Would you talk about Sheela and her gang?
My God!
Such an old story.
…instead of being a meditation commune
they had turned it into a fascist concentration camp.
First,
they tried to kill three people,
three people who were very close to me:
my physician, my dentist
and my caretaker. Because these were the three people
who had the opportunity to meet me, except Sheela.
She wanted nobody to meet me,
for the simple reason
because they may inform me what is going on
in the commune and what she is doing there.
So finally they decided that these three people have to be given slow poison.
Now there are witnesses who participated in their meetings,
but they were afraid that if these people can kill
my physician, they can kill anybody.
they tried to poison the water system in The Dalles.
They did not succeed in it,
but they made every attempt.
Now, these people are absolutely criminals,
inhuman, brutal,
fascist in their outlook.
There was an outbreak of salmonella last year in The Dalles.
Do you believe that these sannyasins had anything to do with that? Yes.
Do you have any evidence of that?
Evidence police will have to find,
but my sannyasins have much information about it.
You are saying that the commune should feel grateful
because Sheela
burnt
the planning office of Wasco County?
that she tried to poison
one of the judges of Wasco County
and one of the attorneys of Jefferson County?
that she tried to kill
Doctor Devaraj and Vivek,
here
in the commune?
They could have killed me.
Perhaps, after killing those three people
who are taking care of my health,
they would have started slowly poisoning me,
so they become absolute dictators in the commune.
They had made a clandestine
lab in their house,
where they had all kinds of poisons, viruses.
Sheela had a bank account in Switzerland.
The bank account
is in the name of Sheela and Savita --
and the account is not small.
She has done every criminal act.
You will be surprised: even
in my
videotapes --
in the original copy
she has changed
everything that will go sometime against her. Sheela never wanted anybody to be close to me,
I am trying to make you absolutely
apolitical,
with no desire for power;
and these were using you
and your strength
for their own ambitions.
Sheela never meditated.
Not only that, you must have observed,
she never even listened.
While I was speaking she was sleeping.
The only person who has betrayed is Sheela.
She did not even come to say goodbye to me.
She escaped like a thief,
a murderer.
I sent a message to her that, “See the point.
Your real excitement was becoming
a celebrity –
on the television, on the radio, in the magazines, in the newspapers.
You enjoyed your name, your photograph;
now this will not be possible. I am speaking myself.
I am speaking to the whole world press.
And certainly you cannot represent me.”
“But remember,
if my silence makes you happy,
then my absence may make you happier.
Perhaps, deep down,
my death will be the right thing for you.
Then you can become the head.
Nobody will be there to prevent you.”
Something deep inside herself was longing for my death.
to see the words “Beloved Bhagwan” from these people
makes me sick.
So what you see
is not always the whole truth;
there is much more behind it.
Sheela seems to be
really getting insane.
I have never made love to her, that much is certain.
Perhaps that is the jealousy.
She always wanted,
but I have made it a point: Never make love to a secretary.
