- Interview. Announcements by Ma Prem Hasya or Ma Prem Isabel? : Rainer Paul from Der Spiegel, Germany (questions 1-22); Mary Thornton, Washington Post (q.23-60).
- CD-ROM on this chapter: Interview with Rainer Paul, Der Spiegel, Germany; and Mary Thornton, the Washington Post, USA.
- Question 1 : Rainer Paul, Der Spiegel, Germany
- I would appreciate short answers whenever possible. You declared the end of Rajneeshism as a religion and had the book on that religion burned in all your communes. Why did you do it this week and not last year, and not one year from now?
- Question 2
- An American law?
- Question 3
- Could you imagine a situation when you would need Sheela back, who after all was not a bad manager in building this commune? Do you expect her to be back?
- Question 4
- Do you have a job for her?
- Question 5
- Do you think they know that the door is open?
- Question 6
- But they are not that old. They can use it to the end of their lives.
- Question 7
- So it belongs to you, or to this commune.
- Question 8
- You declared that mala and the red clothes no longer necessary, they served their purpose. What was that purpose, and what happened that they are no longer a must?
- Question 9
- How many disciples would you like to have?
- Question 10
- Can we expect similar surprises in the near future as far as the organization of the Bhagwan movement is concerned? Do you have any grand vision, any plan for the future?
- Question 11
- What is your answer to the rumor that Sheela only left to prepare a new nest for you in the black forest or somewhere else? So tell us, when will you leave?
- Question 12
- Period?
- Question 13
- The INS, on the other hand, is keeping the file alive in questioning the legal status of your stay in this country....
- Question 14
- Excuse me, sir, may I end my question?
- Question 15
- No, I didn't want to do that.
- Question 16
- I would like to end the question with the INS.
- Question 17
- But you often named an elegant, simple and fast solution for the INS thing, so let me ask you: When will you marry an American girl?
- Question 18
- How many would you like to marry?
- Question 19
- If you were in the position to set up an educational plan for schoolchildren, what would be your values?
- Question 20
- What about Ronald Reagan?
- Question 21
- Since Sheela left, there have been apparent changes in the mood and appearance of the commune. For instance, I didn't see the gun placed in the window of the car following yours yesterday. Do you like to see the security force thinned out? When did you last receive a death threat?
- Question 22
- So how do we get the message to the Soviet Union?
- Question 23 : Mary Thornton, the Washington Post, USA
- Excuse me if I ask stupid questions.
- Question 24
- With all the turmoil after Sheela's departure, what will happen now to the commune, do you think?
- Question 25
- You just go on as usual?
- Question 26
- Are you not very disappointed in her?
- Question 27
- Why?
- Question 28
- Did you not trust her?
- Question 29
- You just said that you're not a religion. What is this then?
- Question 30
- What are you to these people now?
- Question 31
- You seem to be more than that.
- Question 32
- Will you help the FBI in the investigation?
- Question 33
- Do you expect that they will convict you of something?
- Question 34
- Do you think Sheela committed crimes?
- Question 35
- Do you understand why?
- Question 36
- But it seems like something to be bothered about when you've got to have the FBI and eight law enforcement agencies....
- Question 37
- Some of the authorities here have not been totally fair in the past. Does it not worry you to have them snooping around?
- Question 38
- But aren't you afraid they might use this as an opportunity to come back at you?
- Question 39
- Sheela's been accused of setting up an electronic eavesdropping network. Do you know what she wanted to hear, what it was for?
- Question 40
- When did you first realize that?
- Question 41
- Do you know how?
- Question 42
- What is that?
- Question 43
- What was she giving them?
- Question 44
- She came to you?
- Question 45
- Who bugged them?
- Question 46
- Why?
- Question 47
- But we're all so boring!
- Question 48
- Why?
- Question 49
- Does she have the tapes still?
- Question 50
- Did you talk to her about these crimes?
- Question 51
- Are you going to stay here too?
- Question 52
- I was going to ask about the financial stuff, too. Has she taken lots of money?
- Question 53
- So you're still financially sound, there's no problem?
- Question 54
- In her interview she has complained about Rolls Royces and things like that. What do you think of...?
- Question 55
- So she's making that up? She's just lying?
- Question 56
- How do you keep craziness like this from happening again?
- Question 57
- Why did you stop speaking?
- Question 58
- So you just use one car now?
- Question 59
- What made you start talking again?
- Question 60
- So you knew, you began to see something was wrong?
