I gave my money to one other organization before I knew about Osho.
It was just 5000 SF 1977,  
for sidhi course(and I was interested specialy for 'flying' siddhi) organized by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi .
(He was also on your spiritual Path.)
this was much money for me living and working in Yugoslavia this time.
I can laugh now and I don't regrett for this experience.
I feel cheated but not bitter.
