Talk:Es Dhammo Sanantano, Bhag 5 (एस धम्मो सनंतनो, भाग 5) (6 volume set)

Comparison -- i know, don't compare! -- between the cover images of this vol and Vol 6 shows that the covers both fit into a kind of format but were fairly free to have differences as well, beyond just changing the numbers. But beyond that, it may be that neither of these images is completely intact. That of Vol 6 is sort of frayed at the bottom, and Vol 5's image may be missing its top. Oh well.

The other concern here may be that marrying these covers with the phantom Rajneesh Foundation editions may be a stretch, as a stylized Devanagari Osho (ओशो, here done as ओ शो), appears on both covers and it seems unlikely that Rajneesh Foundation would not have disappeared and been replaced when Osho changed his name. Rebel was already around, so that would have been easy. -- Sarlo (talk) 22:22, 28 March 2014 (PDT)

Sep 2017 update

Discussion above is about this image on the right and the appropriateness of connecting it with any Rajneesh Foundation edition of this book. Not possible, really. And now that we have scans of the cover and info pages for the real RF edition of Bhag 6, we finally get to see for ourselves. And with Bhag 6, the last of the set, published in 1979, pub dates for the others will be even earlier. So this above right is some kind of Rebel or equivalent edition, late 1989 at the earliest, as attested to by the stylized "Osho" in Devanagari.

One thing more about the earlier discussion: It is evident that there are differences in the design format between Bhag 5 and Bhag 6, but this will not extend to the volumes being different sizes, and it can be seen that the proportions for these two tomes are quite different, this one having a proportion of 4:5 width to height and Bhag 6 3:5, another solid indicator that Bhag 5's cover image is missing its top. -- doofus-9 06:08, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
