Starting a "K" Group in Cambridge

[Mitu]

Greetings Everyone!

My name is Mitu. I'm quite passionate and have been very moved by the
teachings of Krishnamurti for the past 3-4 years when I came across
his posthumous page online and watched a captivating video clip of his
footage on living/dying and fear, which totally resonated with me
internally. Since then, I've been hooked on K, have traveled to his
home in Ojai and to two of his centers in India. I listen to his talks/
dialogues have read various of his books as the themes are timeless
and echo what life is all about and how we must continue to question
it. I've recently moved to Cambridge and really hope to revive this
group by sparking a regular in-person K dialogue group. I was hoping
we could meet weekly on weekends in the Cambridge area. My initial
suggestion would be Sunday afternoons at Cafe Algiers in Harvard
Square, Cambridge, though I'm open to other suggestions. I'd first
like to just reach out to those in this group list, to see who is
interested in jumpstarting this group. I think it would be fascinating
to connect, relate, and I also think its important in the sense that
it could help us further explore our own lives, the lives of those
around us, and the future of our planet itself. Hope to hear from
others.
Best Wishes.
~Warmly,
Mitu

Hello Mitu,

My name is Michael Marchese and I have also started a group meeting here in 

Northampton, MA.  We are listed in the K directory. Currently we meet every two 

weeks on Sunday from 1 to 3:30 pm.  We listen to audio and watch DVD's  followed by 

discussion.  I also have a library of K's work ,along with David Bohm.

So I just wish you well in organizing a K group and I appreciate your deep sense of 

how important this work can be. I am also open to talk to you if you'd like.

Best,

Michael Marchese  "Friends In Dialogue"

Hi Mitu --

Thanks for your email. I would be interested in meeting at Cafe
Algiers to talk about K. I'm likewise passionate about his work.

I recently interviewed a friend and dharma teacher about his time
with Krishnamurti, beginning in the late 1960s until K's death in
1986. The interview will be published on the KFA website in the near future.

More soon...

Hello and Greetings!

I am also interested in meeting. I am a bit further away from most of the

others in the group. I am an artist and professor of photography at UMass, Lowell.

I love Jiddu's teachings, which have helped me a great deal over the past

few years.  I am especially interested in integrating, in what SMALL way

I can, his ideas on education, at the university where I teach.  A system

not designed to promote such philosophies.  Maybe being in the arts

makes it a little more possible, but there's a long way to go.

Please keep me posted on whether the group will meet:  My partner, Arthur

is also interested...so is his son, Cory (he'll be away in Berlin studying until

summer though.)

Keep me on the list.

Peace to all,

Che
