About the dates for the letters, the final date is not Jun 24 1971. That date belongs to the English letter on the back of ''[[Flowers of Love]]'', which is not part of ''Prem Ke Phool''. [[Sw Anand Neeten|Neeten's]] [http://www.oshosourcebook.com/bibliography/ Osho Source Book (Bibliography section)] has Nov 26 1970 as the last date, which may be authoritative but i have gone with Dec 7 1970, as that is the last entry for ''Prem Ke Phool'' in the [[Osho Discourses 1970]] Timeline page. I have no idea of the source of that but it could well be the book itself or ''Flowers'' or ''[[A Cup of Tea]]''.

And now narrowing it down with the final "something" word, likhe, with the remaining ambiguities just normal transliteration variations, eg gaye/gae, dwara/dvaara, etc. So: विभिन्न मित्रों व प्रेमियों को ओशो द्वारा लिखे गए 150 अमृत पत्रों का संकलन. -- doofus-9 16:13, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

:(ऊपर एक पत्र प्रस्तुत है आचार्यश्री का जो श्री अनूप बाबू, सुरेंद्रनगर को लिखा गया है । श्री अनूप बाबू ने आचार्यश्री से आचार्यश्री की जन्म तारीख और समय बताने का आग्रह किया था किसी ज्योतिपी मित्र के परामर्श से --- उसी संदर्म का है यह पत्र)
:Above is a letter from Acharyashree written to Mr. Anoop Babu, Surendranagar, who had asked Acharyashree for his date and time of birth, for a reading with a Jyotish practitioner friend. This letter flowed from that context.

|-
| 22/ बूंद सागर है ही || Pushkar Gokaani, Dwarka (GJ) || 24 Apr 1969 || **
|-
| colspan="4" | ** = letter is short, with a parenthetical explanation at end after date explaining what question Osho was addressing. See also letter #15.
|-
| 23/ निद्रा में जागरण की विधिः जागृति में जागना || Dhanshyamdas, Gwalior (MP) || 9 Sep 1969 ||
|-
| 24/ प्रज्ज्वलित अभीप्सा || Rohit Kumar Mittal, <br>Khandwa (?) (MP) || 2 Dec 1963 || **
|-
| colspan="4" | ** = Title for this letter has been updated to match the pdf version. Reason = TOC above had #24 and 25 identical, "साधना में धैर्य", which is surely mistaken. TOC has been updated as well.
|-
| 25/ साधना में धैर्य || [[Lala Sundarlal Jain|Lala Sundarlal]], Delhi || 1 Nov 1963 || **
|-
| colspan="4" | ** = Date appears at top, under the words "कटनी प्रवास से", apparently indicating letter is written in transit from Katni (MP)
|-
| 26/ प्रेम की वर्षा || Jayavanti, Junagarh (GJ) || 18 Aug 1969 ||
|-
| 27/ जहां प्यास है वहां मार्ग भी है || Shireesh Pai, Bombay || 11 Mar 1966 ||

|-
| 36/ मौन अभिव्यक्ति || [[Ma Kusum Bharti|Kusum]] || 3 Nov 1969 || **
|-
| colspan="4" | ** = Kusum not named as addressee, only in greeting, but husband Kapil mentioned in letter body as well.
|-
| 37/ प्रार्थना और प्रतीक्षापूर्ण समर्पण || [[Ma Kusum Bharti|Kusum]], Ludhiana || 19 Nov 1969 || more complete ID, parts <br>of letter nearly illegible

|-
| 39/ जहां प्रेम है, वहीं प्रार्थना है || Dolly Deedee, Bombay || 3 Nov 1969 || **
|-
| colspan="4" | ** = Dolly Diddee is one of Osho's early translators, and in fact he dedicates this book of letters to her, but the last name in this letter, which is surely addressed to her, is दीदी, which transliterates as Deedee. If it matters.
|-
| 40/ अनंत प्रतीक्षा ही साधना है || Kanchan Bahan, Valsad (GJ) || 2 Oct 1968 ||
|-
| 41/ प्रार्थनापूर्ण प्रतीक्षा ही प्रेम है || Ram__? Dikshit 'Vishwa', Jabalpur || 7 Dec 1969 || letter has a PS
|-
| 42/ मैं--एक स्वप्न--एक निद्रा || Kanchan Bahan, Valsad (GJ) || 18 Jul 1968 ||

