Pune: The Osho International Meditation Center had sparked controversy by banning the entry of disciples who wear the diksha malas provided by the organization’s founder, Osho. The incident led to a protest on Tuesday, March 21 when devotees were refused entry on the occasion of the 70th Enlightenment Day. However, after the protest the disciplines were allowed entry into the Ashram wearing the malas and the management committee has assured them that henceforth they won’t be stopped.

Undeterred by the humiliation faced during Osho’s death anniversary on January 19 when hundreds of sannyasins were forbidden from entering the Osho Commune, about 3000 of them are now swooping down on Pune, to commemorate the 70th Enlightenment Day of their master, from March 19 to 21.
Leading the movement are Ma Dharma Jyoti and Swami Chaitanya Keerti. While Ma was one of the first followers to take sannyasa on September 21, 1970, Swami was the spokesperson of the commune for a long time since the Ashram got established on March 21, 1974.
