I became nonexistential
In the night of March 21, 1953, while still a student at the University of Saugar, Osho attained complete enlightenment. He describes the event:
„That night another reality opened ist door, another dimension became available. Suddenly it was there – the other reality, the separate reality, the really real, or whatsoever you want to call it. Call it God, call it truth, call it Dharma, call it Tao or whatever you will.
That night I became empty and became full. I became nonexistential und became existence. That night I died and was reborn.“
While continuing with the boundaries of his academic career, Osho began zu travel and speak to people about his experience and the teachings which grew out of it. He was both an eloquent speaker and advocate for controversial religious views. Finally in 1966 he resigned his university post and became a full-time spiritual leader. He traveled throughout India from his home in Jabalpur for several years before moving to Bombay in 1969 with a small group of his most dedicated disciples. Around 1970 the first Westerners discovered him and began to come to his Bombay apartment headquarters. Then in 1974 he purchased a site for an ashram in Poona and founded the Rajneesh Foundation (now the Osho Commune International).
