Osho or Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh was born in 1931 in Central India. He was a charismatic and gifted speaker who became the leader of a new age spiritual movement. Amongst many of his teachings, he taught about becoming more mindful, Love and how to live a fulfilling life.

Osho never believed in any one religion but combined elements of many religions in his teachings such as Buddhism, Hinduism and Christianity. He introduced a new type of meditation that involved letting go of all attachments to the past and future and ego.
