Rich: In spite of all the historical events surrounding J Krishnamurti, I
have to speak from personal experience. My exposure to his speeches,
books and videos have helped me to better understand practical
application of Thosophical ideas in day to day life. So I am eternally
grateful for the benefit I have received. This happened after several
decades of exposure to Theosophy. It almost took two and half decades to
make the connection.

I thought I should share with everyone.
