In 1974 Rajneesh relocated to Pune where a foundation and ashram was established to offer a variety of "transformational tools" for both Indian and international visitors. In 1970 Rajneesh spent time in Bombay initiating followers known as "neo-sannyasins." During this period he expanded his spiritual teachings and through his discourses gave an original insight into the writings of religious traditions, mystics, and philosophers from around the world. He advocated a more open attitude towards human sexuality, earning him the sobriquet "sex guru" in the Indian and later international press, although this attitude became more acceptable with time. In the 1960s he travelled throughout India as a public speaker and was a vocal critic of socialism,Mahatma Gandhi, and Hindu religious orthodoxy. During his lifetime he was viewed as a controversialmystic, guru, and spiritual teacher. Osho (11 December 1931 – 19 January 1990), also known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, Acharya Rajneesh, and Chandra Mohan Jain, was an Indian and leader of the Rajneesh movement.
