Talk:Koplen Phir Phoot Aayeen (कोंपलें फिर फूट आईं)
There are now two sources for the discourse dates for Koplen, "Doc X" and the ebook at Osho World. Doc X indicates only a range of dates, Jul 31, 1986 to Aug 9, while OW is much more specific. The last chapter in OW comes after Aug 9. Otherwise they agree, so the OW info will be reproduced below.
About the title, it is said that it derives from a song by Mehdi Hasssan, reportedly one of Osho's favourite singers. It relates to coming back to India. The lines with the title in it go:
- कोंपलें फिर फूट आईं शाख़ पर कहना उसे
- वो न समझा है न समझेगा मगर कहना उसे
- (konpalen phir phoot aayeen, shaakh par, kahnaa use
- woh na samjha hai, na samjhega, magar kahnaa use)
- (Tell her/him fresh buds are sprouting again on the branches.
- S/he has not understood and will not understand, but tell her/him anyway.)
- ("konpalen" being an alternative transliteration of "koplen")

This is some fairly complete and internally consistent info for an ebook and fits well with other info, so it may as well be adopted. We might scratch our heads about poor chapter 4, why it is not in the ebook and when could it have been but since the titles match so well with the other source, not much of a problem. Must have been evening of Aug 2 or morning of Aug 3. -- doofus-9 (talk) 18:50, 13 October 2014 (PDT)
