For example, Buddha's commune still continues -- not with the same purity, much garbage has entered into it. It is no more the same crystal- clear water that you can see at Gangotri where the Ganges is born. Now the Buddha's commune is like the Ganges near Varanasi -- dirty, dead bodies floating in it, all kinds of garbage being poured into it. But still it is alive. Many have completely disappeared. "

Poster for this video
still 00m 57s.
Shortly before Osho moved to the USA, the commune in Poona produced this documentary about life in the Poona commune.
The video starts with a quote of Osho:
”We are on the threshold of something new that is going to happen to humanity… By the end of this century a critical quantum leap is possible. Either man will die in a third World War or man will take the jump and will become a new man. Before that happens, a great Buddhafield is needed where we can create the future.”
A description by Osho Film Festival:
In 1980, five years after the film "Bhagwan 1975" the ashram presented itself in an entirely different way. Now western Sannyasins dominated the scenery, visitors were coming in their thousands and Osho was already being driven in a Mercedes Benz.
The commune was now being professionally managed and included facilities like a bookshop, a carpentry workshop, a medical unit and a huge canteen. In the newly erected Buddha Auditorium Osho gave his breathtaking discourses to an assembly of a few thousands Sannyasins and the gathered world press. A few days later these discourses would be printed and distributed as books or audio tapes around the world.
The ashram had become the largest and most important spiritual growth centre in the world. More than a dozen therapy groups from Zen to Encounter and Tarot reading were held daily in the sound proof therapy chambers.
Due to the enormous interest of the world press, more and more people found their way to the ashram, which by now was far too small, even though it had grown to several times its original size. At this point no one could imagine that Osho would soon create something very much bigger.
But this would no longer be in India, the story would continue in Oregon, USA. This is the last extensive documentation of the ashram before Osho left India for the US.
Mentioned in the Chidvilas video list as "VC135, 49mins $120.00" :
"Bhagwan’s vision of how people of every race, religion, background and country can live together and work to their ultimate potential."
