Chidvilas Rajneesh Meditation Center

Rajneesh Friends International

Chidvilas Foundation, Inc.


Chidvilas Rajneesh Meditation Center, Montclair, was incorporated in the state of New Jersey on Oct 14, 1975, which subsequently was registered in Oregon under the same name as a "Foreign Nonprofit Corporation" on Jul 6, 1981, after it purchased the "Rancho Rajneesh" property on Jun 13, 1981.

On Nov 23, 1981 the Chidvilas Rajneesh Meditation Center changed its name to Rajneesh Foundation International (RFI, USA).

It operated the Ranch and it was the main publisher of Osho books in the Ranch period (1982-1985). Books were published by Ma Anand Sheela and all books published by Rajneesh Foundation International used Osho's previous name Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.

Near the end of the Ranch, on Oct 18, 1985 RFI changed its name to Rajneesh Friends International.

On Nov 26, 1986 it was renamed (back) to Chidvilas Foundation, Inc. and finally revoked on Aug 28, 1987.


The RFI logo

The two birds image of the ranch is straightforward enough. The white bird (in most versions of the logo) is Osho, the darker bird behind, shadowing the master as it were, is the disciple, now having learned to fly on hir own. This image appeared on all the books published at the ranch and on Rajneesh Times International as late as Oct 1989, not varying significantly in that context.
