A short lived name that both Osho International Foundation, Switzerland (OIF, Zurich) and Osho International Foundation, India (OIF, India) used from 1988 to 1990.

After the closure of Rajneeshpuram, Osho transferred the publishing licence back to the Rajneesh Foundation (RF India). He refused to transfer the licence to Rajneesh Foundation Europe (RF Europe). In turn, people in charge gave BOTH foundations the same name for the first time, naming both of them Neo-Sannyas International Foundation and finally Osho International Foundation. This allowed OIF later on to claim that Osho transfered his copyright to OIF, Switzerland, dispite Osho's intentions to keep the publishing licence in India.


NSIF should not be confused with "Neo-Sannyas International" that was set up as a worldwide movement by Osho in the early seventies. Osho appoints presidents, vice presidents and secretaries for continents, countries, and for provinces in India.
