| alain naude krishnamurti: The Life and Death of Krishnamurti Mary Lutyens, 2012-05-31 J Krishnamurti (1896-1986) was one of the most important spiritual leaders of his time. Discovered by the Theosophist as a boy in India, he was groomed by them as the new Messiah, a role he rejected when he set out independently on his own spiritual quest. Travelling the world, lecturing and teaching, he acquired an enormous following, including many eminent statesmen and intellectuals. As one of Krishnamurti’s closest friends and devotees, Mary Lutyens is uniquely qualified to write his biography. Indeed, she has written three previous volumes on him, but only after his death in 1986 did she feel able to produce this book, bringing the life and philosophy of this fascinating and complex man into true perspective. |

| alain naude krishnamurti: The Inner Life of Krishnamurti Aryel Sanat, 2013-11-01 Aryel Sanat's meticulously researched and cogently argued exploration of Krishnamurti's inner life and experiences explodes a number of popular myths about Krishnamurti, particularly that he denied the existence of the Theosophical Masters and disdained the esoteric side of the spiritual path. Rather, Sanat persuasively demonstrates, Krishnamurti had a rich and intense esoteric life. Moreover, the truths of the Ancient Wisdom, as revealed through the Masters, were a reality to Krishnamurti every day of his life, from his boyhood until his death. The real story of Krishnamurti's inner life is shown to have critical implications for our understanding of Krishnamurti's life and ideas and for our views of Theosophy, Buddhism, the teachings of Gurdjieff---indeed, the entirety of contemporary spiritual thought. |

Pupul Jayakar offers an insider's view of the fascinating life and thought of an extraordinary individual. |

| alain naude krishnamurti: Lives in the Shadow with J. Krishnamurti Radha Rajagopal Sloss, 2011-08-31 For nearly half a century the charismatic, strikingly handsome spiritual teacher J. Krishnamurti gathered an enormous following throughout Europe, India, Australia and North America. From the age of eighteen he was the forerunner of the type of iconoclasm that would bring immediate fame to cult figures in the late twentieth century. Yet recent biographies have left large areas of his life in mystifying darkness. This, however, is no ordinary study of Krishnamurti, for it is written by one whose earliest memories are dominated by his presence as a doting second fathertolerant of pranks and pets, playful and diligent. For over two decades in their Ojai California haven, where Aldous Huxley and other pacifists found respite during the war years,Krinsh developed his philosophical message. He also placed himself at the centre of her parents Rosalind and Rajagopals marriage. In a spirit of tenderness, fairness, objective inquiry, and no little remorse, the author traces the rise of Krishnamurti from obscurity in India by selection of the Theosophical Society to be the vehicle of a new incarnation of their world teacher. Breaking from Theosophy, Krishnamurti inspired his own following, retaining the dedication of his longtime friend Rajagopal, himself highly educated, to oversee all practicalities and the editing and publication of his writings. How this bond of trust was breached and became clouded in confusion with a new wave of devoteeism lies at the heart of this extraordinary story. So does a portrait of intense romantic intimacy and the conundrum of Krishnamurtis own complex character. |
| alain naude krishnamurti: Knocking at the Open Door R.E. Mark Lee, 2016-09-30 J. Krishnamurti (1895-1986) was thought by many to be a modern-day equivalent of the Buddha. In fact, he was once even considered to be the second coming of Christ. While many think it wonderful to live and work in close proximity with such a person, its difficult to understand the depth of what this means and how challenging this might be. In Knocking at the Open Door, author R.E. Mark Lee provides an ordinary person view of what being close-up and working together with such a man means, how it challenges one at every turn, and how it causes one to question ceaselessly, even more deeply than one ordinarily would. Lee offers an insightful, candid, and heartfelt narrative that reveals various unknown facets of the eminent world teacher J. Krishnamurti and highlights his distinctive vision for education worldwide. This comprehensive volume brings alive the practical and everyday interactions Lee had with Krishnamurti during a twenty-year period in India and the United Sates. Knocking at the Open Door shares a clear and honest account that demonstrates the challenges of working with Krishnamurti in running a school that is true to the teaching and yet able to function in the reality of modern parental, student, and educational establishment expectations. |

