Mahaveer-Vani, Bhag 1 (महावीर-वाणी, भाग 1) ver 1.5

This book and its companion vol, Mahavir Vani, Bhag 2 (महावीर वाणी, भाग 2) ver 1.5, are not the original format in which Osho's three Mahavir Vani series were published. The talks for all the Mahavir Vani volumes were given at Patkar Hall in Mumbai, in three successive years at the time of Paryushan, a big Jain festival, in the early 70's. All three discourse series were apparently published as 18-chapter books in 1976 and 1977.

In 1988, they were re-grouped into two volumes of 27 discourses each, and seem to have been re-published in that format ever since. Thus, this volume contains the 18 talks given from Aug 18 to Sep 4, 1971 and first published as Mahavir Vani, Bhag 1 (महावीर वाणी, भाग 1), plus the first nine talks of Mahavir Vani, Bhag 2 (महावीर वाणी, भाग 2), given Sep 4-12, 1972. See those two volumes for more info.
