Revision as of 07:47, 20 November 2019

The letters Osho wrote to Anandmayee have several recurring features which are noted in the table below so as to discern any patterns. Potential patterns revolve around a few things:

1. Blue numbers in circles are found in most letters early in the series, then none, then they re-appear.
2. Red tick marks mostly in the upper area above the salutation. It is not known who wrote these marks and numbers, when or why.
3. Dates: File numbers of letters with known dates are mostly in chronological order, with some jumps. It may be that the undated ones appear in that same chronological order, amongst them.
4. The "115" in the Mahakoshal / Yogesh Bhavan letterhead is handwritten, and is actually missing in some letters.
5. Watermark Some letters have a watermark, "JUPITER BOND", in ALL-CAPS, with "JUPITER" arcing over "BOND". Last letter "D" is stylized.
6. Pale blue marks in various places of varying shapes and oddnesses.
7. Whether published in Kranti Beej (क्रांति बीज) or Bhavna Ke Bhojpatron Par Osho (भावना के भोजपत्रों पर ओशो), and if the latter, page number in Diamond's 2002 edition.

Sarloji, my proposal for undated letter is to keep them in guessed period, i.e. to put them near by known letters. E.g. Undated Letter written to Anandmayee 001 to Timeline 1960. Or will we cut off guessed period and to put them to Timeline year unknown?--DhyanAntar 06:48, 7 November 2019 (UTC)


New organization of the data above keeps them arranged in file # order, so it's easy to keep track. The undated ones can go in Timeline year unknown, actually MUST go there, but there they can have the year as "1960?" or whatever year /month their dated adjacent file #s have. The blue numbers may eventually assist in pointing toward their place in the chrono order. Or may not. -- doofus-9 07:55, 7 November 2019 (UTC)


And the blue numbers and red ticks keep getting weirder and more chaotic. Hard to imagine they will ever point to something systematic. -- doofus-9 06:33, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
