Meanwhile, he traveled throughout India giving talks, challenging orthodox religious leaders in public debate and meeting people from all walks of life.

By the late 1960s Osho had begun to develop his unique dynamic meditation techniques. He began to hold meditation camps around India. In the early 1970s, the first Westerners began to hear of Osho, and joined the growing numbers of Indians who had been initiated by him into Neo-sannyas. By 1974 a commune had been established around Osho in Poona.

Between 1981 and 1985, the communal experiment found itself in the United States, on a 126-square-mile section of high desert in eastern Oregon.

By the end of 1985, The commune was disbanded, local and government opposition to Osho and the commune had made it impossible for the experiment to continue, and Osho embarked on a world tour. In mid-1986 he returned to India.

By January 1987, Osho had resettled in Poona, giving talks twice a day.

From the middle of 1987 onwards, Osho's fragile health often prevented him from giving discourses.

Osho left his body on January 19, 1990.
