The Last Testament, Vol 1
- At the commune in America, for the first time ever Osho grants interviews to the world media. Included are questions from Good Morning America, Der Spiegel, 60 Minutes (Australia), The Guardian (England), Panorama (Italy), Portland TV, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and others. In dynamic, often humorous and always intimate exchanges, Osho talks with reporters about why he chose to break his years of silence, his views on the Pope, how the world can save itself from global suicide, and his own reputation as the "free sex guru." These interviews continue into the World Tour, after a break of a few weeks.