| alain naude krishnamurti: J. Krishnamurti: A Life of Compassion beyond Boundaries Roshen Dalal, 2020-06-25 Among the most famous visionaries of our times, J. Krishnamurti (1895–1986) continues to transform thought, lifestyles, and education across continents more than three decades after his death. In this new biography, tracing the nine long decades of his life, from his growing-up years, his relationships to his writings and talks, Roshen Dalal provides a much-needed corrective – an objective and balanced view of his legacy. Adopted by Theosophists at the age of fourteen, and proclaimed a world teacher and messiah, in 1929, Krishnamurti dissolved the Order of the Star created for him and went on to develop his own philosophy. What is it about his ideas that draws the following of generations of people? Delivered to a divided world then, what makes his message so relevant now? While his ideas on education are idealistic, why do they continue to be everlasting in their contribution and appeal? Krishnamurti’s vision is of a world without boundaries or wars, a world where compassion and goodness predominate, and his message is that such a world can be arrived at only through individual transformation.B24 There is no direct path to transformation, yet through intense perception and understanding, it is possible to achieve this goal. Carefully reconstructing the events and extracting the essence of his talks, Dalal dispels several myths, explains his teachings, and reveals the underlying theosophical and occult influence in Krishnamurti’s life. Here is the most complete biography yet, of one of the greatest thinkers of the twentieth century. |

| alain naude krishnamurti: Contemporary Spiritualities Clive Erricker, Jane Erricker, 2001-08-01 Spirituality can be understood within both a religious and secular context. Fuelled by the controversy that surrounds different understandings of human identity and notions of progress, knowledge and truth in modernist and postmodernist contexts, the concept of spirituality is a hotly contested topic of debate as to its relevance within contemporary culture and its meaning within religious traditions. This book aims to inform readers on this debate and contextualize it within these different frames of reference. It approaches the topic of spirituality with an identification of the major influences on contemporary thinking and presents a coherent framework of understanding that links divergent thinking into a common goal. Writings range across different thinkers and practitioners within established religious tradition, contemporary movements and those who operate within psychological and 'secular' understandings. Focusing on the question 'what does it mean to be human?' this engaging study attempts to overcome the divide between secular and religious understandings of spirituality. |

| alain naude krishnamurti: Relationships To Oneself To Others To the World To Oneself J Krishnamurti, 2012-08-08 The passages in this Study Book have been taken directly from Krishnamurti's talks and books from 1933 through 1967. The compil ers began by reading all the passages from this period which contained the word action—the theme of this book. This would not have been possible without the use of a full text computer database, produced by the Krishnamurti Foundation Trust of England. Over 750 passages were studied in all, and the aspects of action most frequently addressed by Krishnamurti were noted. These aspects then formed the outline for the contents of this book.The material selected has not been altered from the way it was originally printed except for limited correction of spelling, punctua tion, and missing words. Words or phrases that appear in brackets are not Krishnamurti's, but have been added by the compilers for the sake of clarity. Ellipses introducing a passage, or ending it, indicate that the passage begins or ends in midsentence. Ellipses in the course of a passage indicate words or sentences omitted. A series of asterisks between paragraphs shows that there are paragraphs from that talk which have been omitted. Captions, set off from the body of the text, have been used with many passages. Most captions are statements taken directly from the text, with some being a combination of phrases from the passage.Krishnamurti spoke from such a large perspective that his entire vision was implied in any extended passage. If one wishes to see how a statement flows out of his whole discourse, one can find the full context from the references at the foot of each passage. These refer primarily to talks which have been published in The Collected Works of J.Krishnamurti. This seventeenvolume set covers the entire period from which this study book has been drawn. A complete bibliography is included at the end of this book. Students and scholars may also be interested in additional passages on action not used in the book, available for study upon written request, in the archives of the Krishna murti Foundation of America.This Study Book aims to give the reader as comprehensive a view as possible, in 140 pages, of the question of action as explored by Krishnamurti during the period covered. Most of the material presented has not been previously published, except in the Verbatim Reports which were produced privately, in limited numbers, primarily for those who attended Krishnamurti's talks. |