|-
| 47/ बिल्कुल ही टूट जा, मिट जा || Anusuya Bahan, Bombay || 16 Feb 1970 || **
|-
| colspan="4" | ** = Letter #38 is addressed to Anasuya, Bombay, probably the same person and more likely the correct spelling
|-
| 48/ प्रभु की प्यास || [[Ma Kusum Bharti|Kusum Bahin]], Ludhiana || 16 Feb 1970 || Bahin = sister = Bahan (above)
|-
| 49/ जीवन-दृष्टि || illegible Mehta, Ahmedabad || 2 Jan 1970 || long
|-
| 50/ जीवन निष्प्रयोजन है || [[Sw Anand Maitreya|Mathura Babu]], Patna || 2 Jan 1970 ||
|-
| 51/ शून्य ही द्वार है, मार्ग है, मंजिल है || Ramanand (?) Upadhyay, Kathmandu || 13 May 1970 || poetic form, not all legible
|-
| 52/ प्राणों की आतुरता || [[Ma Kusum Bharti|Kusum Bahan]], Ludhiana || 13 May 1970 || here "bahan" confirms above observation
|-
| 53/ युवक क्रांति दल || Dinesh Shahi, Indore (MP) || 22 Nov 1970 || **
|-
| colspan="4" | ** = Letter title is the name of Osho's org for young people, literally "youth revolution group"
|-

|-
| 55/ प्रेम के दो रूपः काम और करुणा || Dr MR Geetam, Banaras (UP) || 15 Feb 1970 ||
|-
| 56/ सर्व स्वीकार है द्वार प्रभु का || Dr MR Geetam, Banaras (UP) || 16 Feb 1970 || **
|-
| colspan="4" | ** = "Geetam" is illegible in #55, location completely absent in #56, but together the picture emerges.
|-
| 57/ सोचना नहीं। देखना--बस देखना || no one || no date || poetic form, long
|-
| 58/ विरह, प्यास, पुकार और आंसू || Sardarilal Sahagal, Amritsar || no date || surname not found by G**gle, <br>they suggest Sehgal fwiw
|-
| 59/ दस जीवन सूत्र || [[Sw Ananda Vitaraga|Ramchandra]], Patna || 8 Apr 1970 || **
|-
| colspan="4" | ** = These are the ''[[Das Jeevan-Sutra (दस जीवन-सूत्र)]]'' found in the beginning of this book before the letters. They are playful substitutes for the Ten Commandments, in response to a query apparently from Osho's old friend Dr Ramchandra Prasad, a professor of English at Patna University. "Apparently", because no recipient is stated here, just "Ramchandra" appears in the opening greeting.
|-
| 60/ सत्य को जीतने की कलाः सब भांति हार जाना || [[Sw Krishna Chaitanya|Babubhai Shah]], Ajol (GJ) || 11 Apr 1970 ||
|-
| 61/ मृत्यु का बोध || [[Sw Anand Maitreya|Mathuraprasad Mishra]], Patna || 11 Apr 1970 ||
|-
| 62/ अर्थ (उमंदपदह) की खोज || Pushparaj Sharma, Shimla (HP) || 8 Apr 1970 || **
|-
| colspan="4" | ** = Another of the unfortunate Devanagari substitutions for English words in parentheses in the pdf's letter title. This time, the English word was "Meaning", and it was entirely appropriate, emphasizing the meaning of the Hindi word preceding, "अर्थ", meaning "meaning", if that's not too feedback-loopy. And a question about the search for meaning was apparently what Osho was responding to. Now we have "उमंदपदह", meaning "Hopeful". At least it is a real word.
|-
| 63/ जाग कर देखें--मैं है ही नहीं || Mayadevi Jain, Chandigarh (PB) || 8 Apr 1970 || **
|-
| colspan="4" | ** = this version of the title has split the first word of the pdf version into two, looks correct
|-
| 64/ खोज--खोज--और खोज || [[Ma Kusum Bharti|Kusum]], Ludhiana || 8 Apr 1970 || short
|-
| 65/ अंतर्वीणा || Jayantilal P Bagras (?), Udaipur (RJ) || 8 Apr 1970 || **

