Talk:Phir Amrit Ki Boond Padi (फिर अमरित की बूंद पड़ी) (11 talks)
This book, Amrit for short, is one of three Hindi books arising from the World Tour. The other two are Koplen Phir Phoot Aayeen (कोंपलें फिर फूट आईं) and Phir Patto Ki Panjeba Baji (फिर पत्तो की पांजेबा बजी). All three titles have the word "Phir," meaning among other things, "again," a small but potentially significant element linking them all thematically. This is evident also in the subtitles, variations of "rediscovering forgotten treasure," of The Diamond Sword, a translation of Amrit and Koplen. All the Phir books were published by "Rajanisadhama Prakasana," apparently a "house" publisher operating only during the Ranch and World Tour times and extending into 1987 (finishing projects?)
Since the first writing of this page, two more editions have turned up, but both "house" editions and not picked up much by online booksellers. In fact, their ISBNs, ISBN 978-81-8393-245-5 for the "Sadhana" edition and ISBN 9788172612528 for OMI, are found in only one place each online. (In addition, they both have transliteration differences that interfere with finding them easily, Pari and Padhi for the last word.)
The e-book version of Amrit found at Osho World has some dates and places embedded in it, seemingly coming at the end of chapters, though there is no real spacing, highlighting, different fonts, chapter titles or numbers etc to solidify that. Nonetheless, tantalizing info, never mind that there are too many dates and places for the supposed number of discourses, plus a potentially problematic overlap with Koplen. The dates and places fwiw are:
Jul 31, 1986, Sumila, Juhu, Bombay, found on p 20 of 169 Aug 2, 1986, Sumila, Juhu, Bombay, found on p 53 Aug 4, 1986, Sumila, Juhu, Bombay, found on p 66 Aug 6, 1986, Sumila, Juhu, Bombay, found on p 84 Aug 10, 1986, Sumila, Juhu, Bombay, found on p 99 Nov 20, 1985, Kullu Manali, found on p 118 Nov 23, 1985, Kullu Manali, found on p 129 Nov 24, 1985, Kullu Manali, found on p 140 Nov 25, 1985, Kullu Manali, found on p 153 Nov 28, 1985, Kullu Manali, found on p 169
The overlap dates/places with Koplen are those at Sumila. It has twelve discourses fit into the ten days from Jul 31 to Aug 9. It is not impossible that Amrit fits in there too. There is room, with only six Last Testament discourses in the ten days. But it may not be so likely, especially that there are two overlapping series that are relatively similar thematically.
Another explanation that may have some validity is this: There are only five audios for Amrit. Those could be the ones in Manali. Another source has said that both Amrit and Phir Patto are translations, not even original Hindi. That would seem to be untrue in the case of Amrit, given the Hindi audio, but how about the chapters supposedly at Sumila? Could they be translations? This would perhaps make the inconsistent "facts" fit together a little better, and make a crooked kind of sense, except that the dates given for the Last Testament, Jul 31, Aug 1, 6, 7, 8, and 9, don't match up with Amrit's dates.
What seems the likeliest possibility now, since the emergence of OMI's relatively real published book of 99 pages and five chapters (TOC below), considered with the presence of The Diamond Sword, a translation/compilation of Amrit and Koplen, is that this e-book was a part or spin-off of that project. But other ideas are also welcome. -- Sarlo (talk) 09:47, 11 June 2014 (PDT)
