<big><big>Places, work departments, etc</big></big>
 
Note that here, "Rajneeshpuram" refers the the Ranch as a whole, not just the areas (temporarily) incorporated as a city under the laws of Oregon.
 
At the Ranch, the main mode of participation with Osho was work. Visitors, especially during Celebrations, might come for meditations or groups or courses at [[Rajneesh International Meditation University]] (RIMU), but the main emphasis was on work. There was a city to build, a desert wasteland to green, etc.
 
Due to the particular circumstances of the time -- Osho in public silence, [[Ma Anand Sheela|Sheela]] running everything -- the pattern of this work developed certain social characteristics, about which more [[Ranch social history|elsewhere]]. Here we will merely note that work was called "worship" and workplaces (departments) "temples". This terminology will crop up occasionally but not be a prominent feature of how the wiki presents this part of sannyas history.

the whole ranch

Places, work departments, etc

Note that here, "Rajneeshpuram" refers the the Ranch as a whole, not just the areas (temporarily) incorporated as a city under the laws of Oregon.

At the Ranch, the main mode of participation with Osho was work. Visitors, especially during Celebrations, might come for meditations or groups or courses at Rajneesh International Meditation University (RIMU), but the main emphasis was on work. There was a city to build, a desert wasteland to green, etc.

Due to the particular circumstances of the time -- Osho in public silence, Sheela running everything -- the pattern of this work developed certain social characteristics, about which more elsewhere. Here we will merely note that work was called "worship" and workplaces (departments) "temples". This terminology will crop up occasionally but not be a prominent feature of how the wiki presents this part of sannyas history.


This list was initially compiled by Ma Anand Bhagawati & Sw Deva Bodhena. Please note: this is a work in progress, additions and corrections do happen.

Please tell us your additions and corrections.

name notes
City of Rajneesh Temporary name for Antelope (09/84 - 11/85)
Rancho Rajneesh
"The Ranch"		 Entire property formerly known as the Big Muddy Ranch (top map)
Rajneeshpuram The incorporated parts of Rancho Rajneesh, consisting of the central "downtown" and nearby areas**, Desiderata, and Gautam the Buddha Grove. Map right covers perhaps 3% of the whole ranch and shows locations for many of the place names below.

local areas

name notes

Gautam The Buddha Grove Proposed site of "new city"
Heraclitus Grove Trailer Homes Residential, Magdalena area
Jesus Grove Downtown Rajneeshpuram. Sheela's HQ. In September 1985 renamed Sanai Grove.
Koran Grove Medical Complex. Around 1984, we bought a whole mess of trailers, not for residential use, but used, for work-related use. A lot of them were set up in the City of Rajneesh. And quite a few in the area between Buddhaghosha Bookstore and Mahavira. Those became the "medical complex", when the original Pythagoras trailer became too small for the increasing population of the Ranch. Mohammed Grove were just two trailers, of the kind that were originally bought, for residential use.
Lao Tzu Grove B-site and Townhouses Residential
Magdalena Grove Trailer Homes Residential, cafeteria
Martin Buber Valley Townhouses (for RIMU participants)
Mohammed Grove Trailer Homes Residential (first Bob Harvey, the old ranch foreman, lived there, then the Hollywood Gang, though they moved soon to their own A-frame in Alan Watts), Pythagoras area. Mohammed was also used as a kind of low-level hospital, where people requiring medical isolation or complete short-term rest could stay. Work was such a priority at the Ranch that most injuries and illnesses were not reason enough for "time off"; most people who could not immediately return to their work were given alternative tasks.
Moses Grove Trailer Homes Residential, Pythagoras area
Nirvana Grove Samadhis of Osho's father, Vimalkirti and a few others
Pythagoras the original medical clinic
Sanai Grove see Jesus Grove
Sosan Grove Trailer Homes Residential, Magdalena area
Subhuti Grove Trailer Homes Residential, Pythagoras area
