From Ojai Talk #1

May 11, 1985 

That's me at the bottom in

the blue shirt. 

This was on Krishnamurti's

 90th birthday, so there were

reporters in the Oak Grove filming the

event. I was out of position (Usually I

sat toward the back of the crowd). 

He happened to shake hands with some 

of the people as he passed by, something

he rarely did in the U.S., and I was one of them.

Took this picture while standing

in Libbey Park.

The Ojai Arcade, seen in the background,

was built in 1917 and funded by 

Edward Libbey, founder of the

Libbey glass company.

"I earn my living as you earn yours.  

I speak, and I am asked to go to 

different parts of the world.  Those 

who ask me to go, pay for it.  If they 

do not ask, if I do not talk, it is alright. 

For me, talking is not a means of 

self-expression or exploitation.  

I do not find gratification in it; it is 

not a means of exploiting you or 

getting your money, because I do 

not want you to do any charity, to 

believe this or not to believe that." 

  (Rajahumundry, November, 1949)
