>Some of the books by Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
use the pseudonym "Osho".  I don't know what
it means, either.  Maybe it has something to
do with accumulating one Rolls Royce for each
day of the year....

It means that one day he decided (much like Prince) he did not want to be called his former name and picked Osho.
 
>From Wikipedia:
 
"In late December 1988 he said he no longer wished to be referred to as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, and shortly afterwards took the name Osho"
 
Apparently (according to Wikipedia) Osho had an exact date for when he became enlightened: March 21, 1953.
 
The Wikipedia article makes for interesting reading. And who said snake oil doesn't sell well??
