Talk:Rahiman Dhaga Prem Ka (रहिमन धागा प्रेम का)
Title of this book apparently derives from a couplet by Rahim, 1556-1626, a poet and minister in Akbar's court, the height of the Mughal Empire regime in India. The couplet is rendered in various ways, a sampling here:
| Rahiman dhaga prem ka mat toro chatkaay,
Tute to phir na judey, jude gaanth parh jaaye. |
Rahiman dhaga prem ka, mat todo chatkaaye,
Tote se phir na jude, jude ghanth pad jaaye. |
It means, roughly: Rahim says, "Be alert not to break the thread of love; if broken, it cannot be put back together except with a knot."
A couple of questions arise about the book. Osho.com has two pages for its audioboook offer, one suggesting that the book is about Dulandas, the other not (it's actually 404'd but still cached at search engines). As it's the only place suggesting any such thing, we'll stick with a Q&A theme. The other question concerns the 12 discourses. The period of time available would come to 15 discourses in the normal course of events, so something must have happened to cancel three days. The most common cause of such anomalies would be a chicken-pox quarantine but who knows? -- Sarlo (talk) 20:24, 18 June 2014 (PDT)
