- INTERVIEW ON "THE OTHER HOUR" WRVR-FM RADIO
-
- [On 3 July 1977 Sri Chinmoy was the guest on "The Other Hour", a radio
- program broadcast live in New York on radio station WRVR. Following is
- a transcript of the interview.]

-
- Donna Halper:
-
- Now we're going to accept calls from our listening audience. Here's
- our first call. Good evening. You are on the air.
-
- Caller:
-
- I am particularly interested in astral projection. I had an experience
- three years ago where I left my body. I had just read about this some
- time before that, but I didn't do it consciously. It just happened to
- me. Since then I have been trying to do it consciously. I would like
- to ask Sri Chinmoy if this is safe. Is it a safe thing to go into by
- myself?
-
- Donna Halper:
-
- Interesting question. Astral projection, leaving the body. Can people
- actually do this?
-
- Sri Chinmoy:
-
- People can do this, but it is advisable to have a teacher who is well
- qualified in this adventure. Otherwise, it can be a very dangerous
- thing. It is like learning to drive a car. One needs a teacher in the
- beginning. If someone tries to learn driving by himself, he is very
- likely to have an accident.
-
- Donna Halper:
-
- What can a teacher teach one about leaving the body?
-
- Sri Chinmoy:
-
- Everything can be taught by a qualified teacher. If one can learn a
- language from a teacher, if one can learn music, if one can learn to
- dance, one can learn this also.
-
- Caller:
-
- I would like to ask the Guru what kind of mental attitude one should
- have in learning to play music...
