synopsis
Interview. No announcement heard : unidentified Indian interviewer, man.
CD-ROM on this chapter: Interview by Punjab Keshari.
Question 1
Bhagwan, we are from Punjab Keshari, a Hindi newspaper from Gallanter. On directions from our paper, we have come here to request you to enlighten us on some questions, with your kind permission to write in papers.
You had come to America for treatment. Have you completely recovered? What about your backache?
Question 2
My next question is: Do you suspect any government hand behind Ma Anand Sheela's falling apart from you?
Question 3
You have declared abandoning of Rajneeshism. Will you not impart teachings or give blessings in future, maybe newcomers or the old ones?
Question 4
You have launched bitter criticism on American government. Is it in retaliation to their behaviour with you, or an attempt to appeal other socialist and communist countries?
Question 5
How is it that at Poona ashram and Rajneeshpuram in America the local people could not tolerate your setting up of communes? Do you want to set up one in Madhya Pradesh, or elsewhere in future? What are your future plans?
Question 6
You might have gone through, or you might have been told about the reporting carried by Punjab Kesari about you and your sect. How do you feel about freedom of press in comparison in America.
Question 7
It is said that at present you are facing financial stringencies. Is it for this reason that that fleet of Rolls Royce cars is being disposed of at Rajneeshpuram. Do you plan abandoning of Poona ashram also?
Question 8
What exactly are your teachings about sex? How does it relate to the cultural heritage in India?
Question 9
Why is something as simple as meditation considered threatening?
Question 10
Have you any plans to visit Russia, China, or any other foreign countries in the near future?
Question 11
Is it correct that you and your disciples succeeded in giving a dodge to custom people at Delhi airport?
Question 12
Had you come to Kulu valley earlier also for meditation? If so, do you remember some local person who may have accompanied you at that time? Have you any plans to make to meet the state chief minister?
Question 13
Why Ma Anand Sheela betrayed commune? Is it a fact that Mr Vinod Kanna is also thinking of returning to film industry? Can he do it while remaining president of Rajneesh Friends International, Indian section?
