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
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
A. "Rosalind.....and Krishna's rooms
would be adjacent, each with its own
little balcony and.....Krishna would
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."

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 . . . .

"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
because I was against any form
of nationalism, but I never expected
the Zionists to become racists. It
the Zionists to become racists. It
makes me feel ashamed in my origin:
I feel responsible for the deeds of
Israeli nationalists."
