Talk:From Medication to Meditation

From The Sannyas Wiki

The foreword consists of a translated Hindi talk, published here for the first time. This has been referenced in the Osho Source Book as held on Aug 31, 1970, Ahmedabad. The date seems questionable, looking at Osho's travels in those days. --Sugit (talk) 08:18, 19 January 2016 (UTC)


It may not be so out of line. Osho was traveling a lot in 68-70. In Aug 70 there were two camps in Gujarat immediately preceding that date and Aug 31 would still give him plenty of time to be back in Mumbai for an evg talk beginning the Mahavir talks Jyon Ki Tyon. There is very little info on those GJ camps (Baroda and Ajol) but Gyan Bhed refers at least to the Baroda camp as very shortly after Ludhiana. And then why not throw in Ajol, handy, and where Madhu, her husband and other enthusiastic soon-to-become sannyasins were living.

What may be suspicious is the supposed "Early Dialogues" interview in Mumbai on the 26th. Source for that is the CD-ROM, but it is not infallible. -- doofus-9 20:20, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

To add to this, just came across a reference in OSB to Osho flying after a camp in Junagadh to Mumbai (Dec 13, 1969) to hang with friends there before going to Gadarwara for a program then Dec 16 by train to Jabalpur. Lots of travel in those days, and flying was already among the options. -- doofus-9 17:15, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
And we now have input from Ageh Bharti about the Ajol camp immediately preceding this Ahmedabad talk to the docs. He talks specifically about being asked by Osho to attend this meeting in Ahmedabad the same day as the Ajol camp is ending. See Talk:Meditation Camps for details. -- doofus-9 07:32, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
