Rajneeshpuram begins in 1981 when spiritual leader Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh traveled from India to the United States. Rajneesh and thousands of his disciples traveled to Wasco and Jefferson Counties in Oregon to the Big Muddy Ranch. They wanted to build a peaceful new city that they called Rajneeshpuram. The desert utopian community hosted gatherings with thousands of people from around the globe.
