Baba
Way to publish Baba's discourses
Namaskar,
Some have raised the matter about proofing / approving Baba's books before publishing them. They want to know what is the given system.
The approach for confirming Guru's discourses is very straightforward. Here are the steps:
1. Transcription: One must listen to Guru's discourse and ensure it has been transcribed accurately. It is simple: What Guru spoke should be written down.
2. When step one is confirmed by publications, the next job is to print / publish the discourse in book form.
3. Side by side the audio recording must be made available to margii readers. That way we can ensure that indeed the published discourse perfectly matches what Baba spoke.
That is the full confirmation process as given by Guru. One need not take any other steps. What Guru spoke should appear in printed form. There is no wiggle room etc. The discourses must be published "as is."
Again, the real review process for confirming Baba's discourses is very simple. The discourse must be transcribed / checked with the sound file and then it should be published, making both the printed discourse and sound file available to all. And there should be a "live" on-line archive.
In Him,
Viireshvar
