Study says Rajneeshees sought growth
By Stacy Friedman
Emerald Contributor
Disillusionment with the at
tractive notion of economic suc
cess and a lack of positive
parental role models were two
of the reasons most women
decided to become Bhagwan
Shree Rajneesh followers, ac
cording to Marion Goldman, a
University associate sociology
professor.
Goldman delivered a speech.
•‘The Women of Raj
neeshpuram: Gender, Achieve
ment and Ambivalence,” to
about 75 people in the EMU
Gumwood Room on Wednesday
night.
Women comprised 54 percent
of the Rajneesh population in
the five years the sannyasins
(disciples of the Bhagwan) oc
cupied Big Muddy Ranch near
Antelope. During a time of over
whelming media coverage of
the commune. She conducted a
study to understand the motiva
tion of women who left high
paying jobs and financial
security to pursue more
spiritual and intangible goals.
For her study, Goldman ex
tensively interviewed 11
women and 14 men between
1984 and 1985. after the
Bhagwan had left the United
States. Although the study
focused on women (she later
will conduct a similar study on
men). Goldman found that
almost everyone interviewed
"valued the collective purpose,
friendship and opportunities for
their own spiritual growth.”
she said.
However, this was not the im
age of the commune the media
provided. Goldman said.
Two of the most common opi
nions espoused by the press
were that the Bhagwan's
followers were going through a
“lifestage,” or that the san
nyasins. particularly the
women, had been brainwashed
and duped by the original oc
cupants of Rajneeshpuram.
Goldman said women were
motivated to join the comune by
a lack of encouragement from
their parents to go out in the
Correction
The Oregon Daily fcmerald
incorrectly reported Tuesday
that the Athletic Department
would make all reserve foot
ball tickets available to
students for $7.50.
Reserve ticket prices will
be lowered to $7.50 only if
all student tickets are
unavailable, all general ad
mission tickets are sum oui
at the time of kickoff (or a
time thereabouts to be
specified in the contract) and
reserve tickets remain to be
sold.
The Emerald apologizes
for any confusion that might
have occurred as a result.

world and achieve the same
goals as men.
While the financial rewards
and prestige were pleasing, the
women did not feel loved or
cared for, Goldman said. In the
commune where many women
"fell in love" with the
Bhagwan, subjects said they felt
completely loved and accepted,
she said.
In fact, characteristics of
women that may be stifled in
other religious movements were
the heart and soul of Raj
neeshpuram, she added.
"Certain feminine attributes,
such as sensitivity and in
tuitiveness. that have tradi
tionally been associated with
femininity were highly valued
at Rajneeshpuram,” Goldman
said.
Goldman's speech was the
fourth part in a series of lectures
sponsored by the Center for the
Study of Women in Society.
