Hello Everyone. I took sannyas in August 1984 at Rancho Rajneesh.
I first visited the Ranch as political scientists studying the creation of a brand new city in Oregon. I fell in love immediately!
I teach political science at Western Oregon State College. ... My son, Sw Prem Tarun took sannyas at the Ranch in December of 1984. Many may remember him as a big deaf/autistic guy who worked at Magdalena. Tarun's 18 months at the Ranch completely turned his life around -- his name means "fresh love" and that is what he found with a whole commune full of people, for the first time in his life. He lives in a small group home run by a deaf couple and happily works at a mailroom in Salem now. Be talking to you on this miracle of the net! Lots of love. (Dec 1995)
