synopsis
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?
