Twinkies
The Twinkies were the "hostesses" who greeted and oriented visitors and journalists to Rajneeshpuram, showing them around, answering their questions and explaining what Osho and the ranch were all about, to the best of their well-trained ability. The name "Twinkies" was tongue-in-cheek and derives from an iconic American junk food product, Twinkies, made by a company called Hostess Brands, described as "golden sponge cake with a creamy filling".
Twinkies were an all-female team run by Ma Prem Isabel and "anchored" by Ma Deva Jayamala, who maintained the office they worked out of and entertained visitors until one of the others came to take over. They included Ma Prema Veena, Ma Prem Sunshine, Ma Anand Bhagawati, Ma Yoga Punya, Ma Ananda Sarita and a "Rosalie", among others.
