Theos-Talk Archives (February 2005 Message tt00502)

Krishnamurti is the 800 lb gorilla present in the living room of 
theosophists, especially in India. At the time the annual convention used 
to take place in Adyar, Krishnamurti was delivering his lectures across the 
river. The TS convention programs are so scheduled so that the delegates 
can go and attend Krishnamurti's lectures. Usually all the delegates 
including most of the officers of TS Adyar will be attending Krishnamurti's 
lectures. With all the questions of freedom we discuss about, the fact is 
that large number of members of TS have attended his lectures and many more 
have read his books, viewed his Videos and listened to his audios. So no 
wonder that many theosophists may be putting into practice the ideas 
contained in his lectures etc.
