General

Regarding the source of the pdf: it has come to the wiki via Anuragi, to whom it was offered by a Gujarati friend. But there the source tracing ends; the friend did not create it and cannot remember how and when it came into his possession.

Titles of items in the list can be whole series or, at times, single discourses, with date ranges (from X to Y) and number of discourses. Titles are transliterated and sometimes shortened for convenience, but it is usually fairly clear what is being referenced. New or unfamiliar titles (in their time slots) are mostly single talks, equivalent to discourse titles or themes.

Differences from current wisdom

The pdf is largely in chronological order and has 193 items, ranging from 1965's Dhyan-Sutra (ध्यान-सूत्र) to 1986's Phir Amrit Ki Boond Padi (फिर अमरित की बूंद पड़ी) (5 talks). To make them easier to find in the pdf, they are referenced below by their item number.

Item Details, comments
17 "Prabhu Mandir Ke" in the list says, "30.10.68-03.11.68, 6 talks". 31/10 to 3/11 of that year are the dates of a camp in Nargol which was first said to be Prabhu Mandir Ke Dwar Par (प्रभु मंदिर के द्वार पर) but later was switched to Prabhu Ki Pagdandiyan (प्रभु की पगडंडियां). The collective evidence for Pagdandian on those dates is still stronger and Prabhu Mandir does have another set of dates which work well, so no change is contemplated but the conflation of these two series has been remarkably long-standing.
69 "Geeta Darshan Ch 3" (Ch here means Adhyaya) in the list says, "29.12.70-06.01.71, 10 talks". First edition of Geeta-Darshan, Adhyaya 3 (गीता-दर्शन, अध्याय ३) and other sources give 28 Dec 1970 - 6 Jan 1971, 10 talks (in 12 chapters in 1977 ed.)
