I am going to take all that hatred and turn it into something positive, something spiritual, something almost holy. I am truly a peaceful man; but, once provoked I become an animal. Tonight I will turn a Universe of doubters and discriminators into believers. The entire world will discover what India already knows. I am the modern day Maharaja." He then finishes the interview in Punjabi.
