This Pune reference page at the Osho site refers to a FAQ.
Some points from there (though, I suggest you read up the FAQ pages directly),
Is there some kind of membership?
No. There is nothing to be a member of, nothing to belong to. You may hear people talk about initiation into "sannyas." This is a completely personal issue. After a lifetime's habit of living as "Mary Jane," taking another name can be a very valuable way of helping to break that habit -- and making a committment to yourself to put meditation at the top of your laundry list!
Do I need to join something?
The only thing to join is yourself. In fact the very idea of "joining something" is completely opposed to what is happening here. Meditation is about learning to be alone. As Osho puts it:
"Aloneness is not only your way to truth, it is everybody's way. It is the only way."
The function of this resort is to support you by creating an environment where there are so many others also learning to be alone, that being "alone together" makes things not just easier, but fun too.
HIV/AIDS Tests are done at the Welcome Center on arrival and the results are back within 15 minutes. A negative result is required for entry.
The new Osho Guesthouse is now open and is the ideal place to stay. You can remain on campus, close to all the activities without having to deal with rickshaws and traffic. Alternatively, you can rent an apartment near by. The Welcome Center has information about this, which you can sort out when you arrive.
The meditation pass covers entry to the campus from 5:30 am till late at night, plus all the meditations in OSHO Auditorium, the OSHO Teerth Garden and the nightlife.
Entry and full-day meditation pass 700 rupees.
The cost is 300 rupees for resident Indian nationals.
PS: If you are new to Osho, skim through the Wikipedia page too.
