the town were up for sale, and suddenly there were offers on all of them. Very ordinary-looking people signed the documents and took possession. Then some more very ordinary-looking people moved into the properties.... (Rajneeshpuram, Wasco County; 1980s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/23-08c.rajneeshpuramPart3of5.html)

ON JUNE 1, 1981, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh boarded a Boeing 747 for a flight from Mumbai to New York City. Officially the trip was for medical treatment, and authorities were told he'd be heading back home to India afterward. But Rajneesh was not planning on returning. His movement, which had already become an international octopus with meditation centers in dozens of different countries around the world, had outgrown the Pune campus. He needed a new World Headquarters. And his new personal secretary, Ma Anand Sheela (formerly known as Sheela Patel Silverman), had found one for him. Sheela closed the deal for the property then known as the Big Muddy Ranch the following month, paying $5.75 million for it. It was 64,229 acres of Central Oregon rangeland with only the amenities one would expect a family ranch to have. And in late August, she chartered a Learjet to fly the guru in to see, for the first time, the dry landscape that was to be his new home.

This week Ash and Caitlyn from PNW Haunts and Homicides take you back to Rajneeshpuram. Ash originally covered Rajneesh and his followers in episode 20, which is now only available on the Patreon... and since then, she's learned some new things about "the Bhagwan" that were left out of the wildly popular Netflix documentary Wild, Wild Country.Rajneesh (aka the Sex Guru, the Rolls-Royce Guru and Osho) started his ashram in India and hundreds of Westerners flocked to study with this enlightened and mysterious Guru. What they didn't know is that his "dynamic meditations" had little to do with meditation, and a lot more to do with physical and sexual assault. He was driven out of India and even greater mania ensued...This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

Bold statements and tantalizing teasers? This episode has them in spades. We're joined by Ash from TSFU for Part 2. Brace yourself as we navigate the unsettling world of charisma gone horrifically astray, spotlighting cult leader and master manipulator Bhagwan Rajneesh. We pull back the curtain on the paradox of followers reporting blissful experiences in his presence, as we lay bare the chilling methods employed for control and abuse.Delving into the eccentricities and often gauche excesses of Bhagwan Rajneesh, we illuminate the dark corners of his 'free love' philosophy. We recount stories of rampant abuse within the group and the horrifying tales of the victims who still fear facing repercussions for speaking out. We'll detail the saga of the small community - Antelope, Oregon, that was infiltrated and overpowered by Rajneesh's followers, as well as the alarming lengths taken in pursuit of power and control.Spoiler alert

Cults and cult leaders can be a disturbing topic to delve into, but it's crucial to expose these manipulative figures and their actions. Tough topics are always a little easier with a friend by your side and that's why we're joined by Ash from TSFU! This episode takes you on the first half of a dark and twisted journey, that of a notorious figure and his devoted followers. We strip away illusions, exposing the shocking truths, some omitted from the Netflix documentary covering the infamous group and the path of destruction that followed. The Bhagwan (or Rajneesh) proves a puzzling spiritual leader, rejecting traditional religious structures and amassing symbols of wealth. Rajneesh's story is also one of both fame and scandal marked by a number of allegations, and many acts of wrong doing. We'll explore the controversial habits, and often contradictory beliefs to begin to chip away at one of the key questions regarding the case, how did a man so contentious rise to power & influence?  The Rajneeshees would leave an unmistakable trail of violence, abuse, and scandal in a small, rural community of Antelope, Oregon. Part 2 will cover how this group left an indelible mark on Wasco County as well as many surrounding areas of the Pacific Northwest. So, brace yourselves as we unravel the secrets of one of the most extreme cults in the Pacific Northwest.Exposing the dark underbelly of these spiritual gurus highlights the danger of manipulation and the seductive power of spirituality, underscoring the importance of awareness and vigilance in recognizing the signs of coercive groups, as well as the potentially destructive effects they can have on individuals and communities. Many cult leaders use spirituality as a weapon to control and exploit their followers. By understanding their tactics, we can better equip ourselves to recognize and combat such manipulation, preventing further victimization and ensuring a safer, more informed society.Today we shared a promo for the podcast They Don't Stay Dead!Come see us at: True Crime & Paranormal Podcast Festival!

