Flap text: "In response to questions from individuals and members of the press, Osho speaks on the essential and timeless path of meditation – focusing on India’s ancient heritage of inquiry into transforming human consciousness, of going within ourselves rather than looking to the outer world for fulfillment and recognition.
Set against the backdrop of his return to India after having been illegally deported from the United States, and after a subsequent “World Tour” where he was denied entry to 21 countries, Osho uses those recent experiences to highlight his essential message for the whole of humanity – to grow in consciousness, to discover individual freedom and truth through tapping into our inner treasure of awareness."
translated from
Hindi : Koplen Phir Phoot Aayeen (कोंपलें फिर फूट आईं) (parts) and Phir Amrit Ki Boond Padi (फिर अमरित की बूंद पड़ी) (5 talks) (complete). Note that all of Phir Amrit's five talks were published first in two mixed-source books, three in an 11-talk version of Phir Amrit and two in the first edition of Phir Patton Ki Panjeb Baji (फिर पत्तों की पांजेब बजी). See Phir Amrit's talk page for details on all that.
