J.
KRISHNAMURTI
Regarded internationally as one of the great philosophers
and educators of our time, J. Krishnamurti spoke
to young people all over the world and founded schools
in California, England, and India. For over sixty
years, he traveled the world, engaging in dialogues
with heads of state, scientists, religious leaders,
professors, brain experts, and published more than
fifty books translated into as many different languages.
Krishnamurti's legacy is profoundly significant
to young people and adults in our modern world as
we struggle to rise above old traditions of fear,
greed, and violence and try to find out what it
means to be compassionate and free. |