|-
| 66/ सपनेः बंद व खुली आंखों के || Guna Shah, Bombay || 8 Apr 1970 ||

|-
| 71/ प्रेम की आग || Jayati Shukla, Junagarh (GJ) ||13 Nov 1970 || date not in pdf, found in Timeline
|-
| 72/ विचारों की चरम सीमा || Premshankar Pande, Manmad (MH) || no date ||
|-
| 73/ खोजो मत--खाओ || [[Sw Satyanand]], Tikamgarh (MP) || 12 Nov 1970 || **
|-
| colspan="4" | ** = last word in the title in the pdf version has an "extra" diacritic: खोओ doesn't seem right but . . . see Footnote #1 below
|-
| 74/ वाणी रहित, मांग रहित स्वयं का समर्पण || Lalita Rathor, Fatehabad (MP) || 12 Nov 1970 ||
|-
| 75/ प्राणों के गीत। || Rajendra R Anjaripa (?), Ahmedabad || 16 Nov 1970 ||
|-
| 76/ पहले खोजो प्रभु का राज्य || Kedar Sinhal, Neemuch (MP) || 16 Nov 1970 || **
|-
| colspan="4" | ** = letter title is identical in pdf version but has an English translation of it underneath: "First Ye Seek The Kingdom Of God"
|-
| 77/ जीवन को नृत्य बना || [[Ma Yoga Neelam|Neelam Amarjeet]], Ludhiana || 16 Nov 1970 ||
|-
| 78/ जहां शिकायत नहीं है, वहीं प्रार्थना है || Sardari Lal Sahagal, Amritsar || 16 Nov 1970 ||
|-
| 79/ आंखें खोलो और देखो || [[Ma Kusum Bharti|Kusum]], Ludhiana || 17 Nov 1970 ||
|-
| 80/ समर्पण है द्वार || Savitri C Patel, Valsad (GJ) || 17 Nov 1970 || **
|-
| colspan="4" | ** = title means "Surrender Is a Door", pdf  version title is rather starker: समर्पण---समर्पण---समर्पण : "Surrender---Surrender---Surrender"
|-
| 81/ जीवन में इतना दुख क्यों है? || [[Sw Ageh Bharti|Shiv]], Jabalpur || 1 May 1970 ||

|-
| 93/ सत्य शब्दातीत है || [[Ma Yoga Laxmi]], Bombay || 5 Sep 1970 || **
|-

:<big>Footnote #1</big> (re letter #73): It's long and picky, and it goes like this: G**gle Translate would give me no options for khoo, the word in Roman characters, that would come close. So i "grafted" a ओ (o) onto खो (kho) to make खोओ, and suddenly it found a meaning for the finished product whose very existence it could not even consider previously. Suddenly, it means, "Get lost!" Well, maybe this is what Osho wanted to say. The context, the other words mean, "search not", so it's brilliant to end it with "get lost". As it is, "खाओ" is the imperative form of "eat", and as a completion to "search not", is kind of anemic. So though the process of getting there was awkward, it looks like a good place to arrive. This imperative verb form खोओ is also used in letter #128, though having a different meaning in a different context. -- doofus-9 18:05, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
:<big>Footnote #2</big> (re letter #93): Date for this letter, addressed to [[Ma Yoga Laxmi]], ie in that name, not her pre-sannyas name, is not in the pdf version of ''Prem Ke Phool''. The date, Sep 5 1970, derives from the Timeline, the source for that likely being ''[[Flowers of Love]]'', its English translation. This date precedes the date Osho gave sannyas to anyone officially, ie during the Sep 26 - Oct 5 1970 [[Meditation Camps|camp]] in Manali.
:A few other similar name-date combinations have leaked out from other books of Hindi letters where Osho has addressed people by their sannyas names before the blessed event, but they have been less prominent than Laxmi, and so perhaps because of their lower profile, this info has been available in their published letters. In the case of Laxmi and letter #93, this editor speculates that the date here has been suppressed so as to avoid raising questions about how much this first sannyas ceremony was pre-arranged. Or something like that. And this may apply to letter #94, which is missing entirely here, but between two letters written to Laxmi in that same era. The last one is mysteriously dated Oct 1, addressed to her in Bombay, still during the Manali camp but after the sannyas ceremony had happened.
:Other letters written before the official sannyas event but addressed to sannyas names include letters to:
::[[Ma Yoga Bhagwati]] dated 7 Sep 1970, published as [[Talk:Antarveena (अंतर्वीणा)|''Antarveena'' #22]]
::[[Ma Anand Madhu]] dated 12 Jan 1970, published as [[Talk:Dhai Aakhar Prem Ka (ढ़ाई आखर प्रेम का)|''Dhai Aakhar Prem Ka'' #31]]

