Changing Oneself, Changing The World. Genuine Reform, Says Krishnamurti, Can Be Brought About Only By Individuals Who Have Discovered What It Is To Love And To See . In This Radical Text, Which Brings Together Two Of His Most Popular And Influential Works, The Only Revolution And The Urgency Of Change, The Spiritual Teacher Who Rebelled Against Religion Points To A New Order Arising When We Have Ceased To Be Envious And Vicious And Have Died To Everything We Know, For Only Then Can We Give Birth To The Innocence That Allows The Timeless New To Come Into Being . The Traditional Reformer, By Contrast, Merely Patches The Old. It Is Through A Meditative Mind That Dissolves The Distinction Between Oneself And The World That Life Takes On Meaning And The Beauty Of The Heavens And The Earth Is Constant . Krishnamurti Says, Simply: When You Are Not, Love Is. Seeing, He Declares, Is The Greatest Of Skills. In These Pages, Gently, He Helps Us To Open Our Hearts And Our Eyes.
My Teaching, If That Is The Word You Want To Use, Has No Copyright. You Are Free To Reproduce, Distribute, Interpret, Misinterpret, Distort, Garble, Do What You Like, Even Claim Authorship, Without My Consent Or The Permission Of Anybody. Thus Spoke U.G. Krishnamurti In His Uniquely Iconoclastic And Subversive Way, Distancing Himself From Gurus, Spiritual Advisers , Mystics, Sages, Enlightened Philosophers Et Al. Ug S Only Advice Was That People Should Throw Away Their Crutches And Free Themselves From The Stranglehold Of Cultural Conditioning. Uppaluri Gopala Krishnamurti Was Born On 9 July 1918 In Masulipatnam, A Coastal Town In Andhra Pradesh. He Died On 22 March 2007 At The Age Of Eighty-Nine In Vallecrosia, Italy, At The Villa Of A Friend. The Effect That He Had, And Will Continue To Have, On Legions Of His Admirers Is Difficult To Put Into Words. With His Flowing Silvery Hair, Deep-Set Eyes And Elongated Buddha-Like Ears, He Was An Explosive Yet Cleansing Presence And Has Been Variously Described As A Wild Flower Of The Earth , A Bird In Constant Flight , An Anti-Guru And A Cosmic Naxalite . Ug Gave No Lectures Or Discourses And Had No Organization Or Fixed Address, But He Travelled All Over The World To Meet People Who Flocked To Listen To His Anti-Teaching . His Language Was Always Uncompromisingly Simple And Unadorned, His Conversational Style Informal, Intimate, Blasphemous And Invigorating. This Reader, Edited By Long-Time Friend And Admirer Mukunda Rao, Is A Compilation Of Ug S Freewheeling And Radical Utterances And Ideas. Ug Unceasingly Questioned And Demolished The Very Foundations Of Human Thought But, As Rao Says, In The Cathartic Laughter Or The Silence After Ug Had Spoken, There Was A Profound Sense Of Freedom From Illusory Goals And The Tyranny Of Knowledge, Beauty, Goodness, Truth And God .
Taking his cue from the teacher himself, Peter Michel, in this first independent analysis of the most elusive spiritual teacher ever known, has taken an investigative and exploratory stance, rather than the usual pronounciatory one.... A must for any philosophical or theosophical collection. PARUL GUPTA
Looking at relationship, Krishnamurti delves into topics close to each one of us. He discusses his views on sex and love, and explores the word and delusion of chastity. In Chapter 5 he says, The person who has taken the vow of celibacy knows no love, because he is concerned with himself and his own fruition. This is a great book for anyone in a relationship.
This book attempts to explain in detail the notion of non-attachment which is claimed to be of central importance to the understanding of spiritual philosophy of the Hindus as expounded in the Upanishads.

Five Millennia of Prescriptions for Spiritual Healing
Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986) was an independent spiritual teacher writing many books such as Krishnamurti Reader: No. 1, You are the World, Commentaries on living;: First series, from the notebooks of J. Krishnamurti and many others. Mary Lutyens (1908-1999) was a British author best known for her three-volume biography of Jiddu Krishnamurti; the other volumes in this series are Krishnamurti: The Years of Awakening and Krishnamurti: The Open Door. She wrote in the Foreword to this 1983 book, "This second volume of Krishnamurti's biography, which brings the story of his life up to 1980, like the first, has, like the first, been written at his suggestion and with his full co-operation" She says, "Krishnamurti has often been asked about physical healing. He undoubtedly possesses a power of healing but has always played it down" What K was talking about was awareness from moment to moment of all that was taking place inside oneself without any effort to direct or change it---a matter of pure observation, perception, which would result in change without effort." Lutyens' sympathetic, yet detailed and critical biography is "must reading" for anyone wanting to know more about Krishnamurti.
First in the series on Education and Society in South Asia, this volume focuses on the educational thought of a world-renowned teacher, thinker, and writer—Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895–1986). This edited volume examines Krishnamurti’s work and explores his contemporary relevance in educational endeavours and practices in different parts of the country. The contributors to the volume argue that Krishnamurti sought to change the way education is perceived, from the mere teaching of curriculum into a life-changing experience of learning from relationships and life. Through a range of essays that address diverse issues and themes, the contributors seek to uncover the practices and processes at some of the institutions that Krishnamurti established in different parts of rural and urban India. These include essays on curriculum building, inclusive education, pedagogy, debates on educational philosophy and practice, and teacher education. They help bring out the barriers and breakthroughs in the educational processes as practiced in these schools and how they may further be applied to other educational institutions.
Here is a pocket-size collection of teachings from J. Krishnamurti, one of the most influential spiritual figures of the twentieth century. With great insight and immediacy, these teachings explore what Krishnamurti calls “the art of living.” He addresses such topics as the way of life without conflict; skill and clarity in action; living and dying; and meditation and the sacred in daily life. This previously unpublished material comes together to create a little gem to be taken to heart in living our lives simply and intelligently.