| alain naude krishnamurti: L'éveil de l'intelligence Jiddu Krishnamurti, 2011-06-15 « Un monde où les idées n’existeraient pas serait un monde heureux car il ne comporterait pas ces forces si puissamment conditionnantes qui contraignent l’homme à des actions inappropriées, ces dogmes sacro-saints au nom desquels les pires des crimes sont justifiés, les plus grandes folies méticuleusement rationalisées. » Aldous Huxley, préface à La première et dernière liberté. J. Krishnamurti n’a eu de cesse de réfléchir à la manière dont l’homme pouvait accéder à la vérité de la vie en se libérant de ses entraves que sont les idées préconçues, les traditions et les systèmes de pensée. Celui qui, toujours, refusa d’être perçu comme un penseur, un gourou ou un philosophe ne livre en aucun cas des solutions. Il ne prescrit pas de remèdes. La marche vers la liberté et la découverte de soi doit aboutir par chacun, et en chacun. Car, et c’est sans doute sa seule conviction énoncée comme telle : pour comprendre le réel, encore faut-il prendre connaissance de soi. Et pour se connaître soi-même, la première étape vers la libération consiste à s’échapper du carcan du conditionnement. Fuir le sempiternel rôle d’imitateur que s’est attribué l’homme et laisser jaillir l’état créatif. C’est cette libération de l’esprit statique, du connu, qui permettra à tout homme d’accéder au rang d’architecte d’une société nouvelle. Car le monde est fait par les hommes, et le mal qu’il exhibe n’est que le fruit pourri de leurs propres souffrances. L’éveil de l’intelligence s’impose sans conteste comme la somme des textes les plus lus de l’oeuvre krishnamurtienne. On y pénètre comme à l’intérieur de ces tentes où avaient pour habitude de se dérouler les causeries du « maître », dont une part importante est retranscrite dans cet ouvrage. Fidèle à sa « méthode », le penseur exhorte son auditoire à tenter d’éveiller son esprit de manière autonome, le soupçonnant parfois sans détour de sombrer dans le prêt-à-penser, le cliché, et l’amenant, lentement, par le dialogue et à grand renfort d’images, à voir et à comprendre en se dégageant du filtre de la pensée. Qu’il faut distinguer de l’intelligence. Nous vivons dans des concepts, des idées, c’est là le propre de la pensée. L’intelligence, au contraire, recouvre un « état de non-savoir » ; d’inter et de legere, elle invite à « lire entre les lignes ». De la Suisse aux États-Unis, en passant par l’Inde et la Grande-Bretagne, ces brillantes retranscriptions des conversations publiques de J. Krishnamurti s’étalent entre la fin des années soixante et le début des années soixante-dix. Anonymes, scientifiques et musiciens animent l’échange de leurs expériences personnelles. La vie, la mort, la peur, la violence, la liberté et bien d’autres notions viennent appuyer la tentative d’immobilisation de l’esprit, de « mise en veille » pour appréhender notre intérêt dans le monde et dans la vie et approcher L’éveil de l’intelligence. |

| alain naude krishnamurti: Can The Mind Be Quiet? Jiddu Krishnamurti, 2019-08-13 One of the great thinkers of the 20th century discusses the nature of the lived experience, the details of profound self-inquiry, and how to live a fulfilled life with spiritual seekers from around the world These 60 chapters—with titles like “Solitude Means Freedom”, “All Seeking is from Emptiness and Fear”, and “Life is an Extraordinarily Beautiful Movement”—carry the essence of Krishnamurti’s teaching style and profoundest wisdom. Each one reflects an encounter “K” had at different times during the sixties and seventies. It opens with a poetic account of the location where the encounter took place, plus occasionally a description of the seeker that K has met. The chapter then moves back and forth between the seeker and the teacher, giving the reader plenty to reflect upon. This is previously unpublished material. Readers will be captivated by the luminous prose and the piercing insight. The style is enigmatic and poetic but each chapter contains more than enough for the reader to consider, perhaps as a daily practice. In the style of Paulo Coelho, they have the quality of fables, but the teaching is far more profound and challenging. |
| alain naude krishnamurti: The Collected Works of J.Krishnamurti - Volume XI 1958-1960: Crisis in Consciousness Jiddu Krishnamurti, 2012-11-15 In this volume, Krishnamurti takes great care to elucidate this necessity of a revolution within our consciousness where the problem lies before we expect any kind of revolutionary change outside of ourselves. Krishnamurti posits that if the politicians and scientists wanted to end starvation in the world it could be done. It could be done, but they are not going to do it as long as their thinking is based on nationalism, on motives of their own personal profit. And even if this far-reaching outward change were brought about, it seems to me that the problem is much deeper. The problem is not merely starvation, war, the brutality of man to man; it is the crisis in our own consciousness. Fundamentally the problem lies within. |

