- A regional bavarian TV magazine report (Schwaben & Altbayern), was already sent on Jan 19, 2020 and is interviewing neighbours and sannyasins about the sannyas commune in Magarethenried, Bavaria, Germany. How is their memory now almost 50 years later?
- The report has nice historical footage (another german TV documentary of the WDR from the 1970s) about this commune. The topic starts at minute 25:58 and stops at minute 35:09.
- Bavaria is thought to be a conservative state of Germany. But interestingly the moderator states in the introduction that in the 1970s Bavaria became a little bit „orange“.
- Bayrischer Rundfunk - Title of the report: Schwaben & Altbayern:
- “Im winzigen Margarethenried in der Hallertau lebten in den 70er Jahren Bhagwan-Anhänger ihre Vision von innerer Erfüllung und freier Liebe. Wie haben die Dorfbewohner damals darauf reagiert und was ist aus den ehemaligen Anhängern geworden?“
