Talk:Yuvak Aur Yaun (युवक और यौन)
Lots of things to discuss here. First, the transliteration(s): Actually, it's not complicated. On the covers and in the Hindi text, it's always यौन, which "should" transliterate as Yaun, but this is done in very few places, so few that i have adopted the majority version, Yon. Yaun does not find Yon either, nor v v. Best search terms to find it all is simply "Yuvak Aur." Note the correct transliteration in "Aur." Well, whatever.
Related to this in an odd way is the almost alt-title, Yuvak Aur Seks, sometimes Yuvak Aur Sex, where the Devanagari would be सेक्स, if it were actually used, which is not known. But the title has been thus rendered in some accounts. Perhaps half-transliteration, half-translation. The 60-63 and the 1974 editions have been represented in this way, according to Neeten's Bibliography (see Osho Source Book link at his page).
There is a consideration of the four constituent parts of Sambhog, of which Yuvak is one, at Talk:Sambhog Se Samadhi Ki Aur (संभोग से समाधि की ओर). One related matter that came to light while looking at Yuvak was the nine-chapter manifestation. In fact, osho.com even has an audiobook offering nominally for Yuvak of nine audios. As it happens, these correspond (sort of) to the middle nine chapters of Sambhog, which as we can see are the shuffled-together chapters of Yuvak and Nari Aur Kranti (नारी और क्रांति). And the 2013 OMI edition of Sambhog divides the eighteen chapters into three sections, the middle one being these nine chapters and called युवक और यौन.
These are the five chapters of the stand-alone Yuvak:
- 1. युवक और यौन
- 2. यौन: जीवन का ऊर्जा-आयाम
- 3. युवक कौन
- 4. युवा चित्त का जन्म
- 5. विद्रोह क्या है
Three of these chapter titles have appeared alone in other contexts. One of course is Yuvak Aur Yon itself, another Yuvak Kaun? (युवक कौन?) and a third Vidroh Kya Hai? (विद्रोह क्या है?). It is not unlikely that all three appeared first as separate single-discourse booklets before being amalgamated into the five-chapter Yuvak. -- doofus-9 (talk) 00:01, 25 September 2014 (PDT)
