Talk:Dariya Kahai Sabda Nirbana (दरिया कहै सब्द निरबाना)
To start with, no traces of a published hard-copy book could be found on the net in the course of compiling info on this book, aside from the old version of the wiki's page for Dariya Kahe. Which was saved and reproduced but it is so sketchy that it may not be supportable. The book in fact may never have been published. Not even an e-book version could be found, only audio.
All the Indian audio sites say there are only nine discourses in this series, though the time span is of course eleven days. What happened? There is an interesting source for an answer, an unauthorized translation of the book into English, squirreled away here. The translator gives dates and times for each discourse, ostensibly eleven discourses, but when you navigate to Discourse 4 & 5 you get a short poetic description of Osho not coming on those two days. It is not known whether this is a translation of a hard-copy or the translator's own experience.
A note on transliteration: A number of possible variations exist for the Latin alphabet rendition of this title, including Kahae, Kahai, Shabad, Shabda, Shabd and Nirbana, in many combinations. Such variety is not off-the scale unusual, just a little extreme, but it is complicated by not having a Devanagari rendition to correlate with, as no site could be found with a DN version. Oh well. The version chosen reflects commonest usage among Osho-related sites. Shabad and Shabd are used extensively by Sant Mat sites (crypto-Sikh offshoots) who have adopted Dariya as one of their own.
About the title, it apparently comes from a long poem, gone into at length on the santdariya.org site, two lines of which are:
- Dariya kahe sabad nirvana,
- Abari kaho nahi ved bakhana.
- which they translate as "Dariya speaks the words of Nirvana. He speaks something else not the repetitions of what we find in different scriptures."
