Introduction

Jyoti Shikha and Yukrand were two magazines published by Osho's people in the late 60s and early 70s to help Osho's work. Mainly they published his words but part of their brief was informing their readers about his upcoming visits to wherever around India, mainly in the north and middle, but occasionally as far south as Madras (Chennai) and east to Calcutta (Kolkata). Sw Satya Anuragi has sent images of relevant pages with info on lots of previously unknown dates to fill in some of the gaps in the Timeline.

Note that occasionally dates may be slightly out of line with previously known events, for example, the camp at Matheran in Mar 1969 is missing the opening night. Most such cases will be deemed as errors, subsequent changes or missing info, but some may lead to corrections. And scheduled events were not infrequently cancelled, never quite becoming actual events.

Some of the places that Osho visited in those days will be unfamiliar to most Western readers. Some were so small that the phone numbers given for contact people had only two digits. (Jabalpur in those days had four-digit phone numbers by way of comparison, Pune five and Mumbai and Delhi six.)

Images for now are not sourced, since the dates are clear enough without that. Chronological order prevails. As some events appear in more than one notice, sometimes with different info, each source image will be noted for each event. "JJK" = Jeevan Jagriti Kendra, Osho's earliest org, with active members in many cities around India. Thumbnails of the source images appear in the gallery at page bottom.

After mid-1971 or so, posted itineraries become sparser, with events spaced further apart. It is actually surprising that they do not become so earlier than that, given the abrupt shift in Osho's touring that happened after the Hindu chauvinist disturbance in Ludhiana in Aug 1970 (see Naye Samaj Ki Khoj ~ 10 for an account of that).

The gap that arose from the near-cessation of touring appears to have been filled by lots of letter-writing, and the arrival of Westerners led to "interviews" and English discourses, plus people taking sannyas as they come to see Osho in Mumbai. The English discourses are not many at first but we have major series of English discourses starting in Feb 1972 with The Ultimate Alchemy, Vol 1. English talks do not get announced in these magazines, so this is another reason for the itineraries' sparseness. What does get announced is almost all long-running multi-volume mega-series plus camps, which are longer than the three-day affairs they mostly were previously.

In any case, notices of upcoming events found in magazines after mid-1971 do not contain any new info, and so they have not been presented here, except for a few samples: an ad-like "Notice" format, a "typical" itinerary, and one in a more "newsy" format.

13-15 Oct Navsari (GJ) Satsang Jayantilal Baadsha, Navsari Jul 20 - Nov 30
Clearly the two events above don't work together. Two contributing factors tip the balance toward Pune: There are already two events in Pune on Oct 12 in the Timeline, including an evening event, making it a scramble to get to Navsari for the 13th. And the Pune posting is the more recent of the two, suggesting a more realistic view. The question arises: Did the Oct 12 events replace the 13-15 ones, did they all happen, or maybe a bit of both?

Fitting Pune -- or Navsari! -- in with Amritsar below may also be problematic, unless flying, or Oct 15 cancelled. Or Amritsar cancelled. Its contact info is somewhat vague, and getting from there to Gadarwara will also be problematic. Whatever!

Osho's Appointment Diary 1967-1970 (translated source document): according to the source Poona was on 16-18 Oct; place is unclear for 13-15 Oct. As Poona was later then Navsari could happen.

The first two dates (30, 31 Dec 68) are mistakenly labelled as 30, 31 Feb. Feb doesn't have 30, 31 and next date is 1-2-3 Jan 1969 so it is clearly 30,31 Dec. Perhaps they were cancelled as not mentioned in Osho's Appointment Diary 1967-1970 (translated source document), although some events are skipped in that source.

No "event type" is given for this event in the Aug-Oct itinerary. "Pravas" just means "travel", and when you get down to it, so does "yatra", though with a pilgrimage flavour. So possibly no particular program had been decided yet. "In the event", it became a camp with talks on Mahaveer, and the side-trip to Manali didn't happen.
