The "KRISHNAMURTI
LIBRARY", an official non profitable association, was founded
on 29th October 1986 with the purpose of making Krishnamurti's
work available to anyone interested in studying it and helping
preserve it undistorted.
The KRISHNAMURTI LIBRARY of Athens functions without any of the
usual negative attributes of groups or organizations. It is housed in a very
small apartment in Athens, where one can find all of Krishnamurti/s books in
greek and English, all of the video-tapes, some of them dubbed or subtitled in
greek, a few audio cassettes and a computer with the CD ROM KRISHNAMURTI
TEXT COLLECTION AND INDEX software. For access to the available material all
that is needed is a simple phone call (01-64 32 605) in order to fix an appointmnet
(Monday through Friday, 11.00-17.00), and one can stay in the Library
as long as one wishes to study in all privacy. There is no fee required. One
can
also get information by sending an e-mail to info@kathens.org
The KRISHNAMURTI LIBRARY attends to the translations and publications
of Krishnamurti/s books, as well as to the dubbing and subtitling of his video-tapes
in greek. It does not sell or hire out anything, it does not receive contributions
of any kind and in general it is not involved in financial transactions of
any sort. The KRISHNAMURTI LIBRARY's expenses are covered by money offered by
the
persons who have undertaken the responsibility of its function.
There are people interested in K's work in other parts of Greece
- Corinth, Corfu, North Greece etc.- who meet and have discussions or watch
video-tapes of Krishnamurti talks. Occasionally they contact the KRISHNAMURTI
LIBRARY asking
for information or printed material related to K's work. However, they are
not, and never have been, part of an organised network.
The KRISHNAMURTI LIBRARY moves, hopefully, on the same line with
what Krishnamurti said in one of his earliest talks after he dissolved the
ORDER OF THE STAR:
"If you are really a body of people who are
discovering, not who have found, if you are a body of people who are giving information,
not
giving spiritual distinctions, if you are a body of people that have a really
open platform, not for me or for someone special, if you are a body of people
among whom there are neither leaders nor followers, then there is some hope
for it in the world. (...) In true spirituality there is no distinction of the
teacher
and the pupil, of the man who has knowledge and the man who has not". |
