synopsis
Interview. No announcement heard : unidentified Indian interviewer, man.
CD-ROM on this chapter: Interview by Dharma Yug.
Question 1
Please discuss the state of Indian philosophy as you see it.
Question 2
What do you say about Vedic culture, Vedas, Upanishads, Gita and Mansoor?
Question 3
Buddhism and Jainism are quite contrary to your own darshan. Then why do you quote Lord Buddha and Mahavira so favorably?
Question 4
Will you synchronize spirituality and sex?
Question 5
Gandhi could not keep the vow.
Question 6
You earn an unprecedented response for your frank and straightforward darshan, where there is no place for hypocrisy. I think you left India because of orthodox thinking -- hypocrisy forced you to leave India. But in America too, you became the victim of the same hypocrisy and double standard.
Question 7
In India there is a feeling that the defectors -- the former disciples of yours -- were in a conspiracy to create this problem in America for you. Is it true?
Question 8
Indian culture is a very tolerant culture. Have you seen this difference when you were living in America for five years?
Question 9
Though you remain quite controversial in India, the inhuman and shabby treatment given you by the Americans has generated a sense of sympathy. What are your feelings about this?
Question 10
Any message for Indians in India and abroad?
