1993 tapes-jacket: Interview by Radio Ostradani. Copy of OMC-archive.
Question 1
You always say that you are not the doer of what is happening around you. Still, the general tendency is to see you as the star in it all.
Can you please describe yourself and the movement that is existing around you and its evolution throughout all these years?
Question 2
People from the outside looking at you and your friends are confused. They talk about brainwashing, while you are talking about deconditioning. If the surrender of your people to you is not escapism into a hedonistic dream, what is it then?
Question 3
In all these years, many people came to you, many have left again. You once said that if two percent of the world's population start to meditate this world would be saved. Will your sannyasins and friends be enough to turn the wheel around?
Question 4
What do you think about people who drop sannyas?
Question 5
For many, this world tour looks like a new beginning. Can you comment on this new phase of your work?
Question 6
Seeing the way the media works, one gets the impression that man loves to be manipulated. Why does man want to be cheated?
Question 7
Even your peaceful experiment in Oregon has been destroyed by American power. Many people who saw this happen doubt the possibility that a new man and an environment for him to grow in can be created. Can you please comment?
Question 8
Women in Italy contest that fact that it is you, a man, who is giving them an equal position in the world, rather than women themselves taking what is their birthright. Can you please comment on this?
Question 9
Money is considered one of the greatest inventions to liberate man, and as a means it has a good function. Don't you think that eliminating the use of money will lead to another barbarous world? What in your vision can be substituted for money in the world at large?
Question 10
A child will always be helpless. It seems to be impossible to avoid the conditioning process that starts from the day the child is born. How can this be changed?
Question 11
Many people in Italy criticize the fact that you teach pure hedonism which does not give any evolution to man, but only a daily satisfaction.
Please comment.
