book naming convention
The listed name for the book should be changed from 'Yoga As a Spontaneous Happening' to 'Yoga As Spontaneous Happening' (note without the letter 'a' between As and Spontaneous). Swamisitar (talk) 04:44, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
Indeed on the cover the name is Yoga As Spontaneous Happening. But inside, both on the title-page and directly above the start of the text, the title is YOGA As A Spontaneous Happening. (From a photocopy.)
- At the back of some old books there is "Available English Books" where the book is listed as "Yoga : A Spontaneous Happening". This can be found in the 1972 Beyond and Beyond, in the 1973 Dynamics of Meditation, and in the 1973 The Inward Revolution.
- The 1972 Seeds of Revolution lists "Yoga as spontaneous happening".
- The 1974 Flowers of Love lists "Yoga as a spontaneous happening".
- In three official book lists that I receiveid in 1990 - 1991 in the commune, the book is listed with "a". These were printed from a computer-database.
- Chapter 3 of The Silent Explosion has a different title, but chapter 3 of The Great Challenge is "Yoga: a spontaneous happening".
- The Osho Source Book lists the book both with and without "a".
- Omitting the "a" is not correct English.
My conclusion is that the omission of the "a" on the cover was an error, and I propose to keep the title in the Wiki with "a". --Sugit (talk) 09:41, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
well, i have to agree with Sitar. this is a bibliography after all and THIS book is clearly titled Yoga As Spontaneous Happening even if it's bad English. --Rudra (talk) 16:53, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
