Neo-Sannyas
Neo-Sannyas is a spiritual movement founded by the Indian guru Osho, also known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, in the late 20th century. It emphasizes personal transformation, meditation, and living in the present moment. The movement encourages followers to embrace their individuality and explore their inner selves through various practices, including dynamic meditation.
The Neo-Sannyas community promotes a lifestyle that combines Eastern spiritual traditions with Western psychology. Followers often wear orange robes and adopt new names, symbolizing their commitment to the path of self-discovery. The movement gained international attention, particularly during the 1980s, when Rajneeshpuram, a commune in Oregon, became a focal point for its teachings.