Tsai is one of Asia’s most popular cartoonists, and his editions of the Chinese classics have sold more than 40 million copies in over twenty languages. This volume presents Tsai’s delightful graphic adaptation of the profound and humorous Daoist writings of Zhuangzi, some of the most popular and influential in the history of Asian philosophy and culture. The Way of Nature brings together all of Tsai’s beguiling cartoon illustrations of the Zhuangzi, which takes its name from its author. The result is a uniquely accessible and entertaining adaptation of a pillar of classical Daoism, which has deeply influenced Chinese poetry, landscape painting, martial arts, and Chan (Zen) Buddhism. Irreverent and inspiring, The Way of Nature presents the memorable characters, fables, and thought experiments of Zhuangzi like no other edition, challenging readers to dig beneath conventional assumptions about self, society, and nature, and pointing to a more natural way of life. Through practical insights and far-reaching arguments, Zhuangzi shows why returning to the spontaneity of nature is the only sane response to a world of conflict. A marvelous introduction to a timeless classic, this book also features an illuminating foreword by Edward Slingerland. In addition, Zhuangzi’s original Chinese text is artfully presented in narrow sidebars on each page, enriching the book for readers and students of Chinese without distracting from the self-contained English-language cartoons. The text is skillfully translated by Brian Bruya, who also provides an introduction. |
| alain naude krishnamurti: The Esoteric Secrets of Surrealism Patrick Lepetit, 2014-04-24 A profound understanding of the surrealists’ connections with alchemists and secret societies and the hermetic aspirations revealed in their works • Explains how surrealist paintings and poems employed mythology, gnostic principles, tarot, voodoo, alchemy, and other hermetic sciences to seek out unexplored regions of the mind and recover lost “psychic” and magical powers • Provides many examples of esoteric influence in surrealism, such as how Picasso’s Demoiselles d’Avignon was originally titled The Bath of the Philosophers Not merely an artistic or literary movement as many believe, the surrealists rejected the labels of artist and author bestowed upon them by outsiders, accepting instead the titles of magician, alchemist, or--in the case of Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo--witch. Their paintings, poems, and other works were created to seek out unexplored regions of the mind and recover lost “psychic” and magical powers. They used creative expression as the vehicle to attain what André Breton called the “supreme point,” the point at which all opposites cease to be perceived as contradictions. This supreme point is found at the heart of all esoteric doctrines, including the Great Work of alchemy, and enables communication with higher states of being. Drawing on an extensive range of writings by the surrealists and those in their circle of influence, Patrick Lepetit shows how the surrealists employed mythology, gnostic principles, tarot, voodoo, and alchemy not simply as reference points but as significant elements of their ongoing investigations into the fundamental nature of consciousness. He provides many specific examples of esoteric influence among the surrealists, such as how Picasso’s famous Demoiselles d’Avignon was originally titled The Bath of the Philosophers, how painter Victor Brauner drew from his father’s spiritualist vocation as well as the Kabbalah and tarot, and how doctor and surrealist author Pierre Mabille was a Freemason focused on finding initiatory paths where “it is possible to feel a new system connecting man with the universe.” Lepetit casts new light on the connection between key figures of the movement and the circle of adepts gathered around Fulcanelli. He also explores the relationship between surrealists and Freemasonry, Martinists, and the Elect Cohen as well as the Grail mythos and the Arthurian brotherhood. |

| alain naude krishnamurti: 12 Gesetze der Heilung: Die Hintergründe von Gesundheit und Krankheit Katarina Michel, Peter Michel, 2020-04-16 Katarina und Peter Michel befassen sich seit vielen Jahren mit der Erforschung der Gesetzmäßigkeiten, die hinter vielen Heilerfolgen wirken – oder auch für das Scheitern in zahlreichen Behandlungen verantwortlich zeichnen. Dabei spielt es keine Rolle, ob die klassische Geistheilung angewendet wird oder Reiki, ob man Bach-Blüten verabreicht oder Aura-Soma-Öle. Hinter allen Systemen stehen unverbrüchliche, ewige GESETZE. Alle Heilungsmethoden können nicht nachhaltig wirken, solange die inneren Voraussetzungen für eine wahre Heilung nicht gegeben sind. Der Blick dieser Studie richtet sich daher auf die universellen Heilungs-Gesetze, die keine Erfindung der Neuzeit darstellen, sondern schon in den Heilungstempeln der Antike beachtet wurden. Die „Zwölf Gesetze der Heilung“ stellen daher keinen „How-to-do-Ratgeber“ dar, sondern behandeln das Wesen von Gesundheit und Krankheit von ihrem Ursprung her. Wer diese „Zwölf Gesetze“ in seinem Leben verwirklicht, wird möglicherweise zu seiner eigenen Überraschung feststellen, dass er keine äußere Behandlung mehr benötigt. Er wird unzweifelhaft erkennen: „Wahre Heilung beginnt im Inneren!“ |

| alain naude krishnamurti: What is Right Action ? J Krishnamurti, 2022-09-09 This volume covers talks given in New Zealand, Ojai, New York, South America and Mexico. Krishnamurti begins by stating What we call problems are merely symptoms, which increase and multiply because we do not tackle the whole life as one but divide it as economic, social or religious problems. ..Now it is my intention to show that so long as we deal with these problems apart, separately,we but increase the misunderstanding, and therefore the conflict, and thereby the suffering and the pain... An extensive compendium of Krishnamurti's talks and discussions in the USA, Europe, India, New Zealand, and South Africa from 1933 to 1967—the Collected Works have been carefully authenticated against existing transcripts and tapes. Each volume includes a frontispiece photograph of Krishnamurti , with question and subject indexes at the end. The content of each volume is not limited to the subject of the title, but rather offers a unique view of Krishnamurti's extraordinary teachings in selected years. The Collected Works offers the reader the opportunity to explore the early writings and dialogues in their most complete and authentic form. |
