110. The Cult of Osho: A Saint or a Sinner? (Pt.1)

Imagine you’re living in a small middle town in the state of Oregon in 1981. Living in a ranching town with just about 50 people, you were most probably white. Life was quiet and life was simple but life was good for you there. Until one day, something seemed different. Cars and people, including Rolls Royces show up at your small sleepy town. And the people seem different— dressed in reddish orange robes, they chant music, hold ceremonial events, even have the roads around them closed off, and from there things only get weirder and scarier and more illegal. This is the story of one such sleepy American town and the one man who changed it all. This is the story of Osho. For extra episodes, early access, silly bloopers, subscribe at: https://www.patreon.com/thedesistudios or join our YouTube family https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnbfV0YvrxWMq3h0hmo13Jg/joinTo buy Desi Studios merch, visit: https://kadakmerch.com/collections/desi-studiosFor fastest updates, follow our socials at: https://www.instagram.com/desicrime/Want our content in video formats instead?
