Reviews
Krishnamurti died in February 1986 at age 90. He had been discovered by Theosopical Society leader Annie Besant, who groomed him as the Messiah that she had long proclaimed. But Krishnamurti soon rejected this role and organized religion in general, maintaining that it could not teach Truth. This biography is by a close associate who was involved not only in spiritual development but also in national and international politics as a colleague of Indira Gandhi. The treatment is therefore sympathetic but not sycophantic. The last chapters, which reconstruct dialogues between Krishnamurti and his associates, aim to give the essence of his teachingsnot easy reading, but then Krishnmurti was not an easy person to deal with. Until a definitive biography is written, this work will be valuable. Donald J. Pearce, Univ. of Minnesota Lib., Duluth

Februar 1986 in Ojai, Kalifornien) war ein indischer Philosoph. In seinen wichtigsten Veröffentlichungen thematisiert Krishnamurti spirituelle Fragen, wie die Erlangung vollständiger geistiger Freiheit durch Meditation, aber auch religiöse und philosophische Themen. Er wuchs unter dem Einfluss führender Persönlichkeiten der Theosophischen Gesellschaft auf und erlangte Bekanntheit, speziell durch Annie Besant, die ihn 1910 zum kommenden 'Weltlehrer' erklärte und für ihn den theosophischen Order of the Star in the East gründete. Anfang der 1920er Jahre begann er, sich von der theosophischen Strömung loszusagen." (Wikipedia). - Weitere Bilder auf Anfrage oder auf unserer Homepage. Seller Inventory # 403277