Bob Steringer is the firm president of Harrang Long P.C. and Bill Gary is the firm's senior trial attorney (and former Solicitor General of the State of Oregon). Both are well-respected attorneys with deep experience in Oregon politics, law, and government. Harrang Long P.C. is Oregon360 Media's first advertising partner, and in this episode we discuss the firm's interesting position at the intersection of law, business, and policy--and what their future looks like.    Gary was Dave Frohnmayer's chief deputy when he served as Oregon's Attorney General; Steringer was an intern of Frohnmayer's 1990 gubernatorial run--both worked with him at Harrang Long P.C. later in Frohnmayer's career. They reflect on who Frohnmayer was and what made him a unique and consequential figure in Oregon history. We also talk about the Rajneeshees--a complicated and high-profile issue that Gary navigated in the AG's office. You may have seen Gary in the popular netflix documentary "Wild, Wild Country". In this episode, he discusses that experience and tells some mind-blowing stories from a wild period in Oregon politics.   To learn more about Harrang Long P.C., visit their website: https://harrang.com/   More links:  Dave Frohnmayer's prescient "New Tribalism" speech/essay Bob Steringer on Twitter: @SteringerLaw  Netflix documentary on Rajneeshee Movement: Wild, Wild Country

In this week's episode Eden tells us the story of a cult filled with sex, fancy cars, a lot of food poisoning, and enough criminal activity to make the mob jealous. Later, Nicole tells us about a town called Boring and the most elusive cryptid of all time…hint: he really needs a good shave. These are the stories of The Rajneeshees and Bigfoot!

Do you know how to pronounce tough, though, night and through? Do you know why we pronounce these differently? It's difficult isn't it? Well, tough titties. And that brings us to our episode for this week, where we bring you this now quintessential Australian expression. At the same time we're going to help you pronounce some words with the "gh" spelling. Most people are familiar with "Osho" and his movement and followers. It has received renewed attention since the documentary Wild Wild Country was released. What is less well known, is the influence they had in Australia and in particular, Western Australia. The Sanyassins, Rajneeshees or "Orange People", as they were known thanks to their largely orange coloured clothes began to make their mark in the late 70s and early 80s. Although their main base was in the United States, their "spiritual home" was rumoured to be planned for a small town in South West, Western Australia, called Pemberton. It was this, and the resultant influx of Orange People into Freo, that led to a series of combative interviews with Osho's personal secretary, Ma Anand Sheela (Sheela Birnstiel). Her unsympathetic tone led to the airing of the now infamous, "tough titties" during one such interview. The rest is history. Although the movement faded from view, its impact on Australia has been profound. Australia had a particularly conservative culture and this allowed various movements to flourish. Freo and Byron Bay for example, are havens for alternative lifestyles and attractive to travellers for various reasons. They were once upon a time centres for the Rajneesh. We hope you enjoy this episode. Give us your feedback on your knowledge of Osho and the pronounciation of the letters gh!

Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. Such a good example of that with this week's episode. In 2018, I watched a fascinating docuseries on Netflix called Wild, Wild Country about a controversial guru building a utopian city in the Oregon desert. I thought about doing an episode about the Rajneeshees then, but I didn't want to be overly influenced by that one show. I'm glad I waited. More dirt on the cult has come to light in the years since, and we look into it today. Did Bhagwan Rajneesh really offer enlightenment to his followers? Did he really ever even care about enlightenment? Or was it all about getting rich and sex? Or was it about enlightenment AND getting rich AND sex? Bhagwan's messages often seem empowering and enlightened at quick glance, but looking deeper, there was always a lot of darkness inside the supposed utopia he was trying to build. Hope you like this one as much as I did. Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation:  The Bad Magic Charity for May is the HALO Dental Network.

