Question:
Give us your views on sex and its role in transcendence. (R.K. Karanjia, editor, Blitz)
"The priests have tremendously harmed the human heart, human
consciousness. They have put this poisonous idea in man that life is something ugly.... I
am bringing a new vision of religion to the world. Accept life in its multidimensions,
enjoy it, celebrate it, rejoice in it. Renunciation is not my way, but rejoicing. Fasting
is not my way, but feasting. And to be festive is to be religious. My definition of
religion is the festive dimension. Celebrate your sex, it is a God-given gift. Celebrate
your body, it is God's grace. Celebrate each moment that has been given to you, each
breath, each heartbeat. It is such a benediction."
