Editorial Reviews

Review

"Few modern thinkers have integrated psychology, philosophy, and religion so seamlessly as Krishnamurti."— Publishers Weekly

Product Description

Krishnamurti (1895–1986) went from his origins in a small south Indian village to become one of the great spiritual teachers of the twentieth century. He taught that the only way to peace on earth is the transformation of the human psyche—and that there is no path to this transformation, no method for achieving it, no gurus or spiritual authorities who can help. The transformation is a truth each of us must discover within ourselves. This classic collection of brief excerpts from Krishnamurti's books and talks presents the essence of his teaching on meditation—a state of attention, beyond thought, which brings total freedom from authority and ambition, fears and separateness. This doubly expanded edition features even more of the great teacher's wisdom than the original version, and also includes some never-before-published material.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too Brief To Do Krishnamurti Justice, June 5, 2000

By	"gsibbery" (Baton Rouge, LA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Meditations (Shambhala Pocket Classics) (Paperback)

This is a tiny, tiny (89 pp.) book is far too brief to dojustice even remotely to a thinker like Jaddu Krishnamurti. The sizeof the book is only 3.5" x 5.0" and the longest excerpt from any of his talks or writings (the book is composed solely of such snippets from his other work) are very short -- 2 pages at the most -- and they fail to give an adequate understanding of the breadth and deepness of Krishnamurti's mature philosophy, one that in my opinion, is one of the most important streams of contemporary thought, and one which surely deserves more than such a tiny volume is able to convey. It's cheap, but not worth the price. Get one of his larger and more complete books if you are interesting in finding out what this brilliant and very genuine man had to say. Any less than that would be doing injustice to the integrity of his work.

5.0 out of 5 stars TOO BRIEF BUT STILL A GOOD INTRO FOR BEGINNERS, October 30, 2000

By	mehul (Pittsburg, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Meditations (Shambhala Pocket Classics) (Paperback)

This book is short,true. But I think that for beginners, it's a good book. Of course, it doesn't rank with "The awakening of intelligence" or other books by K., but it's good for people that don't want to go too deep into the subject and just want to learn more about K. In addition, the small format is practical so you can carry it and read it during the day, at moments when you feel most "ready".

4.0 out of 5 stars I have the good version!, February 10, 2004

By	Tony CioLi "Tony CioLi" (ATL, GA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Meditations 1969 (Paperback)

IN MEMORY OF MARIO PONTILLO

~The hardcover book I have has ISBN 0060624511 within it, 1979-
Harper and Row 63 pages.

It is very interesting, and its bascially quotes and very short stories and seems quite soothing.

Please don't hesitate to check out my book that I published while in the U.S. Navy in 2003:
"Under the Rose: Poetry of Tragedy, Essence, and Romance"
