- notes
- About bookchapters 8 and 9: in Dynamics of Meditation (1973) these are two chapters, which have the exact same header: "Text of an interview with Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh by Ma Yoga Maitri of Tokyo, Neo-Sannyas International President for Japan, On November 10, 1970, Bombay, India."
- Ch.8 is titled: "Enlightenment and the Symbols of Kundalini Yoga", it has 14 questions.
- Ch.9 is titled: "Polarities of Life Force in the Seven Bodies", it has only one question with a long answer. From the subject of the question and the answer, it seems a continuation of ch.8.
- See Talk:Dynamics of Meditation#Ch. 8 and 9 one event?. Therefore, these two chapters have been classified as one event.
