Despite bringing the impressionable teens the reading material, according to the news site, it was Miley Cyrus who first showed them the teachings of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, also known as Osho. After being exposed to such literature, the impressionable teens have since then taken a liking to the philosophy of the cult leader.
According further to Perez Hilton, the cult is called the "Orgonite Society." One source close to the teens speculates about the teens' affinity to the guru's teaching by saying:
"Because they are vulnerable and looking for something to believe in, they find the cult's ideals intriguing."
Apparently, it is Jaden and Willow who are more engrossed in the cult teachings. The source says that: "Jaden has really dived headfirst into this radical movement. He thinks he is a 'philosopher' and Willow is just as into it."
Osho, the philosopher who has gained a huge international following, is known to have radical teachings. The guru maintains a free and open minded stance when it comes to sex-thereby dubbing him as a sex guru.
Other controversial teachings of the guru include his bigoted stance against homosexuality, claiming that such people are not even human beings.

To quote Will Smith in Men In Black - "This ranks about a 9 out of 10 on my weird shit-o-meter".

As for "Orgonite" that is something that dim bulbs have been buying since the 1960s - does the name Wilhelm Reich ring a bell?
