OSHO®? --Conclusion --Notes --Selected Bibliography --IndexZorba the Buddha is the first comprehensive study of the life, teachings, and following of the controversial Indian guru known in his youth as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and in his later years as Osho (1931-1990). Most Americans today remember him only as the "sex guru" and the "Rolls Royce guru," who built a hugely successful but scandal-ridden utopian community in central Oregon during the 1980's. Yet Osho was arguably the first truly global guru of the twentieth century, creating a large transnational movement that traced a complex global circuit from post-Independence India of the 1960's to Reagan's America of the 1980's and back to a developing new India in the 1990's. The Osho movement embodies some of the most important economic and spiritual currents of the past forty years, emerging and adapting within an increasingly interconnected and conflicted late-capitalist world order. Based on extensive ethnographic and archival research, Hugh Urban has created a rich and powerful narrative that is a must-read for anyone interested in religion and globalization.GurusBiographyNew Age movementOregonHistory20th centuryNew Age movementIndiaHistoryanti gandhi.bhagwan shree rajneesh.buddhism.buddhist guru.buddhists.eastern religions.fallen gurus.global capitalism.global osho movement.global religion.globalization.gurus.hinduism.indias most dangerous guru.new age movement.oregon guru.osho movement.osho.rajneesh community.rajneeshpuram.religious sexual liberation.rolls royce guru.sex guru.sex.sexual liberation.spiritual leaders.spiritual logic of late capitalism.tantra.world religion.GurusNew Age movementHistoryNew Age movementHistory.299/.93Urban Hugh B.1472765MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797753403321Zorba the Buddha3852067UNINA
