Talk:Swayam Ki Satta (स्वयं की सत्ता)

No trace of a published book could be found, nor time frame for the discourses, aside from the mention of Pune and Mumbai.

An interesting aspect of this series might be a theme implied by the word "Satta," meaning power. It is not a word Osho uses much, likely because of its susceptibility to corruption. And "Swayam Ki Satta," roughly personal power, one's own power, the power of one's self, well, it's unusual. But as "usual," he goes for it to the hilt; the title of the second discourse means, roughly, "Swayam Ki Satta is the only truth." -- Sarlo (talk) 00:20, 15 August 2014 (PDT)

Dates and Places info rec'd from Jagdish, images right. While it's mainly a boon, there is the unfortunate conflict between the two versions re talk #3. Still, hard to complain. Six out of seven ain't bad, and as a bonus, a new but completely infoless eighth talk that no one has ever heard of before. We can file it in . Collating the two versions:

1. Apr 14 1966 pm Birla Kreeda Kendra, Bombay

2. Apr 15 1966 pm Birla Kreeda Kendra, Bombay

3. Jun 12 1966 pm MES College, Poona (Q&A, theme incl Education)

or Apr 16 1966 pm Birla Kreeda Kendra, Bombay

4. Sep 17 1966 am Sunderbai Hall, Bombay

5. Sep 18 1966 am Birla Kreeda Kendra, Bombay

6. Sep 19 1966 am Vile Parle, Bombay

7. Sep 20 1966 am Khar, Bombay

8. unknown date um unknown location, unknown city

About poor ch 3, there is good reason to go with the talk in Pune, since the blurb for the series mentions talks "given by Osho in Pune and Mumbai on various aspects of life", and this would be the only one to hold up the Pune end of that deal, possibly excepting even poorer ch 8, about which nothing can be said except, "Good luck!"

It must be said that there is also a good reason not to go with Jun 12 pm in Pune, and that is that there is already another talk at that precise time, Aankhon Dekhi Sanch ~ 05, also in Pune. But there are ways around this: minor errors, two evening dates, etc. At least both talks are in Pune. And Swayam #3's venue MES College is on Mangaldas Rd, not far from Koregaon Park. A sign!

Aside from the above objection to Jun 12 in Pune, the case for Apr 16 in Birla's place is rather thinner, resting mainly on the attractiveness of having talks run in a series at the same venue. Which could also just as easily be a copy-paste error. Will go with Pune for now, as the need for at least one talk in Pune outweighs the apparent conflict. -- doofus-9 06:19, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
