Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 2, No. 9. June 7, 1939

Krishnamurti

Krishnamurti

An interesting visitor to Wellington this week is Mr. J. Krishnamurti. He is usually described as a Hindu philosopher, but actually he is an Indian by birth only—his outlook is international.

Krishnamurti claims that through understanding suffering he has become ecstatically free and that others may do likewise. But he does not offer any set rules—only suggests that people try to think and act for themselves, cultivate an alert, questioning attitude, face problems instead of avoiding them, and in so doing discover the Reality or which we are practically unconscious.

Krishnamurti will speak at the Dominion Museum Hall on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday evenings, the 7th, 8th and 9th June, at 8 p.m. Those interested should obtain their tickets from the D.I.C. as early as possible, as the accommodation is extremely limited.