You may have heard of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and his followers, commonly known as Rajneeshees or sannyasins, from the incredibly popular Netflix documentary “Wild, Wild Country.” Well in today's episode we speak with a former follower of the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh cult to get a better understanding of how this society functioned, what it was like to live in normal society as a member of the cult, and what it was like on the famous Oregon ranch. With our guest, Annie (who has asked to remain anonymous but showed her mala that she wore during her time as a Rajneshee to prove her affiliation with the cult), we find out how she first find out about Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and the Rajneeshees, and what inspired her to join their cult, where she goes into great detail about how she found them when she was 16 at an Alcoholics Anonymous event. She also shares why life as a Rajneeshee was difficult off the ranch in normal society, as society often treated them with a mixture of suspicion, curiosity, and fear. In fact, she was fired from all of her jobs due to her membership in the cult, but she also explains how she saw this as a positive, “a trial by fire” as she claims. Annie also goes into detail about what it was like visiting the ranch in 1983, when, she believes, much of the footage used in the documentary was filmed. She talks about the important role meditation played in being a Rajneeshee and what a normal day was like on the ranch. She also shares her thoughts on how accurate the documentary was, how close she came to meeting Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, and finally, how she left the cult in the end. Overall, Annie explains why she doesn't see the following as a religion or cult, but instead as a community and how this community had such an overall, lasting positive experience in her life.

This one is a doozy! We are covering cults this week and it took us a long time to record this one for a reason. Amanda dives into the peaceful Rajneeshees while Hayley takes a turn  and talks all about Australia's biggest cult, The Family.

He's covered politics, business, the Rajneeshees, and every major news story over three decades. We also have the morning news anchor shift in common. What Ken knows first-hand, and I never will, is what it is to be a person of color in Portland and on the air. His perspective is unique.

I worked with dozens of great news photographers over my 31 years. Brian Robertson is one of those for sure. He shot news at KGW for 30 years. He covered the San Francisco earthquake, the aftermath of 9-11 at the World Trade Center, the NBA Finals, the Rajneeshees, and he traveled to Kosovo during war time. When Brian wasn't covering hard news, we often got to shoot fun stuff together. In this episode we re-live those stories.. and the lessons we learned together imbedded with the OSHU transplant team. Brian was also behind the lens for several historic video moments. You never had a bad day working with Brian. I hope you enjoy 45 minutes with him here.

Are you in the market for niche cult memorabilia? For just $8,000, you could be the new owner of a small building formerly used by the Rajneeshees as a guardhouse on their Wasco County 1980s commune. Jake French, whose family owns the guardhouse, tells us how he discovered it belonged to followers of guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, and why he wants to sell it.

The Rajneeshees extend themselves into the community in an effort to sway public opinion and make some money. But now their enemies have easy access to them — a vulnerability that is violently exploited on July 29, 1983.

It’s the third installment of our Cults series and this week we’re seeing red! Travel with us to the Big Muddy Ranch in Oregon and learn about the Rajneeshee movement of the early 1980’s. Made popular by the Netflix documentary series Wild, Wild Country, they’re not quite as sinister as some of other cults we’ll cover in this series, but a freaky deaky sex cult nonetheless. Hippies and semi-automatic weapons DO NOT MIX WELL in the small town of Antelope, causing friction between the Rajneeshees and the old crotchety town folk. As always, we’ll compare the actual definition of a cult with the practices and antics of the Sannyasins and see where we land.

How do the Rajneeshees go about fulfilling their Master's vision of a new utopia on their ranch? We see what life was like for the hundreds of commune members who toiled from sun-up to sundown each day to make it happen. And later, we catch up with the big man himself. Bhagwan had entered into a silent phase before leaving India. So if he wasn’t talking… what was he doing in his secluded compound?

It’s the holiday season in Rajneeshpuram! We’ll explore the Rajneeshees’ three major holidays and see how they were celebrated during Bhagwan's first year in America. This culminates in the First World Festival in July 1982, which attracted 5,000 visitors and helped lay the foundation for the city of Rajneeshpuram. We’ll close by hearing Bhagwan’s thoughts on Santa Claus.

War is looming between the Rajneeshees and a town of just 39 people — a “ghost town,” as Sheela calls it. Bhagwan’s followers are about to go to battle with the people of Antelope.

