The third in a series on the Rajneesh Cult.
Writer and Trauma Therapist NICOLA RANSON joined the Rajneesh sect in the 1970s, hoping to make the world a better place. What she found was hypocrisy and scandal at the hands of the group's leader - the guru, Osho.
MARK from Talk Beliefs dives into the world of Osho and the commune in Oregon known as Rajneeshpuram, and how thousands of people from all over the world were convinced that wearing orange and gyrating daily would save the world.
