Is Krishnamurti Quoteable? (A book review)

Robert Epstein

The Quotable Krishnamurti

(Wheaton, IL : Quest Books, 2011, 176pp.)

 

         There is the true story of the Westerner who goes to India and is asked to give a short talk at a conference. “How long?” he asks. “Not more than two hours” was the reply.  Thus J. Krishnamurti’s short talks were nearly all two hours in length. I used to attend them at Saanen in the Swiss mountains.  Usually one got the point that was to be made in the first 15…

The Meaning of the Swastika

Dear friends,

 

During the first decades of the 20th century the Nazi regime distorted and made criminal use of ancient symbols of eastern philosophies.

 

For example, the sacred symbol of the swastika has become so widely associated with Nazi Germany that it is why it has a negative connotation in the minds of so many people.

 

There is a new article published at the theosophical website …

Being Arjunas

Dear friends,

 

We must learn with the good and less good things that occur in our daily life. Sometimes we think that our cross is heavier that we can load but what we get is what we really need, to remove the veils of illusion and ignorance of our hearts.

 

Robert Crosbie said,

 

“This is a school and everything that comes for us to do contains a lesson for us. ‘We should not forget that, ever. What comes at any…

General Theosophy #48

Bin Laden and the Occult Roots of Afghan War

Dear friends,

We know that HPB wrote about “secret societies created in the Peshawar region, where now Mr. Osama Bin Laden and the taliban have their strongholds in Afghanistan. Those lands include the border region with Pakistan.”

 

We have in our websites a most interesting article entitled:

Freud, Jung, And Ethics

Dear friends,

 

We learn that Theosophy is “divine Ethics”.

 

HPB teaches that “these ethics are the soul of the Wisdom-Religion”, and were promulgated by every initiate, in every times and places.

 

Ethics are also in the center of true Psychology.

 

In our learning process, we should always try that our feelings of disappointment did not overcome the calm and unbiased examination of the facts.

 

We have published in our…
