Day - 1 (30th November)
This Commune the Buddhafield: The Rajneesh Ashram in 1980
Only 5 years after the foundation of the ashram, visitors are now coming in thousands and in the newly erected Buddha Auditorium Osho gives his breathtaking discourses to an assembly of a few thousands Sannyasins and the gathered world press.
A few days later these discourses will be printed and distributed as books or audio tapes around the world. The ashram had become the largest and most important spiritual growth centre in the world and includes facilities like a bookshop, a carpentry workshop, a medical unit and a huge canteen. More then a dozen therapy groups from Zen to Encounter and Tarot reading are happening daily in the sound proof therapy chambers. Due to the enormous interest of the world press, more and more people found their way to the ashram, which by now is far too small, even though it had grown to several times its original size.
At this point no one could imagine that Osho would soon create something very much bigger. But this would no longer be in India, the story would continue in Oregon, USA.
This is the last extensive documentation of the ashram before Osho left India for the US.
Freedom is your Nature - Part 1
Osho's cameraman, Berlin film maker and producer Niskriya, produced the most comprehensive documentary on Osho and his ashram - a masterpiece that does not leave any question on Osho unanswered. Never before was Osho portrayed in such a sensitive and comprehensive way. The first part of "Freedom is Your Nature" shows the enormous importance of meditation in personal growth. Osho also speaks about the reasons why the utopia city Rajneeshpuram in the USA was destroyed by the US government and what happened to him during the 12 days he was kidnapped by US marshals - which finally let to his poisoning in an US jail.
Day - 2 (1st December)
Freedom is your Nature - Part 2
In this second part of Freedom is your Nature, Osho speaks clearly about the actual situation on this planet and the responsibility each individual carries for the misery of this world.
Experiment to provoke God
This film describes this most thrilling story of modern religious consciousness in an unprejudiced way - the raise and fall of Rajneeshpuram, the utopian city of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh in Oregon USA. The true reason for the failure of the ranch is brought to a point by Osho's attorney Swami Niren: "If you have a little brown guy from India, whose fundamental premise is that we all need to be one and we all need to love each other, and out of oneness and love we will no longer need the politicians, we will no longer need the religions, we will no longer need people to tell us what to do, who comes in and says the family is dead, this is not going to go down real well in eastern Oregon, this is not going to go down well in Washington D.C."
Day - 3 (2nd December)
Bhagwan - Spiritual terrorist
This brilliantly investigated documentary by an Australian film team, produced one year before Osho left his body, gives us an in-depth view into the ashram and the work of a spiritual master.
It tells the story of Matthew, an Australian husband, who decides to travel to the Osho ashram in Poona to find himself, against the wishes of his wife who thinks that his place is not in Poona but at her and their baby's side. But he still goes and the film team go with him.
One feels that they did not just make a film hiding behind their cameras and keeping themselves aloof and distances but that they themselves went through a
growth experience.
Biography
This is the first comprehensive film biography of Osho. It includes countless pieces of unreleased footage.
This documentation takes us to Osho's place of birth Kuchwada in central India as well as to the places where he grew up, studied and meditated in his early life. We see previously unknown pictures from his time as professor at University of Jabalpur and as orator to multitudes of more than 50,000 people.
There is a thorough documentation of the time in Poona and the Ranch in Oregon USA, As well as the ensuing abduction through the agencies of the US Government. After his deportation from the US and the odyssey of the world tour through 21 countries, we return to Poona where Osho's life is documented until he leaves the body on January 19th 1990.
I leave you my dream
On 19 January 1990 Osho leaves his body after a long sickness due to his poisoning by the US- Government in 1985. His body was brought to Buddha Hall the same evening so that his Sannyasins could give him a send off. Later on his body was carried to the burning ghat and the river near the ashram and cremated in a large celebration with all his Sannyasins.
This very touching film was made on that evening when Osho's personal physician Amrito declared Osho's death and announced his last words to his Sannyasins
