The main item here is the merger of Suno with Kasturi Kundal Basai (कस्तूरी कुंडल बसै). Other publishing details follow.

Discourses for Suno were indeed given as a series of ten talks from Nov 11 to 20, 1974. But Indian audio sites all offer it as a twenty-discourse series. Osho World offers no more info than that, Message From Saints calls its offering Suno Bhai Sadho (Kabir) aka Kasturi Kundal Basai, while Tao Vision is the clearest, as it is with most multi-title series, by indicating two ten-discourse series, one called Suno Bhai Sadho (Suno Bhai Sadho), the other Suno Bhai Sadho (Kasturi Kundal Basai). Talks for Kasturi were given Mar 11 to 20, 1975, not that far away, but even at that, there was another Kabir Hindi series between them, which had its own merger with a series from 1977. Some impressive weaving going on!

About the editions, the first one of Suno, in 1976, seems to have been purely Suno, with nothing added. The 2001 edition, with suddenly many more pages, seems to have adopted Kasturi, but it's not mentioned in info about the book. Perhaps it's clear in the book itself. The subtitle is something else again, unrelated and unhelpful.

That subtitle appears to appear also on the cover of the 2003 edition. Hard to tell, since the image is so low-res but it's the only one available. Its ISBN 8176210939 has two numbers switched and doesn't work and there's no other info. Strange for a supposedly more recent edition. Perhaps it was never really an edition, just an image created, say for mp3 sales?

About the first (1976) edition, its subtitle was surely in Hindi, so i took the liberty of moving its English descriptive text into "Notes" for the book in general. -- Sarlo (talk) 23:11, 4 May 2014 (PDT)
