Jiddu Krishnamurti
The Krishnamurti centre Summer Hill Breeze
The opening of the new K centre was quite successful with a host of people calling in and sharing thoughts, nibbles and a sunny afternoon. Our neighbours, a small art gallery, had an opening also, with a new exhibition of bird prints and paintings which added an even greater level of activity to the locality. Andrew and the committee had also produced a centre brochure and flyer which was available for people to peruse or take away. We also sold second hand books donated by various people
Geetha has put together an opening timetable which is presented below, so come along and share some Krishnamurti study or dialogue with our friendly centre coordinators.

Krishnamurti on education:
There is a questioning today of the basic postulates of the educational structure and its various systems in India and in the rest of the world. At all levels there is a growing realization that the existing models have failed and that there is a total lack of relevance between the human being and the complex, contemporary society.
The ecological crisis and increasing poverty, hunger and violence, are forcing man inevitably to face the realities of the human situation. At a time like this, a completely new approach to the postulates of education is necessary. Krishnamurti questions the roots of our culture. His challenge is addressed not only to the structure of education but to the nature and quality of man's mind and life.
Unlike all other attempts to salvage or suggest alternatives to the educational system, Krishnamurti's approach breaks through frontiers of particular cultures and establishes an entirely new set of values, which in turn can create a new civilization and a new society.

Krishnamurti:
I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. That is my point of view, and I adhere to that absolutely and unconditionally. Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organised; nor should any organisation be formed to lead or coerce people along any particular path. If you first understand that, then you will see how impossible it is to organise a belief. A belief is purely an individual matter, and you cannot and must not organise it. If you do, it becomes dead, crystallised; it becomes a creed, a sect, a religion, to be imposed on others. This is what everyone throughout the world is attempting to do. Truth is narrowed down and made a plaything for those who are weak, for those who are only momentarily discontented. Truth cannot be brought down, rather the individual must make the effort to ascend to it. You cannot bring the mountain-top to the valley....

The Committee of Volunteers of Krishnamurti Australia wish to express their deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Charlie Rufus.
Charlie was much loved by his friends and colleagues in Krishnamurti Australia and he was highly respected by a global network of Krishnamurti enthusiasts. For the past two decades Charlie has volunteered his time generously and worked enthusiastically to represent Krishnamurti’s teachings on the World Wide Web. We have been fortunate to have him on our team and have benefited greatly from his expertise in this area. We all learned from his delightful presence and his good humoured and caring approach to life. Due to his commitment he has introduced many new members to the timeless inquiry inspired by Jiddu Krishnamurti. Charlie will always remain in our hearts as a gentle human being who enriched our lives and his efforts have inspired us to continue with the work which he considered so important. It has been an honour and joy to have known and worked with him over the past several years. Although he was known as the mastermind behind computers, he had his computer set up in such a way as to look out on to his garden where he could admire the greater wonder of nature at work. He was one of the most caring and delightful persons to know and he will always be remembered for his warmth, clarity and gentle good humour. Farewell Charlie. | |
