Dissemination of the Teachings
One of the Centre's primary functions is to help with the dissemination work of Krishnamurti's teachings. This happens mainly through distribution of Krishnamurti's books, sale of a limited number of pre-recorded audio and video tapes, participation in book fairs & exhibitions, and holding of gatherings and public meetings in various towns, cities of Karnataka.
Thursday Meetings (weekly): Staff and guests meet to see a video and discuss. This is mainly to bring together the staff staying on the campus to consider questions related to the teachings. Study centre guests and visitors can also participate. These meetings are generally one hour long. We watch a video of Krishnaji responding to questions for 20-30 minutes followed with dialogue. This meeting is held at the Study Centre.
First Sunday Meetings: Meetings are organized for people interested in Krishnaji’s Teachings living in Bangalore. The meeting is held on First Sunday of every month from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM at the Valley School campus. The half a day session includes Krishnamurti video session and dialogue. Guest speakers are invited. Free transport and lunch is arranged for all the participants.
