"Unedited transcript" refers to the situation all but one of the unpublished Darshan Diaries are in, but this DD and the next are in a special category of roughness. (See below.)

"10 or 29" talks/chapters refers to an anomaly which manifested in the CD-ROM. Feb 1980 was a "normal" month in Pune but records of initiation talks got somehow mangled before transfer into the CD-ROM, so that the 29 nights of talks got jumbled and compressed into ten chapters and represented as Feb 1-10. As far as is known, there were no days off in Feb. A similar anomaly seems to have happened in Mar (see Fingers Pointing to the Moon), with the additional complication of a possible few missing nights due to a chicken-pox quarantine. As far as is known, Osho's words for those 29 nights of Feb are mostly there in those ten chapters but mixed up and with things like names sometimes missing. -- doofus-9 (talk) 12:54, 26 January 2015 (PST)


Names are certainly missing, and in significant proportion. A more thorough survey of the Feb and Mar darshans of that year, at Feb-Mar-1980 Darshans, has found names for only 36 people of the approximately 213 taking sannyas that month. See the Fingers talk page for more on this. -- doofus-9 18:10, 2 June 2019 (UTC)


New source stated on above page (Feb-Mar-1980 Darshans) brought 228 names which fits well with CD-ROM data. It also has a table with comparison 10 CD's chapters with events.

But CD has Sw Dhyan Jules which is missing in new list and it looks as he took sannyas on 21 Feb.--DhyanAntar 04:26, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
