- Interview. Questions read by Ma Prem Maneesha : these questions are from Italian magazine Oggi.
- 1993 tapes-jacket: Interview by Oggi, Italy.
- Question 1
- Why are you going to Italy?
- Question 2
- What do you know about Italy and the Italian people?
- Question 3
- Is it true that you are an admirer of Saint Francis of Assisi?
- Question 4
- Saint Francis of Assisi used to travel by donkey, not by Rolls Royce. Can you please comment?
- Question 5
- In Italy we have the Vatican, the citadel of the Pope. You are against him and the Catholic religion. Why?
- Question 6
- Don't you think that your aversion to, and criticism of the Pope will cause you a lot of trouble?
- Question 7
- You wanted to challenge the Pope to a public debate during his last travel to India, but it didn't happen. Why?
- Particularly on which points did you want to contest with the Pope?
- Question 8
- You are also against Mother Teresa of Calcutta, but who will take care of the poor, the sick, the orphans and the starving people?
- Question 9
- You are against the family, against God, against poverty. Consequently, I argue that you are only for the perfect and rich people. Is that so?
- Question 10
- You are for total birth control and for free euthanasia for those over seventy-five years of age. I feel that all this is very similar to the Nazi ideology. Please comment.
- Question 11
- If somebody wants to become a sannyasin, what should he do? And what if he wants to drop out again?
- Question 12
- If you are an ordinary human being, why do you accept this form of veneration from your followers?
- Question 13
- And now you are in Crete -- by chance or deliberately? You certainly know that this island was the cradle of Western civilization, and the people of that time were wearing purple clothes. But it was also a center of the pirates during the Roman empire. Are you a founder of a new civilization or a pirate of consciousness?
