I fail to understand why some people criticize Rajneesh & his activities. I
am not aware of his preachings but just reading the criticism against him, i
feel i should say my bit.

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.

 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?
