Talk:Sambhog Se Samadhi Ki Or (संभोग से समाधि की ओर)

As noted on the main page, Sambhog can be said to have either five or eighteen discourses. This is because it is both the title of a compilation of four books and the title of one of the component books. The four books are:

I: Sambhog Se Samadhi Ki Aur ("Part I")

II: Yuvak Aur Yon (युवक और योन)

III: Nari Aur Kranti (नारी और क्रांति)

IV: Jeevan Kranti Ke Sutra (जीवन क्रांति के सूत्र)

As a whole, they are sometimes referred to as Sambhog Se Samadhi Ki Aur - Sampurna (Complete). And in some places you see the Roman numerals after the individual titles, eg Nari Aur Kranti - III. Details of how they fit together are below in the TOC section.

Sambhog as a component book is from a series of five talks given in Mumbai/Bombay in 1968. The first was given at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan Auditorium on Aug 28, 1968. Osho had been invited to talk on Love and surprised his sponsors by speaking frankly of sexual energy and its importance in the spiritual journey. The dignitaries sitting on the stage with him all left and the rest of the talks scheduled there were cancelled. Osho went back to Jabalpur but returned to Mumbai a month later to finish the series, in a large park downtown (Gowalia Tank Maidan, Sep 28 - Oct 1, 1968), where he attracted crowds in the multi-thousands. There are numerous accounts of all this, some of which are excerpted by Neeten in his online Osho Source Book (see link at his page).

TOC below is for the full 18-chapter book. G**gle Books has it and all four component books online for inside-the-book peeks. All except Nari show their TOCs, which makes for a handy comparison of chapter titles. (As mentioned in the discussion page for Nari, a version of that TOC was mysteriously found elsewhere in a blog.) The inside-the-book chapter titles match up perfectly, though not in order, so a Roman numeral is placed after each chapter title to indicate which component book it is from, plus its chapter number there. One of the words in one of the titles i could not render properly; it is underlined, and if anyone knows it or can work it out, please drop us a line -- Sarlo (talk) 09:48, 8 June 2014 (PDT)
