Talk:My People: A Commune to Provoke God
Where did taken My People: A Commune to Provoke God by 1978 year published. Is correct information? On CD-ROM it is not there, but it is in list of appendix under another name:
A Commune to Provoke God ......... PROVOK .......... CO

Look a little deeper . . . and in that CD-ROM entry it also indicates a clue: At the end, in the last two columns, "Type" and "CD-ROM", there are "CO" and nothing. "CO" means a compilation, a "book" type that is not included in the CD-ROM, because its constituent parts ARE included, ie a compilation is just other material organized and repackaged. And the blank in the "CD-ROM" column means, no, it is not in the CD-ROM.
And look in the article page here, you see it called a pamphlet, not a book. Pamphlets are, in that era (1978) not original words from discourses. The only (published) pamphlets that would be in the CD-ROM are those from Osho's earliest talks in the 60s and very early 70s. They would be a single talk on a particular theme, not a compilation like this. This is commune propaganda, not a discourse or collection of discourses. doofus-9 15:40, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
Then If This isn't discourse It have not category of English publication? --Dhyanantar (talk) 11:15, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
And page A Commune to Provoke God as compilation book, It needs to creat. I think --Dhyanantar (talk) 11:22, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
Since this "book" is at best an agenda-driven compilation, its entry in the CD-ROM can be best considered as an aberration. And it was never published to sell in public bookstores or to interest other publishers. Consumption was only intended for the Pune One ashram. Rudra has updated the article page to get it out of English Pubs and formatted as a "sanbook", ie a book not by Osho but by sannyasins, about him and his "work". See also "Rajneeshism". doofus-9 16:17, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
Aha, I did not know this page/title existed. I am suspicious that the CD-ROM is referring to the brochure that has been documented here: A Community to Provoke God.
As for this page and it's title (different from the CD-ROM) : publication year, publisher and number of pages are the same, strongly suggesting it is the same. The "My People" phrase is not found on the cover, but it is actually on the title-page. As title pages are leading, the title should in fact be My People: A Community to Provoke God.
So I will to move A Community to Provoke God, if no-one objects.
Thanks for your sharp eye Dhyanantar. In my language, (Dutch) they say in such cases: "new brooms sweep clean". --Sugit (talk) 20:12, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
