:The ''Osho Source Book'' has a unique approach, and it is a work in progress. It is a "bio-bibliography", about both Osho and his books, including not only the hundreds he "authored" but taking a good look at the thousands he read too. In the course of his 25-year pilgrimage, the author, [[Sw Anand Neeten]], spent countless hours in Osho's library and interviewed hundreds of sannyasins and others associated with Osho's work and visited places all over North India to see source documents.

In the course of his 25-year pilgrimage, the author, [[Sw Anand Neeten]], spent countless hours in Osho's library and interviewed hundreds of sannyasins and others associated with Osho's work and visited places all over North India to see source documents. And -- a daunting mega-project in itself -- he read and digested all the literature, all the books for and against that had been written about Osho.  


:In May 2014, Neeten uploaded its first Volume as an "author's uncut version" to make available to the public the part on the up-till-then least documented period of Osho's life and work, before he moved to Pune in 1974.

:The enthusiastic reception he got for this pilot project encouraged him to do the same with ''OSB's'' 2nd and 3rd Volumes, which he uploaded five years later.

:This "author's uncut version" is readable and immensely enjoyable, but still unfinished, so there is some repetition and a bit of chaos. As of Oct 2019, the work of organizing, collating and boiling down the raw data is still ongoing. News of a "final" hard-copy version will appear here when it's ready, but meanwhile, it's all at the link below.

A bio-bibliography


Of all the books about Osho, the Osho Source Book is certainly the most hefty, the most systematic and -- if such a thing is possible -- the most objective.
Where this Wiki can be seen as a timeline and a database, the OSB narrates a story. The story of Osho's life as a book-lover, a writer of letters, a public speaker, and an influencer.
Then, especially in Volume II, the OSB quotes hundreds of books by other authors, describing how they met, experienced and were touched by Osho.
The Osho Source Book has a unique approach, and it is a work in progress. It is a "bio-bibliography", about both Osho and his books, including not only the hundreds he "authored" but taking a good look at the thousands he read too. In the course of his 25-year pilgrimage, the author, Sw Anand Neeten, spent countless hours in Osho's library and interviewed hundreds of sannyasins and others associated with Osho's work and visited places all over North India to see source documents. And -- a daunting mega-project in itself -- he read and digested all the literature, all the books for and against that had been written about Osho.
In May 2014, Neeten uploaded OSB's first Volume as an "author's uncut version" to make available to the public the part on the up-till-then least documented period of Osho's life and work, before he moved to Pune in 1974.
The enthusiastic reception he got for this pilot project encouraged him to do the same with OSB's 2nd and 3rd Volumes, which he uploaded five years later.
This "author's uncut version" is still unfinished as of Oct 2019; the work of organizing, collating and boiling down the raw data is ongoing. It's all at the link below, eminently readable and immensely enjoyable.

notes
See the table of contents for an impression of the magnitude and scope.
Searching: we found that a good way to search in this gigantic source is to use a search-engine.
E.g. on Windows do: <Shift+Ctlr+click> here to search for "vivek" ...
choose a hit, i.e. one of the long pages of OSB ...
then on that page use <Ctrl+f> to search again for "vivek".
Do <Enter> to see all instances of that word.
