Being a mother put me at a disadvantage for ashram living
Jeanette Krohn lived on multiple communes in the 70s and 80s as a follower of the Indian guru Osho.
Parents were seen as sub-class members; achieving enlightenment was more important than raising kids, she said.
“When I found out I was pregnant with my third child, I was encouraged by one of the ashram doctors to have an abortion, but I decided to ask Osho for his blessing. Instead of responding, he sent three women from his inner circle to reprimand me.”
“I knew some girls as young as 14 who were sterilized in the ashram hospital.”
