Rajneesh's followers came to

and winning elections, and left many

was not involved in either settlement.
Rajneesh seldom speaks, even to
his followers, but also plans to meet
with reporters Saturday and said his
decision to break his silence for ABC
was spontaneous.
"I never decide anything
beforehand. If I feel like speaking, I
speak," he said. "If I feel like being
silent, then there is no other way. And
I never ask myself why."
