DESCRIPTION:Vortrag von Prof. Dr. Martin Papenheim (CERES) in englischer S
 prache:\n\nBhagwan's Neo-Sannyas movement entered Germany in 1972. Even th
 ough Hippies\, dropouts and artists were its first members\, by the end of
  the 1970s the movement had become the biggest "cult" in Germany with a la
 rge middle class membership. Depending on the source\, the numbers vary fr
 om 20\,000 to 50\,000 members. This discrepancy reflects the complex and f
 luid character of the movement with both well-organized communes as well h
 ighly informal membership.\n\nThe public discourse in the late 1970s and 1
 980s focused on the concepts of "sect" and "gross endangerment of minors".
  Thus\, the contemporary debate highly underestimated this west-eastern hy
 brid group's capacity to destabilize German/Christian religious sub-system
 . The Neo-Sannyas movement was a post-religion. In that it had inherited t
 he questions religions typically ask. But instead of answering them\, Bhag
 wan's teachings  demanded a constant query of the Self. The movement  co
 mbined traditional elements of institution and cult with new forms of orga
 nization and practice. Most importantly it re-organized the societal diffe
 rentiation of the religious by (re-)implementing religious elements into o
 ther sub-systems especially health and economy\, but also into media and a
 rt.\n