Misc Notes

About the dates for the letters, the final date is not Jun 24 1971. That date belongs to the English letter on the back of Flowers of Love, which is not part of Prem Ke Phool. Neeten's Osho Source Book (Bibliography section) has Nov 26 1970 as the last date, which may be authoritative but i have gone with Dec 7 1970, as that is the last entry for Prem Ke Phool in the Osho Timeline 1970 page. I have no idea of the source of that but it could well be the book itself or Flowers or A Cup of Tea.


Dec 7 1970 is indeed the last date that is mentioned in the book, ch.44. (Sarlo, see that spreadsheet I sent you 2014-11-17.) --Sugit (talk) 02:40, 7 December 2014 (PST)


And about the subtitle in the Hind Pocket edition, it is not right but will need a higher-res image to make out what it actually is. Best guess at this point is: "Vibhinn mitron va premiyon ko Osho dvaara something gae 150 amrit patron ka sankalan." -- doofus-9 (talk) 23:49, 6 December 2014 (PST)


And now narrowing it down with the final "something" word, likhe, with the remaining ambiguities just normal transliteration variations, eg gaye/gae, dwara/dvaara, etc. So: विभिन्न मित्रों व प्रेमियों को ओशो द्वारा लिखे गए 150 अमृत पत्रों का संकलन. -- doofus-9 16:13, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

Above is a letter from Acharyashree written to Mr. Anoop Babu, Surendranagar, who had asked Acharyashree for his date and time of birth, for a reading with a Jyotish practitioner friend. This letter flowed from that context.

24/ प्रज्ज्वलित अभीप्सा Rohit Kumar Mittal,
Khandwa (?) (MP)
2 Dec 1963 **

38/ जीवन के अनंत रूपों का स्वागत Anasuya, Bombay 3 Nov 1969
39/ जहां प्रेम है, वहीं प्रार्थना है Dolly Deedee, Bombay 3 Nov 1969 **
** = Dolly Diddee is one of Osho's early translators, and in fact he dedicates this book of letters to her, but the last name in this letter, which is surely addressed to her, is दीदी, which transliterates as Deedee. If it matters.

54/ जीवन है असुरक्षा--अव्यवस्था Jayavanti, Junagarh (GJ) 17 Feb 1970
55/ प्रेम के दो रूपः काम और करुणा Dr MR Geetam, Banaras (UP) 15 Feb 1970
56/ सर्व स्वीकार है द्वार प्रभु का Dr MR Geetam, Banaras (UP) 16 Feb 1970 **
** = "Geetam" is illegible in #55, location completely absent in #56, but together the picture emerges.
57/ सोचना नहीं। देखना--बस देखना no one no date poetic form, long
58/ विरह, प्यास, पुकार और आंसू Sardarilal Sahagal, Amritsar no date surname not found by G**gle,

