Osho Rajneesh

Signature continues its valuable Studies in Contemporary Religion series with Osho Rajneesh, a brief synopsis of the controversial spiritual leader who is usually known as ""Osho."" The larger-than-life founder of Dynamic Meditation, Osho (1931-1990) attracted thousands of followers while also infuriating various members of established religious traditions with his flagrant sexuality, egotistical attitudes and indulgent materialism. Author Judith Fox does surprising justice to Osho in a succinct (fewer than 60 pages) but balanced treatment, presenting an accessible introduction to the infamous guru. (Aug.)
