Osho lived from December 11th, 1931 - January 19th, 1990. He was a mystic. His birth name was Chandra Mohan Jain. During the 1970s and 1980s, he was known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, and he was only known as Osho during the last years of his life and beyond.
Osho was the eldest of 11 children and was raised in a small village in India. For the first seven years of his life, he was raised by his grandparents, though he was very much affected by the death of his grandfather when he was seven. After this, he went back to live with his parents. Later, Osho attended college where he was a very bright but disruptive student. He was asked to leave Hitkarini College after an argument with a professor, and transferred to D. N. Jain College where he was not required to attend lectures- only to take tests- because he was so disruptive! Next, Osho attended graduate school, graduating with an MA in Philosophy. At the age of 21, Osho reported becoming spiritually enlightened while sitting under a tree in the Bhanvartal Garden in Jabalpur.
