<p>In December 2020, the OIF filed an application before the Office of the Joint Charity Commissioner, Mumbai, seeking permission for selling the two plots to Rajiv Bajaj and their Risabh Family Trust. The OSHO International Foundation (OIF), a public charitable trust, which runs the Osho International Meditation Resort, better known as Osho Ashram or Osho Commune, has been at the centre of a controversy for the past three years after it emerged that it has decided to sell two plots located within its premises in Koregaon Park area of Pune city.</p>

Osho Ashram in Pune: Why a rebel faction opposes the sale of 2 plots by OSHO International Foundation

The trust belonging to the Bajaj family, which lives in Koregaon Park, had sought to purchase the two plots of land, measuring around 9,800 square metre, for Rs 107 crore.
The office of the Joint Charity Commissioner in Mumbai has rejected an application from the Osho International Foundation (OIF), which runs the Osho International Meditation Resort, to sell two plots of prime land in Koregaon Park area of Pune following objections from a rebel faction of Osho disciples.

The Osho International Foundation had put up the land in Pune’s Koregaon Park, measuring around 9,800 square metres, for sale.

THE Osho “rebel” group has alleged that over 200 pages related to their spiritual guru on Facebook have been removed on instructions of the management of Pune-based Osho International Foundation (which works under Switzerland’s Osho International Foundation) so that information about such celebrations does not reach all Osho’s disciples as it did before. The Osho International Meditation Resort refused to comment on the allegations.
