Recensione

"The strength of this book is in itis non-judgmental analysis of conflicting social groups." Religious Studies Review

"This book is a superior analysis of a minority religious group. Based primarily on archival and secondary sources, the author traces the antecendents, development and collapse of Bagwan Shree Rajneesh's Oregon colony/commune from the viewpoints of its members (sannyasin) and opponents. There is also a discussion of the groups' doctrines and practices." Journal of Church and State

"This is the most detailed study to date of the history, institutions, and marketing stratagies of the Rajneesh Movement." Sociological Analysis

"The book presents a wealth of information and conjecture abou the Rajneesh movement worldwide, beginning around 1970, as well as about the four-yea communal experiment in Oregon. The study's limitations...should not discourage readers who want to know more about one of North America's largest and most publicized, if short-lived, experiments in utopian community." Utopian Studies
