the 2019 "cover"


Osho Source Book is a unique approach to books about Osho, and it is a work in progress. It is a "bio-bibliography", about both him 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 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.
