Talk:Undated Letter written to Anandmayee 005
Observations...
- In the 3rd para of letter dated 8 Mar 61 the 1st line reads “मैं महावीर जयंती के लिए बंबई के आमंत्रण को स्वीकार कर लिया हूँ। - I have accepted invitation for Mahavir Jyanti from Bombay.” As per the Jain Festivals 1961 listed in the [Calendar 1961] : 2559th Birth Anniversary of Mahavir Swami Mahavir Jayanti falls on Thursday, March 30, 1961.
- In the end of current letter Osho says: “I will be going to Bombay on 28th March and returning back on 1 or 2 April.”
- PS of current letter cannot be part of letter on 8 Mar as: Osho mentioned in that letter (8 Mar) receiving of letters from Phadke Guruji and Ch. Padam and he says that will answer on them soon. Previous known letter from 1 Mar has already additional sheet with PS with answers to these two persons.
- In 1st line of letter dated 16 Mar 61 Osho writes: “प्रणाम। पत्र मिले : खूब खुशी हुई। - Pranam. Received the letters - pleased lot.” (It can be inferred that the other letters might be from Shree Parakh Ji and Padam also.) Further in the 2nd para Osho writes: “श्री भीखमचंद जी देशलहरा के निमंत्रण पर मैं अपनी असमर्थता के लिए क्षमा मांग लिया था। आज उनका दूसरा पत्र आया है कि मैं आपको पहुँचने के लिए लिख दूँ। महावीर जयंती पर आप बुलडाना चली जायें तो अच्छा हो। - I had asked forgiveness for my inability to accept invitation of Shree Bhikhamchand Deshalhara. Received second letter from him today that, I suggest you to reach. So it would be good if you visit Buldhana on Mahavir Jayanti.”
- In the same letter (16 Mar) in 4th para Osho says: “महावीर जयंती के बहुत से आमंत्रणों में एक जयपुर का आमंत्रण भी है। अब तो बंबई के बंध गया हूँ। - One of the many invitations of Mahavir Jayanti is the invitation of Jaipur. I am now tied to Bombay.”
- From this manuscript transcribed and translated on main page we can see this Osho is addressing to Shree Parakh Ji, Chi. Padam and Ma in response to their letters each. Response to Ma is congruent with letters of 3 and 16 Mar as noted above. So it is very much possible that this PS is for the letter written on 16 Mar 61.
- In the 3rd para of letter dated 8 Mar 61 the 1st line reads “मैं महावीर जयंती के लिए बंबई के आमंत्रण को स्वीकार कर लिया हूँ। - I have accepted invitation for Mahavir Jyanti from Bombay.” As per the Jain Festivals 1961 listed in the [Calendar 1961] : 2559th Birth Anniversary of Mahavir Swami Mahavir Jayanti falls on Thursday, March 30, 1961.
Above from Dilip with some additions from me. He is for 16 Mar. However i have other view: a) letter on 16 Mar has two sheets, then PS sheet should be 3rd sheet, unlikely? b) Style of writing in Letter 16 Mar (very plain lines, small right field) differs from style used in current PS (lines move down, big right field), to which (PS) suits well next letter from Letter written on 26 Mar 1961 pm; c) letter 26 Mar published in Bhavna on p 87 and this PS on next page.--DhyanAntar 09:17, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
