This website was inspired by an article by the author Chili Prepper, who raised the question of whether, on the 40th anniversary of Krishnamurti’s death, he might be remembered in a different way.
That article led to the desire to develop this site into a place where people interested in Jiddu Krishnamurti can connect, with the aim of bringing his teachings more strongly into the world—simply to make the name Krishnamurti better known, and also in the hope of fostering individual clarity and healing on Earth. Ideally, projects would emerge from this site, which was the original idea.
Unfortunately, even in 2026, Krishnamurti is pretty unknown, or people associate him, because of his name, with the Hare Krishna movement, and remain unaware that Krishnamurti and the Hare Krishna movement had nothing in common. Krishnamurti was, without question, of a completely different caliber. In his time, he established himself as one of the most critical minds and iconoclasts of his era, exploring the human mind in all its nuances and depths through countless talks and dialogues, with the intention of reducing the self-created suffering of humanity.
Shockingly, the threats and crises of our time are multiplying—and not just subjectively. It is therefore essential for us to have a voice like Krishnamurti’s, one that has the potential to quiet the madness of this world.
Naturally, the question arises: why should one promote Krishnamurti’s teaching if even Krishnamurti himself did not achieve any lasting success with it?
As the administrator of this website, my answer is that it feels right and meaningful to devote one’s life energy to it. Even if this effort should ultimately lead nowhere, the wish to strengthen Krishnamurti’s presence in our time is, in itself, the right thing to do.
This website aims to support and amplify Krishnamurti’s voice, but not to be limited by it. It may go beyond it or include other topics, provided that the essence of Krishnamurti’s teaching remains at its core.
For someone like me, who has spent decades studying Krishnamurti, his understanding of the word “creativity” still remains shrouded in mystery. Yet the same could be said of the Krishnamurti world itself. Creativity seems to be a foreign word there as well. Although that does not necessarily have to remain the case.
At the risk—not of questions of interpretation, but of putting words into Krishnamurti’s mouth that he never actually said—I would suggest that he might have remarked:
“A little creativity in the way we promote the teaching could be fun!”
That said, one should not expect too much from me as the administrator of this website, not least because of the technical challenges involved. Furthermore, it is impossible to predict whether the Krishnamurti Café will develop enough resonance to amplify Krishnamurti’s voice in the world. We shall see where this website ultimately leads.
Despite all the uncertainties and unpredictability that accompany a web project of this kind—regarding both its purpose and its success—I feel that the most fitting closing words for this section are:
“Let’s have some fun!”
As the administrator of this site, my answer is simple: it feels right and meaningful to devote life energy to it. Even if this effort leads nowhere, the wish to strengthen Krishnamurti’s presence in our time is right in itself.
This site aims to support Krishnamurti’s voice without being limited by it. It is open to going beyond it or including other topics, as long as they carry, at their core, the essence of his teachings.
For someone like me, who has engaged with Krishnamurti for decades, his understanding of the word “creativity” still remains something of a mystery—but the same can be said of the Krishnamurti world itself, which rarely stands out for its creativity. That said, this does not have to remain the case, and we can change that.
At the risk—not of misinterpretation, but of putting words into Krishnamurti’s mouth—I would say: perhaps he might have remarked, “This could be fun.”
At the same time, one should not expect too much from me as the administrator of this site, not least because of technical challenges. It is also impossible to predict whether the Krishnamurti Café will generate enough resonance to amplify his voice in the world. We will see where this journey leads.
