Osho's teachings aimed to merge eastern mysticism with western materialism, mixing market economy with meditation that would result, as he said, in the 'new awakened man'

The sweetest personal anecdote around the late guru Osho that I've heard is about my friend Pooja, who was a little child, when her father Mahesh, and his friend Vinod, would pack her into the back of their Fiat, flying high on psychotropic substances, driving through the fields to the preacher man's ashram in Pune, in the late '70s/early '80s.
