Based on his own existential experience rather than on intellectual understanding, he distilled the essence of what is significant to the spiritual quest of contemporary man. Osho spoke of every aspect of life and on the development of human consciousness. By 1974, a commune had been established around him in Pune, and the trickle of visitors from the West soon became a flood. In the early 1970s, the West first began to hear of Osho. He felt that modern man is so burdened with the archaic traditions of the past as well as the anxieties of modern-day living that he must go through a deep cleansing process before he can hope to discover the thought-less, relaxed state of meditation. By the 1960s, Osho had begun to develop his unique dynamic meditation techniques. Meanwhile, he travelled throughout India delivering talks and meeting people from all walks of life. He spent several years teaching philosophy at the University of Jabalpur. He attained 'enlightenment' at 21 and went on to complete his academic studies. Rebellious and independent from childhood, he insisted on experiencing the truth for himself rather than acquiring knowledge and beliefs given by others. Osho was born in Kuchwada, Madhya Pradesh, on 11 December 1931.
