My Life in Orange by Tim Guest
In 1981, Tim Guest was taken by his mother to a commune in Suffolk. It was modelled on the teachings of the famous Indian 'guru', Bhagwan, who preached a doctrine of Eastern mysticism, chaotic therapy and sexual freedom. This is the story of a little boy alone in a house full of orange people.
Imagine growing up with 200 mothers and 200 fathersWhat would it be like to live in a commune with daily chants, meditation and muesli on the menu? In 1981 Tim Guest was taken by his mother to a commune in a small village in Suffolk, modelled on the teachings of guru Bhagwan, who preached an eclectic doctrine of Eastern mysticism, chaotic therapy and sexual freedom. He spent the rest of his childhood in Bhagwan's various communes in England and abroad. While his mother meditated and chanted, Guest lived a life of unsupervised freedom, occasionally catching glimpses of the strange behaviour of the adults around him. Written in unsentimental prose, this is the funny, and sometimes poignant, story of a little boy alone in a house full of orange people.
Tim Guest writes for the Guardian and Daily Telegraph. He lives in London.
