Summary

From heading an ashram at Rajneeshpuram, Oregon, USA, in the 1980s to allegedly spearheading what is known as the largest bioterror attack in American history and spending 39 months in prison, Ma Anand Sheela's life is one that fascinates and intrigues.

But who is the woman beyond the persona of the commune leader? What is Sheela like behind the sensational "tough titties" avatar?

Manbeena Sandhu followed the Osho movement for two decades before her journey finally led her to Sheela. Nothing to Lose is a no-holds-barred account of Sheela's life, her intense relationship with Bhagwan, and the riveting story of what actually happened behind the closed doors of the cult's ashram.

Beautiful

Many have fallen in love with this beautiful and wonderful wonderful woman. I too have fallen in love with her. If she is seen as a villian, she is also a victim. She was a loyal disciple to Osho, as well as priestess. I believe there are many who have wonderful spiritual messages of love, but also get corrupted by power. This book finishes with someone channeling their skills, knowledge and experience into helping those with special needs
