Drops ‘Bhagwan’

He stops using the name ‘Bhagwan’, retaining only the name Rajneesh. However, his disciples ask to call him ‘Osho Rajneesh’ and he accepts this form of address. He explains that ‘Osho’ is derived from William James’ word ‘oceanic’ which means dissolving into the ocean. Oceanic describes the experience, he says, but what about the experiencer? For that we use the word ‘Osho’.
