Talk:Bhavna Ke Bhojpatron Par Osho (भावना के भोजपत्रों पर ओशो)
The Diamond 2002 edition is all we have so far of this book. And that may be all there ever has been. The production standards of the first pages (before p 60) are so different from the last pages (after p 60), it is hard to imagine a preceding "house" edition that Diamond just reproduced whole (more or less), as they have done with most of their Osho books.
It is worth considering that this is a Diamond-only edition, that there is no preceding JJK, RF or Rebel edition. Other indications of that besides the odd production standards are the name on the title page, which is not Osho but "Vikal Gautam". Vikal Gautam also writes a long introduction, after Keerti's short introduction, then come 48 pages of crowded, cramped text, which quotes Osho liberally but is not all him or his letters. So it could easily be a personal initiative of this Vikal Gautam. Only a good reading by a real Hindi speaker will be able to sort out this first section, especially the part before p 25.
Below are two tables, one for the first pages <60, the other for the rest of the book, showing which dates of letters are found on which pages of that book, based on scans of the book. -- doofus-9 05:13, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
Earlier pages
Table entries indicate where passages END, ie where Osho's signature or equivalent appears, with or without a date. ** = Likely too long to be one single letter, whether dated or not. Note also that information between letter content such as dates, location or signature, especially in the earlier pages, may be ambiguous as to which letter it applies to, as there may be no demarcating lines or spacing. Therefore, mistakes may be made. Links will be provided eventually to wiki images of letters, if and when.
