The long awaited website for world-wide free access to Krishnamurti’s teachings has been launched. The site, www.jkrishnamurti.org, guarantees the authenticity of a large text collection of all of Krishnamurti’s published works from 1933 to 1986, the equivalent of 200 average-sized books. All site content is searchable and freely downloadable in text format. A selection of video and audio is also available in streaming format, and future plans include adding previously unpublished work to the online text collection, and expanding the video and audio capacity.

Going further
The new website is offered to the public in Beta form, since there is a vast amount of further work that can be done to expand its potential for individuals, scholars, and specialists in various disciplines, such as mental health and welfare, politics, sociology, etc. In addition, almost 50% of Krishnamurti’s lifetime work remains unpublished, and will eventually be added to the site’s resources.

Donors can partner with the foundations
to expand the project

A project of this scope does require considerable funds to reach its potential and the Krishnamurti Foundations are collaborating to communicate their funding needs to supporters. Estimated costs for its first two years of operation are $100,000, covering expansion of the site design, internet hosting, database infrastructure for the search engine, digitization of further text, video and audio materials, and indexing of the collection. Work will also begin on extending the video and audio sections to achieve a complete and searchable library of all published audiovisual materials. Longer range plans include making the site structure and content available in Spanish, French and German, and improving site features to allow users to set up personal accounts to store and share their own collections of texts, quotes, and audio/video.

Although $100,000 represents a sizeable sum in relation to the annual budgets of the Krishnamurti Foundations, the capacity of the project’s availability to anyone in the world with internet access makes the return on investment a good proposition for anyone considering donating to the project.
