I am not aware of his preachings but just reading the criticism against him, i feel i should say my bit. > "'I'm not much interested in uneducated, illiterate street beggars', >Rajneesh said. (So much for Rajneesh's claims to being a God. Uneducated, >illiterate street beggars don't have Rolls Royces to 'donate' to him, >unfortunately). First of all there is nothing wrong in someone claiming to be a GOD! And there is no reason why all such GODS have to help the poor & the needy. Remember the rich also ocassionally require help. Where would they go if there was'nt any one like Rajneesh around? Also i don't see why anybody should object their donating Rolls Royces to him. > "...His teaching that there is no God (besides himself, of course) has >particularly angered local Christians, as does casual nudity and cheerful >advocacy of free love." > There is no reason for the local christians to be angry with his teachings. They can believe what they want to. Can't they be tolerant to people whose beliefs do not coincide with theirs?