59/ दस जीवन सूत्र Ramchandra, Patna 8 Apr 1970 **
** = These are the Das Jeevan-Sutra (दस जीवन-सूत्र) found in the beginning of this book before the letters. They are playful substitutes for the Ten Commandments, in response to a query apparently from Osho's old friend Dr Ramchandra Prasad, a professor of English at Patna University. "Apparently", because no recipient is stated here, just "Ramchandra" appears in the opening greeting.
60/ सत्य को जीतने की कलाः सब भांति हार जाना Babubhai Shah, Ajol (GJ) 11 Apr 1970
61/ मृत्यु का बोध Mathuraprasad Mishra, Patna 11 Apr 1970
62/ अर्थ (उमंदपदह) की खोज Pushparaj Sharma, Shimla (HP) 8 Apr 1970 **
** = Another of the unfortunate Devanagari substitutions for English words in parentheses in the pdf's letter title. This time, the English word was "Meaning", and it was entirely appropriate, emphasizing the meaning of the Hindi word preceding, "अर्थ", meaning "meaning", if that's not too feedback-loopy. And a question about the search for meaning was apparently what Osho was responding to. Now we have "उमंदपदह", meaning "Hopeful". At least it is a real word.
63/ जाग कर देखें--मैं है ही नहीं Mayadevi Jain, Chandigarh (PB) 8 Apr 1970 **

72/ विचारों की चरम सीमा Premshankar Pande, Manmad (MH) no date
73/ खोजो मत--खाओ Sw Satyanand, Tikamgarh (MP) 12 Nov 1970 **

79/ आंखें खोलो और देखो Kusum, Ludhiana 17 Nov 1970
80/ समर्पण है द्वार Savitri C Patel, Valsad (GJ) 17 Nov 1970 **
** = title means "Surrender Is a Door", pdf version title is rather starker: समर्पण---समर्पण---समर्पण : "Surrender---Surrender---Surrender"

Footnote #1 (re letter #73): It's long and picky, and it goes like this: G**gle Translate would give me no options for khoo, the word in Roman characters, that would come close. So i "grafted" a ओ (o) onto खो (kho) to make खोओ, and suddenly it found a meaning for the finished product whose very existence it could not even consider previously. Suddenly, it means, "Get lost!" Well, maybe this is what Osho wanted to say. The context, the other words mean, "search not", so it's brilliant to end it with "get lost". As it is, "खाओ" is the imperative form of "eat", and as a completion to "search not", is kind of anemic. So though the process of getting there was awkward, it looks like a good place to arrive. This imperative verb form खोओ is also used in letter #128, though having a different meaning in a different context. -- doofus-9 18:05, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
Footnote #2 (re letter #93): Date for this letter, addressed to Ma Yoga Laxmi, ie in that name, not her pre-sannyas name, is not in the pdf version of Prem Ke Phool. The date, Sep 5 1970, derives from the Timeline, the source for that likely being Flowers of Love, its English translation. This date precedes the date Osho gave sannyas to anyone officially, ie during the Sep 26 - Oct 5 1970 camp in Manali.
A few other similar name-date combinations have leaked out from other books of Hindi letters where Osho has addressed people by their sannyas names before the blessed event, but they have been less prominent than Laxmi, and so perhaps because of their lower profile, this info has been available in their published letters. In the case of Laxmi and letter #93, this editor speculates that the date here has been suppressed so as to avoid raising questions about how much this first sannyas ceremony was pre-arranged. Or something like that. And this may apply to letter #94, which is missing entirely here, but between two letters written to Laxmi in that same era. The last one is mysteriously dated Oct 1, addressed to her in Bombay, still during the Manali camp but after the sannyas ceremony had happened.
Other letters written before the official sannyas event but addressed to sannyas names include letters to:
Ma Yoga Bhagwati dated 7 Sep 1970, published as Antarveena #22
Ma Anand Madhu dated 12 Jan 1970, published as Dhai Aakhar Prem Ka #31
Ma Anand Madhu dated 5 Feb 1970, published as Dhai Aakhar Prem Ka #32
Ma Dharm Jyoti dated 7 Sep 1970, published as Dhai Aakhar Prem Ka #33
