synopsis: Interview. Announcements by Ma Prem Savita : James Conaway from Washington Post.; CD-ROM on this chapter: Interview with James Conaway, Washington Post, Washington DC.

Question 1

Bhagwan, the United States government owns a vast amount of land in the West, about half of the West. Some of this land is within your domain here on the Ranch. Could you tell me what you think of the policies of the United States government with regard to land management and the people who use their land here?

Question 2

Your sentiments are similar to some of the conservative ranchers who live around here in the abstract, since they also feel that the government shouldn't own land and should stay out of the lives of individuals. Considering that and the fact that you have made this land here very productive in the last four years, why is it that so many people dislike you?

Question 3

Why are you so concerned about AIDS?

Question 4

Wouldn't celibacy be one way of avoiding AIDS?

Question 5

This is ostensibly a Christian country. I would be interested to know why you chose America and why you chose the American West?

Question 6

You have lived in the West now for several years. What does the American West mean to you?

Question 7

Edited excerpt: 15min 48sec, questions 7-8 **

How important do you think the use of the land is in general, in terms of the development of human spirituality or society? Is it an important value?

Question 8

But are you in favor of advanced technology? You seem to be.

Question 9

Do you worry about the statements that you make about American politicians and about the local controversies regarding land use and other things as endangering the Ranch here?

Question 10

What would you eventually like to create here?

Question 11

Sex is also unhygienic?

Question 12

You're a sensual man?

Question 13

Rubber gloves and condoms detract from sensuality.

Question 14

What is going to happen to this community when you are gone?

Question 15

Why do you like rolls royces so much?
