Indeed on the cover the name is ''Yoga As Spontaneous Happening''. But inside, both on the title-page and directly above the start of the text, the title is '''''YOGA As A Spontaneous Happening'''''. (From a photocopy.)
* At the back of some old books there is "Available English Books" where the book is listed as "Yoga : A Spontaneous Happening". This can be found in the 1972 [[Beyond and Beyond]], in the 1973 ''[[Dynamics of  Meditation]]'',  and in the 1973 [[The Inward Revolution]].
* In three official book lists that I receiveid in 1990 - 1991 in the commune, the book is listed with "a".
* Chapter 3 of ''[[The Silent Explosion]]'' has a different title, but chapter 3 of ''[[The Great Challenge]]'' is "Yoga: a spontaneous happening".
* The [[Sw Anand Neeten|Osho Source Book]] lists the book both with and without "a".
* Omitting the "a" is not correct English.
My conclusion is that the omission of the "a" on the cover was an error, and I propose to keep the title in the Wiki with "a". --[[User:Sugit|Sugit]] ([[User talk:Sugit|talk]]) 09:41, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

The listed name for the book should be changed from 'Yoga As a Spontaneous Happening' to 'Yoga As Spontaneous Happening' (note without the letter 'a' between As and Spontaneous). Swamisitar (talk) 04:44, 30 October 2015 (UTC)


Indeed on the cover the name is Yoga As Spontaneous Happening. But inside, both on the title-page and directly above the start of the text, the title is YOGA As A Spontaneous Happening. (From a photocopy.)

  • At the back of some old books there is "Available English Books" where the book is listed as "Yoga : A Spontaneous Happening". This can be found in the 1972 Beyond and Beyond, in the 1973 Dynamics of Meditation, and in the 1973 The Inward Revolution.
  • In three official book lists that I receiveid in 1990 - 1991 in the commune, the book is listed with "a".
  • Chapter 3 of The Silent Explosion has a different title, but chapter 3 of The Great Challenge is "Yoga: a spontaneous happening".
  • The Osho Source Book lists the book both with and without "a".
  • Omitting the "a" is not correct English.

My conclusion is that the omission of the "a" on the cover was an error, and I propose to keep the title in the Wiki with "a". --Sugit (talk) 09:41, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
