Bonnie and Karen talk about the sex cult called the Rajneesh this week. If you haven’t watched the Netflix documentary Wild Wild Country, Bonnie goes over it while trying to capture the insanity.
Bagwan Shree Rajneesh, the guru, gathers up well-educated Western followers in Pune, India.
They then all move, with his Rolls Royces, to Antelope, Oregon. That’s when they take over the small town and things go to hell.
This story has orgies, robes, beavers in blenders and on women, bombs, poison, salad bars. It seems like a fictitious story, but it’s very real. Karen tells her own story of being a missionary in India and visiting the Rajneesh ashram with hopes that her presence and under-her-breath prayers will slay the devil and they’ll all repent.
