Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

It is difficult to believe that the young spiritual adept who was selected by Annie Besant and the Theosophical movement in India continues to find a wide audience, but the appearance of three new memoirs by friends and relations about the religious philosopher testify to the continued interest of many spiritual seekers who do not fit readily into the major religious traditions. These short works should prove of great interest to Krishnamurti adherents and scholars alike. For collections already strong in Krisnamurti's writings.

About the Author

Krishnamurti, Jiddu born of middle-class Brahmin parents, was recognized at age fourteen as the coming World Teacher. Krishnamurti claimed allegiance to no caste, nationality or religion and was bound by no tradition. He traveled the world and spoke spontaneously to large audiences until the end of his life at age ninety. He said man has to free himself of all fear, conditioning, authority and dogma through self-knowledge and this will bring about order and psychological mutation.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Walter Cronkite of Australia Speaks Out, December 28, 1999

This review is from: The Transparent Mind: A Journey with Krishnamurti (Paperback)

Ingram Smith was renouned for provocative radio programs on the air at ABC. Often he ended his program with a power audio clip of Krishnamurti speaking on a topical, current subject. Now Ingram Smith has come out with his memoirs and they too are punctuated with the powerful works of his mentor, J. Krishnamurti. This new title is a rewrite of Smith's earlier book TRUTH IS A PATHLESS LAND, with much more provocative writings about the authors own experiments with truth and his own consciousness. The book is dense with insightful information on Krishnamurti and the impact the great teacher had on Smith's lie and work. This is an important book for students of consciousness and those intrigued by Krishnamurti's life and work.
