Regarding title issues, this series has had its share. The last word seems to be unclear, so we have a few variations, even on front covers. Thaon (थाओं) seems to be the eventual consensus but who knows? Previous/alt versions are Thanv (ठांव), found only as text on the net and Thanta (ठांट), found on the Rebel 2003 cover. How the last letters can vary so much is a mystery. Note also the variation in the first letter (Th). Perhaps a Hindi speaker can puzzle this out. -- [[User:Sarlo|Sarlo]] ([[User talk:Sarlo|talk]]) 09:42, 23 April 2014 (PDT) | Regarding title issues, this series has had its share.

Regarding title issues, this series has had its share. The last word seems to be unclear, so we have a few variations, even on front covers. Thaon (थाओं) seems to be the eventual consensus but who knows? Previous/alt versions are Thanv (ठांव), found only as text on the net and Thanta (ठांट), found on the Rebel 2003 cover. How the last letters can vary so much is a mystery. Note also the variation in the first letter (Th). Perhaps a Hindi speaker can puzzle this out. -- Sarlo (talk) 09:42, 23 April 2014 (PDT)
That Hindi speaker has come forward, in the person of Osho's brother Shailendra, who says categorically that, "ठांव is Right. (Meaning= Resting place, home). थाओं- There is no such word in Hindi. (AI of Google is creating many funny things like this). नहीं राम बिन ठांव= There is no resting place except RAAM/ OM. (Here Raam does not mean the historical king, Sita's Husband; but divine melody echoing in our soul.)"
And since ठांव is what seems to be on the covers, hard to make a case any more for थाओं/Thaon. And there's also the title of ch 16, just now noticed. So the move has happened. -- doofus-9 22:56, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