As Sheela and the first Rajneeshees arrive at the Big Muddy Ranch in July 1981, we explore why Oregon was about the last place they should have picked for Bhagwan's new commune. To transform the huge tract of agricultural land into a commune fit for an enlightened Master and thousands of his disciples, they'll need to concoct stories to tell their neighbors and government officials. But the truth becomes clear when Bhagwan arrives amidst a fleet of Rolls Royces.

Who doesn't love a good sex cult? If you're wondering where the right to bear arms meets the right to bare butts, this is the episode for you! This week, the guys peek under the robes to discover the hidden world of Rajneeshpuram, the Oregon cult of the 70s and 80s. This episode is insane, so be prepared for everything from free love to terrorist bombings. After this wild, wild ride is over, you may not want to run out and out and join the Rajneeshees, but we guarantee you'll never look at a sneeze guard the same way again.

On this episode of The Sofa King Podcast, we look at one of the most interesting cults we’ve ever covered: The Rajneeshees. Let me give you a teaser. Their story involves the bombing of a hotel by a radical Islamic group, a bio weapon attack involving poisoned salads, an assassination attempt of a prominent politician, a lot of capitalistic sex, a war against Nike, the attempt to take over a town in Oregon, an army of hoboes who were knowingly high on Haldol, and a plot to poison the water supply with an army of beavers. Yes. That’s all true. It sure seems like a lot when you string it all together. So, who are the Rajneeshees, and what did they believe? They started as the followers of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (also known as Osho), a public speaker from India who specialized in meditation seminars. He got backing by some wealthy folks in India, and he quickly rose in prominence, securing a whopping 100,000 followers in just a few years. They lived in an ashram in India but spread throughout the globe. They started to be a group that was somewhat hedonistic, celebrating things that made you feel good, from material possession to sex. Lots of sex. Eventually, they settled on a plot of land in rural Oregon, and there, they went to war with one of the co-founders of Nike to claim dominance over the area. This battle got intense, and eventually led to the group doing all they could to win local elections and stay in power (this is where the bio attack, army of hoboes, an assassination plot, and poisonous beavers come on the scene). So, what was up with Rajneesh’s 93 Rolls Royce cars? How much sex did this sex cult have? How big was their militia? What did the Rajneeshees secretary do to take power, and where did she end up? What happened to the army of hoboes? Why did the cult try to cultivate live AIDS cultures? Listen, laugh, learn.

The new Netflix documentary “Wild, Wild Country” delves into the strange world of the Rajneeshees, a religious group that moved to Oregon in the 1980s and clashed with local townspeople. The documentary reveals plenty about those tensions, but left us hungry for more detail about everyday life at the Rajneeshee Ranch. Writer Melissa Locker tells us about the group’s cookbook, Zorba the Buddha. Then Maddie talks to chef and restaurant owner Tanya Holland about the challenges of opening a restaurant as a black woman. Bonus: Tanya plays Gross or Tasty—drawing from her time as a judge on Iron Chef.

"Wild Wild Country" directors Chapman and Maclain Way join the Heathers for some casual conversation about the Rajneeshees belief system and that age old equation, "Cult + Time = Religion". --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/highly-spiritual/support

Jo Thornely talks to Rachael Mogan McIntosh about the cult that inspired luxury car ownership, salad bar terrorism, and tough titties: The Rajneeshees.

Wasco County, Oregon, was once a relatively sleepy community. But in the 1980s it became home to members of a group who called themselves the Rajneeshees. As the group morphed from a peaceful following into a militarized and exclusive community, they began to butt heads with Wasco county residents. Host Kim Andrews looks at the Rajneeshees and the battles between communities.

Mitch and Andrew break down threats to our food supply with the man with the best title  in the world: Pepsico's Senior Manager for Global Food Defense, Jason Bashura. From the Dalles salad bar salmonella to the Michigan salad bar mouse poisonings, from Ikea's horsemeat to the scariest Mexican food in Kansas, we cover where food defense has been, where it's going, and why we may never be able to drink iced tea again. Props to the FDA for the new "Final Rule for Mitigation Strategies to Protect Food Against Intentional Adulteration". Okay, it could use a sexier name, but it's awesome. Finally - we inaugurate the Dukes of Hazards campaign to reinstate the Rick Rescorla National Award for Resilience - Men of Cornwall stand ye steady! �
