KRISHNAMURTI: Can we talk about the wholeness of life? Can one be aware of that wholeness if the fragmented? You can’t be aware of the whole if you are only looking through a small hole. Dr Ssainberg: Right. But on the other hand in actuality you are the whole.

“What of the boy Krishna?” :- The most remarkable thing about Krishnamurti’s life was that the prophecies made about him in his youth were fulfilled, yet in a very different way from what had been expected. For an understanding of his development it is essential to have at least a slight knowledge of the Theosophical mysticism that nurtured him. The Theosophical Society, whose object was ‘to form the nucleus of a Universal Brotherhood of Humanity’, was founded in America in 1875 by that extraordinary Russian mystic, clairvoyamte & miracle worker, Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, & Colonel Henry Steel Olcott, a veteran of the American Civil War who was deeply interested in spiritualism & also calimed clairvoyance. This odd couple, who remained close ‘chums’, as Olcott put it, for the rest of their lives, adopted as their occult creed so many of the ancient traditions of the East that, in 1882, they moved their headquarters to a large compound at Adyar, a suburdb south of Madras, a most beautiful spot where the Adyar river joins the Bay of Bengal, with one of the largest banyan trees in India & a mile of river frontage stretching to an empty, sandy beach. There the International Headqarters of the Society has remained ever since, with more houses built & more land acquired, & from there the movement soon spread all over the world.
