Dear Friends,

A new version of jkrishnamurti.org was recently released. The revamped website is an exhaustive repository of the teachings in text, audio and video format, including several new informative features and links to worldwide activities.

A joint effort of the international Krishnamurti Foundations, this is a unique initiative to make the teachings of J. Krishnamurti freely available and to guarantee authenticity.

Feel free to contact us with any feedback.

I started out having a dialogue with myself. I asked myself what is this strange thing called love; everybody talks about it, writes about it – all the romantic poems, pictures, sex and all other areas of it? I ask: is there such a thing as love? I see it does not exist when there is jealousy, hatred, fear. So I am not concerned with love anymore; I am concerned with ‘what is’, my fear, my attachment. Why am I attached? I see that one of the reasons – I do not say it is the whole reason – is that I am desperately lonely, isolated. The older I grow the more isolated I become. So I watch it. This is a challenge to find out, and because it is a challenge all energy is there to respond. That is simple. If there is some catastrophe, an accident or whatever it is, it is a challenge and I have the energy to meet it. I do not have to ask: “How do I get this energy?” When the house is on fire I have the energy to move; extraordinary energy. I do not sit back and say: “Well, I must get this energy” and then wait; the whole house will be burned by then.

– J. Krishnamurti

They represent the earliest sound films of Krishnamurti speaking to audiences – it was the first time that he had allowed his talks and discussion groups to be filmed. The principal settings are the Oak Grove in Ojai, California, and the Thacher School in the Ojai Valley.
