Krishnamurti's Commentaries on Living from his personal thoughts presents concise solutions and perspectives on archetypal issues confronting every man and woman - interpreted with deep insight by one of the then contemporaneous world's spiritual leaders. Jiddu Krishnamurti, known popularly as Krishnamurti, was a continental Indian speaker and writer on philosophical and spiritual subjects. In early adolescence, he had a chance encounter with prominent occultist and theosophist, Charles Webster Leadbeater at the Theosophical Society at Adyar in Madras. He was subsequently guided under the tutelage of Annie Besant and Leadbeater, leaders of the Theosophical movement at the time, who felt he was a "vehicle" for an expected World Teacher. He did not care for this and dissolved the Order of the Star, an organization that had been established to support it. He claimed allegiance to neither a nationality, nor any caste, religion, or philosophy. He spent his life traveling and speaking to large and small groups and individuals. He authored many books, among them being: "The First and Last Freedom; The Only Revolution; and, Krishnamurti's Notebook". Many of his talks and discussions have been published. His last public talk was in Madras, India, in January 1986, a month before his death at his home in Ojai, California. Krishnamurti stressed the necessity for an ascendence in the psyche of every human being and emphasized it not to be the result of any external individual or entity, whether religious, political, or social. 254 pages.
