[edit] Sannyassin vs Sanyasa

If I am not mistaken, the term Sannyassin was around a long time before Rajneesh brought it to the west. The Sannyassin should then redirect here. Sfacets 01:37, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unnecessary content

Orthodox Hindus do not generally accept the claims of the followers of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh / Osho to be sannyasins, and often even find this claim insulting. Though Rajneesh took pains to distinguish his sannyasins from the traditionals, and called them neo-sannyasins, in practice that prefix is rarely used. The result is more like the co-optation of the name than a claim.

Rajneesh is not a hindu in the first place - he follows a mix of hindu, zen buddhist and jain views and traditions coupled with his own. Therefore it is not just "orthodox hindus" but technically they do not fall into the category of hindu sanyasa
