Mera Swarnim Bharat (मेरा स्वर्णिम भारत): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 06:13, 12 August 2019

notes: Title translates as "My Golden India", and this compilation fulfills much the same purpose as India My Love does in English, ie singing the praises of India as the center of the seeker's universe, and not necessarily as a geographical entity. But it is not all "positive", being rather like a portrait of a beloved eccentric uncle, with all his foibles lovingly appreciated.

This book also has different sources from Bharat Ek Sanatan Yatra (भारत एक सनातन यात्रा), a similarly themed book. All the chapters are said to consist of single long excerpts, in some cases whole discourses, from mainly Q&A books in late Pune One. The "first appendix" is a translation of the first question of The Osho Upanishad, ch 21 and the "second appendix" is an article about Osho written by Rajendra Anuragi, a poet and Osho's childhood friend.

See discussion for more on the chapters and sources.

Later published as five separate books:

ch.1-9 - as Upanishad: Shunya Sanvad (उपनिषद : शून्य संवाद);
ch.10-17 - as Ekmatra Upay: Jago (एकमात्र उपाय : जागो);
ch.18-25 - as Kranti-Sutra: Sakshi Bhav (क्रान्ति-सूत्र : साक्षी भाव);
ch.26-33 - as Ik Saadhe Sab Sadhai (इक साधे सब सधै) and Ek Saadhe Sab Sadhe (एक साधे सब सधे)
ch.34-40 and App.1 - as Bharat: Ek Anuthi Sampada (भारत : एक अनूठी सम्पदा).
