There once was said to be a 1969 edition:

subtitle: 120 Immortal Letters
publisher: Jivan Jagruti Kendra
pages: 227

but that seems too doubtful to put on the main page. Compare the 1969 Seeds of Revolutionary Thought. --Sugit (talk) 07:59, 27 April 2015 (UTC)


It's cited in Neeten's Osho Source Book's Bibliography page, even has its own subtitle, "120 Immortal Letters." But, heh heh, Neeten has been known to use the wiki as a source, so perhaps we have to be alert about the "independence" of such validations.

The main problem i have with this whole series / proliferation of alt-titles and translations and re-issues is that they all say letters written from 1966-69 (when they mention letters at all) but the original Kranti Beej (क्रांति बीज) from which it was translated was published in 1965. But i haven't found alternative dates for the letters.

Above written in Aug 2014. Having since looked at the whole of Neeten's mentions of Kranti Beej, it seems pretty solid that it was published in Jan 1965, if not earlier, so dates for the letters have been set accordingly, 1960-64. -- doofus-9 (talk) 21:40, 13 May 2015 (UTC)


Anyway, it is clear that with that 1969 edition is meant the first edition of this text. That does exist, was published in 1969, and it has a different title: Seeds of Revolutionary Thought.

And just for fun to leave some remaining shreds of doubt: the Lao Tzu Library Book List mentions Seeds of Revolution (JJK 1972) with 2 copies and a (JJK 1969) with 0 copies.

The next entry is Seeds of Revolutionary Thought (MB 1969). So this would only work if there was in 1969 both a MB and a JJK edition. --Sugit (talk) 18:09, 3 May 2016 (UTC)


On CD Osho books (in appendix) is The Seeds of Revolution with minititles 'HSEEDS'. Is there this book anyway?
