About This Item
New Age Books, New Delhi, India, 2006. First Indian Edition. Softcover. New Book/No Dust Jacket. Krishnamurti was an enigma. He was discovered on an Indian beach at the age of 14 and fulfilling Theosophy's messianic expectations he was brought up to be a World Teacher. When he died in 1986 at the age of 90 Krishnamurti had spent over 60 years expounding a revolutionary and totally original philosophy through his books and talks. Major writers statesmen and scientists were among his admirers and many set him on a par with the great religious teachers of history. This book is an in depth exploration of the life and work of this remarkable man. Incorporating material from his earlier book "The Quest of the Quiet Mind", one of the few books that Krishnamurti read about himself and approved, the author offers a clear and elegant summary of Krishnamurti's teaching. Further he discusses the way in which the indisputable logic and lucidity of the teaching confronts us with the challenge to change.
