There were also edition-entries for publisher = Boxtree Ltd with:

publishing year 1996 (same ISBN as the Paperback)
a Hardcover edition (no ISBN mentioned)

I have removed both as being unlikely to exist, from searching the web and the mixups I see there. --Sugit (talk) 10:16, 24 January 2016 (UTC)


According to Talk:Osho Dhyan Yog (ओशो ध्यान योग) the book translated (partly?) from Rajneesh Dhyan Yog (रजनीश ध्यान योग) or Osho Dhyan Yog (ओशो ध्यान योग) and includes The Orange Book. To be checked.--DhyanAntar 05:31, 24 December 2020 (UTC)


The book has list of References with sources. I used 1996 ed. of St. Martin's Press and there are a few errors in sources.--DhyanAntar 11:42, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
