As someone has objected to my edits to guru, Hindu gurus are morally conservative and they respect the religious tradition. Rajneesh was their opposite. So, yeah, Western people believe Ranjeesh was a guru, Hindus not so much. tgeorgescu (talk) 10:54, 7 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Osho's teachings on sexuality were part of a broader exploration of human consciousness. He viewed sex as a powerful energy that, when channeled consciously, could lead to spiritual growth. His emphasis on open and honest sexuality was aimed at breaking down societal taboos and freeing individuals from guilt and shame. While this perspective was controversial, it was never his sole focus. Osho's discourses covered a vast range of topics, from meditation and philosophy to psychology and mysticism. Labeling him solely as a "sex guru" oversimplifies his complex and multifaceted teachings.

He is not a sex guru. 2409:4088:908E:A859:66A1:EB:E9BC:440 (talk) 18:13, 16 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Please remove “In expressing a more progressive attitude to sexuality he caused controversy in India during the late 1960s and became known as "the sex guru".” as it is also mentioned in Reception...
He had also stated his views on this controversy.
