BOMBAY, India — An irritated Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, the self-described “rich man’s guru” who was expelled from the United States last year, returned to his homeland today after being denied permanent residence in half a dozen other countries.
Rajneesh arrived from Portugal on a private plane and was questioned by Indian customs officials for almost two hours before he was granted an entry permit.
