the christians and mohammedans
that it seems absolutely unbelievable
that in the name of religion there is so much hatred
but if god is a jealous god, if god himself is not nice
then how can the representatives of god be nice?
then how can the pope be nice?
he may pretend but all those pretensions
are of no use in reality
they will talk about love and they will teach hatred
they will preach love
and they will kill in the name of love
madhav is a far more sophisticated vision of god
the sweet one
you can see the difference
jesus was worshipped by the christians
not because he was a loving person
but because he was crucified
hence the cross has become the symbol
not a rose flower
that would have represented jesus more accurately
and you see krishna with a flute
standing in a dancing pose
with peacock feathers in his crown
with bells tingling around his waist
with long hair -- the original hippie
it is a totally different vision of god
madhav is one of the names of krishna
the sweet one
he sings, he plays on his flute, he gathers people
and they dance and they celebrate
it is a totally different kind of world
a different dimension
even hindus have forgotten all about it
they have been contaminated
by christians and mohammedans
they have forgotten their own vision
that's why they are against me
what i am doing here is really
giving people songs again, dances
providing flutes which have disappeared
changing crosses into flutes -- that's my work
and of course crosses can be made into flutes
it is the same wood -- why make crosses?
my only desire is that we are able to transform
all the crosses of the world into flutes
and that every church
starts singing, dancing, swinging
and every church loses its seriousness
that jealous god has to be said goodbye to forever
we have to create a new kind of religiousness
of sweetness, of love,
