Gymnasium

I heard K speak here in 1978. 
He sat on the stage surrounded by
potted flowers. I remember the
annoying squeak those two doors
off to the right made throughout
the talk when people entered or
left. 
I sat on the bleacher off to the left
about half way up. I was surprised
to recognize Hollywood actress
Anne Francis with a companion
sitting just off to my left. Anne
starred in the classic science
fiction film "Forbidden Planet"
in 1956, and later starred in
the television series "Honey West." 
In the early 2000's I sent her a
letter asking if she had been the person 
sitting there. She kindly
responded with the letter below.
She passed away 8 years later at
the age of 80. 
No talks were held that year in the 
Oak Grove due to flooding, so K had to
speak at either Libbey Park or at  
Nordhoff High School

"That is the real need of the present 
time - how to be a light to ourselves, 
how to be free from all the 
authoritative, hierarchical attitude 
to life, so that each one of us is 
a light to oneself." 
 
 
 
 
Q. #21 
What sort of business was 
Krishnamurti involved in during summer 
stays with the Rajagopals at the 
Peter Pan lodge in the 
Carmel Highlands? 

A. "Rosalind.....and Krishna's rooms 
would be adjacent, each with its own 
little balcony and.....Krishna would
 take the tremendous risk of jumping
 Errol Flynn style between the two to 
come into her room at night. It was 
very much Krinsh's and my mother's 
time together. I can see him sitting 
on the edge of her bed and massaging 
cold cream on to her face. She always 
dressed well and carefully and took care 
of her face and hair, but had she not 
done so he would certainly have seen 
to it that she did....Where my father 
was on these occasions I do not know.
 He is not part of my memories in Carmel.
It is Krinsh that I remember vividly, 
laughing often, particularly when he
 was with my mother. Our world then
 seemed flooded with joy and gentleness - 
and love."

Hey!
That's me in 1953;
counting on my fingers how many 
photos of Krishnamurti 
I'll accumulate over the next
70 years. 

About this many . . . .
 







Remember the "Monkeypox"

"Of all the countries benefiting 
from European civilization, only 
South Africa and Israel have racial laws 
that distinguish between rights of 
different groups of citizens. The Jews 
were against Hitler’s racism, but 
theirs goes one step further. They 
determine Jewishness by mother 
alone. I opposed Zionism initially 
because I was against any form 
of nationalism, but I never expected
the Zionists to become racists. It 
makes me feel ashamed in my origin: 
I feel responsible for the deeds of 
Israeli nationalists."
