Talk:Jhuk Aayee Badariya Sawan Ki (झुक आयी बदरिया सावन की) (abridged)
Besides the different content, we can also note a different subtitle in this abridged edition. The other subtitle -- Meera Diwani Par Charcha Suhani (मीरा दीवानी पर चर्चा सुहानी) -- though known before this one, actually came after this one chronologically. Possibly OMI / OIF thought it an improvement, or perhaps a correction, since we don't have any info about the Rajneesh Foundation edition of the 70's (if it existed).
And, noting the copyright on this six-talk collection, "Rajneeshdham", we might also reflect on the possible relative "independence" of this group, in the sense that a group with this name was operating in Pune quasi-independently during the Ranch and World Tour. Thus, their publishing decisions, as for example this odd edition, may have been somewhat idiosyncratic.
Without further ado, a comparison of TOC's:

and this one, with page numbers

The themes are similar enough but there is no title in common or even resonating anywhere between these two editions save that the 6th is more or less the same. We could assume this chapter in the abridged version is full-length, but there would be no solid basis for such an assumption, as we don't know the chapter length.
While we are here, the estimate of ~80 pages for the whole book is based on an assumption of a short ch 6, which also may be unwarranted. Chapters were trending shorter, but so what? Further research is needed. -- doofus-9 21:15, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
