Chidvilas Rajneesh Meditation Center

Rajneesh Friends International

Chidvilas Foundation, Inc.


Chidvilas Rajneesh Meditation Center was incorporated on Jul 6, 1981. Not to be confused with the meditation centre under the same name.

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

It operated the Oregon ranch "Rancho Rajneesh".

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 use 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 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, and did not vary significantly.
