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:
from the ten-talk edition:

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 in each. 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. An implication of all these different titles is that the book could be thought of as a compilation. Source text may be only from the original Jhuk Aayee but it could be very altered.
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)
Shailendra reports that this short book's chapters derive from both Meera books, thusly:
- 1- Complete First Discourse of PGB Dated 01.10.1977
- 2- Part of Second Discourse of PGB Dated 02.10.1977
- 3- Part of Fourth Discourse of PGB Dated 04.10.1977
- 4- Part of 12th Discourse of PGB Dated 12.11.1977
- 5- Part of 14th Discourse of PGB Dated 14.11.1977
- 6- Part of 16th Discourse of PGB Dated 16.11.1977
- Note - Last five chapters are small portions of the discourses to keep the size of booklet small, for making it available at a cheap price. Only the first one is a full discourse.
PGB here is of course Pad Ghunghru Bandh, the über-title for the two Meera series, with the first three talks from Maine Ram Ratan Dhan Payo (मैंने राम रतन धन पायो) and the last three from Jhuk.
And regarding keeping the booklet small, for making it available at a cheap price, Jhuk is similar to a few other smaller Hindi compilations published on an experimental basis in 1988 by Rebel. A striking feature of some of these books was using the same picture of Osho on the cover. More on all this at Talk:Mahaveer-Vani (महावीर-वाणी) (mini-compilation). -- doofus-9 04:48, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
Note also that the above new and relatively complete info on this mini-compilation renders obsolete much of what was said earlier, including the "relative independence" of the publisher Rajneeshdham and the omission of Maine Ram. -- doofus-9 22:47, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
I would suggest to rename the book: "(abridged)" --> "(compilation)". Because it compiled entirely not from JABSK 10's talks.--DhyanAntar 03:26, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
