"Doc X" has the dates for this series as Sep 25 - Oct 2. Like this page, the Meditation Camps page has Oct 1 but if the source for that was only this page, it doesn't mean much. The fifteen discourses would fit better with Oct 2, if they were following a "normal" camp pattern of one the first evening and two each day thereafter. There's lots of room in the Osho Timeline 1971 page to expand into Oct 2, in fact, this camp is not entered there at all, so no conflict there.


Looks now like the source of all these Oct 1 mentions is Gyan Bhed, according to Talk:Behind a Thousand Names, so re-examining that, Gyan Bhed refers only to a "week-long camp" starting on Sep 25, 1971. I think there is wiggle-room enough to see this "week-long" as only approximate, especially as Day One would likely consist only of an evening. Eight days would make it Oct 2 so that seems more right. Updated, Sarlo (talk) 07:15, 24 May 2014 (PDT)


Just a piece of info: OW has 17 mp3s as Nirvan Upanishad. --Sugit (talk) 09:03, 16 August 2015 (UTC)


Like a few of the camps in those days, there is audio where Osho is leading meditations. These are sometimes considered separate, not included in books and/or audio collections. So for Nirvan, OW's free download page includes them, they are tagged OSHO-Nirvan Upanishad Dynamic 16.mp3 and OSHO-Nirvan Upanishad Tratak 17.mp3 but for whatever reason they are not included in either the hard copy or audiobooks.-- doofus-9 (talk) 17:43, 16 August 2015 (UTC)


I have listened to #16 and #17, they are Osho leading Dynamic meditation indeed. --Sugit (talk) 06:05, 19 August 2015 (UTC)


A small note about editions: The 2000 Rebel edition, along with its 2003 and 2006 reprints, is referred to as edition #1 but as it has the same cover and Hardback format as the 1992 edition, it may well be just another reprint itself. It has been observed that the western concept of "edition number" has had a fairly loose and free-floating treatment in India.

Apparently the publishing business in India is not very lucrative, with tight margins. The many and varied ways of cutting corners and getting tax breaks may include "edition #" treatments, like Diamond's recent practice of calling any publication the "20whatever" edition for its year of printing, or Rebel's looseness with "reprint" and so on. -- doofus-9 22:24, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
