Member Statement

Life is like a tamrind fruit bound in its shell. The fruit is what we are, we enjoy/suffer, experience willingly/unwillingly/unwittingly,and the boundaries are the outer world beyond our "I" s./"me"s.In Tamil they say, live your life like the Tamarindfruit i.e. bound and at the sametime unbound, ready to drop out of your shell-this ,one may interpret ,"as ready to drop out of your life here on Earth".Attachment are the fibres of the fruit to the shell,as I see it, THOUGHTS are the fibre-bonds that keep us bound to an "I"/my:LIFE here on Earth.

If you had to sum up what Krishnamurti is all about in just a few words of your own, what would they be?

On the fateful day I swam the sea at Elliots Beach, Madras/Chennai 1972, I came across this gentle soul called JK talking to thousands in a park quietening the restless minds,I had no question to ask but only irritation over the exhibitionism of the people around me,they did not sound genuine inquirers to my ears,they were testing the patience of this saint of a man called J.Krishnamurti Then on, changed my life for the better or the worse, still I cannot fathom or evaluate....

Do you think it advisable to introduce Krishnamurti to people you know? Have you ever done it and if yes, what are your experiences?

Many a time. But then ,either people are inclined to listen, explore, study,watch,discuss with me or they totally reject JK outright. I have met violent reactions and calling me names etc.
One of my closest relative said that I would never prosper in my life as l.ong as I followed JK`s words.. still I wonder....if he was right....

Do you think Krishnamurti was exceptional, or is the transformation he spoke of universally accessible?

Jk was exceptional in sharing his thoughts through words howevever difficult it might have been to put in words the IMMEASURABLE ,Undescribable!The transformation he spoke , I strongly believe is accessible. To gain access one has to lose ones bonds to the CENTRE i.e. Awareness is actual when one completely loses all bonds with the me/the Ego/the"I"
