Imp: Reading will continue of Monday, 18 June 2018
We read as far as "Our Chris-Na-Murty!' (472.15)
Juan seems to be finally leaving. The 28 +1 Biddies are passing on their good bye wishes to him; for example, they wish ' May your bawny hair grow rarer and fairer, our own only wideheaded boy!' (.... our one and only white bodied boy?). They call him by many names: Huan (= Shaun, Juan?), Joss-el-Jovan (Joss: European name for a Chinese household god; el: Old Testament name for god; Jovan: Jupiter, Jehovah)* and Chris-na-Murty (Krishnamurti)**

** Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895 -1986), a speaker, philosopher, writer, who was initiated by Annie Besant into the Theosophical Society and groomed to become its World Teacher. An experience he had in 1922 finally led him to quit Theosophical Society. Krishnamurti did become an acknowledged 'teacher' of how to lead one's life. He also established schools in India and UK, where he wanted that children will be brought up free of usual prejudices and be able to realise their true potential.
