Krishnamurti

Alcyone [d.i. Jiddu Krishnamurti]: Zu den Füßen des Meisters. Dtsch. Erstausg. Aachen, Leipzig, Theosophisches Verlagshaus Hugo Vollrath, [1911]. ; 1. Ed.
Mit einer Vorrede von Annie Besant. - Vorliegendes ist das erste Buch von Krishnamurti (d.i. Juddu Nariahna, 1895-1986), Sohn eines bei Annie Besant in Adyar angestellten Schreibers, der erst vierzehnjährige gibt hier die Lehren seines Meister aus dem Gedächtnis wieder. Da Leadbeater ihn für die Reinkarnation des neuen Weltenlehrers hielt, wurde Juddu von Annie Besant adoptiert u. von Leadbeater ausgebildet. 1912 klagte der Vater auf Zurückgabe des Knaben, verlor jedoch die Verhandlung. Bereits 1910 hatte Besant für den neuen Weltenlehrer den "Orden des Sterns im Osten" gegründet, doch da Krishnamurti, ab 1928 selbstständig auftretend, nichts Neues verkündete löste sich der Orden bald wieder auf u. Krishnamurti zog sich nach Kalifornien zurück. Später hat er auch im deutschsprachigen Raum wieder eine Anhängerschaft gefunden, in Hamburg gründete sich sogar eine Krishnamurti-Arbeitsgemeinschaft (Miers). - Einband etwas fleckig; Widmung von alter Hand auf dem Vorsatz; Schnitt u. tlw. auch Blattränder etwas braunfleckig.

1909, als er gerade vierzehn war, wurde Krishnamurti als zukünftiger Weltlehrer proklamiert, in dem sich Maitreya, der Bodhisattva des Mitgefühls, manifestieren würde. Verkündigt wurde dies von Annie Besant, der damaligen Präsidentin der Theosophischen Gesellschaft, die es als ihre Aufgabe sieht, die grundlegenden Gemeinsamkeiten der Weltreligionen herauszuarbeiten.Annie Besant bereitete Krishnamurti auf seine Rolle als Auserwählter vor. Zwanzig Jahre später vollzog sich jedoch in Krishnamurti eine tiefgreifende Wandlung. Darauf hin trat er als eigenständiger Lehrer in Erscheinung, den man an der Originalität seiner Präsentation der Wahrheit als wahren spirituellen Lehrer erkannte. Krishnamurti durchlief schwere körperliche und emotionale Prüfungen, bevor er den Gipfel der Freiheit erreichte. Fortan lehrte er in aller Welt und zog mitunter große Menschenmassen an. Staatsmänner (z. B. Nehru und Indira Gandhi) suchten seinen Rat und Wissenschaftler und Künstler ließen sich von ihm inspirieren. Krishnamurti verstarb 1986 im Alter von fast 91 Jahren.

Dr Kalidas Joshi Illustrator: . J. Krishnamurti Demystified: Simple Explanations of the Seer, Pustak Mahal 2005 ISBN: 9788122308990

New Softcover . Scores of books in English were prepared during the lifetime of J. Krishnamurti, the great humanist sage of the 20th century.These have been prepared from his talks and discourses delivered throughout the world for over 50 years. After his death in 1986, functionaries of his three Foundations in the US (Ojai, California), England (Brockwood Park) and Chennai, India, feeling somewhat orphaned without his gracful presence, brought out even more books from what was said by him on different topics. Strangely enough, the problem of what exactly was the main thrust of his teachings has still not been addressed. This book is perhaps the first attempt to gather, in a single volume, almost all significant aspects of his teachings. Furthermore, with its explanatory discussions ,after reading this book if one were to read any original book of J. Krishnamurti, those books would be more enlightening, clearly understandable and more enjoyable. It would not be incomprehensible, as is usually the case with most lay readers who venture to read J. Krishnamurti. This is a book that every admirer of J. Krishnamurti, every lover of philosophy and every seeker of truth, would do well to read. Some Glimpses: *Security- 'We want to be secure inwardly ,and also spiritually, by erecting walls of belief which are an indication of the craving to be certain.' He argues that to 'find out for youself that there is no form of security in any relationship,to realise psychologically that there is nothing permanent,gives a totally different approach to life'. *Love - 'Freedom and love go together...to love is not to ask anything in return...not even to feel you are giving something- and it is only such love that can know freedom.' *Wisdom - 'To understand oneself is the beginning of wisdom.Wisdom does not lie in books,nor in experience...it comes to a mind that is understanding itself, understanding how thought is born.'

J. Krishnamurti Illustrator: . The Collected Works of J. Krishnamurti: The Art of Listening (1933-1934), Vol. I, Motilal Banarsidass Publishers Pvt. Ltd. 2007 ISBN: 9788120832411

New Softcover . Until the end of his life at the age of ninety, Krishnamurti-the world teacher-traveled the world speaking as a private person. The rejection of all spiritual and psychological authority, including his own, is a fundamental theme. A major concern is the social structure and how it conditions the individual. The emphasis in his talks and writings is on the psychological barriers that prevent clarity of perception. Because his subject is all-embracing, the Collected Works which are in 18 Volumes, are of compelling interest. Within his talks in any one year. Krishnamurti was not able to cover the whole range of his vision, but broad amplifications of particular themes are found throughout these volumes. In them he lays the foundations of many of the concepts he used in later years. The Collected Works contain Krishnamurti's previously published talks, discussions, answers to specific questions, and writings for the years 1933 through 1967. They are an authentic record of his teachings, taken from transcripts of verbatim shorthand reports and tape recordings. Jiddu Krishnamurti was born in 1895 of Brahmin Parents in South India. At the age of fourteen he was proclaimed the coming World Teacher by Annie Besant, then President of the Theosophical Society, an international organization that emphasized the unity of world religions. Mrs. Besant adopted the boy and took him to England, where he was educated and prepared for his coming role. In 1911 a new worldwide organization was formed with Krishnamurti as its head, solely to prepare its members for hisadvent as World Teacher. In 1929, after many years of questioning himself and the destiny imposed upon him, Krishnamurti disbanded this organization, saying: Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized; nor should any organization be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path. My only concern is to set men absolutely, unconditionally free. Until he end of his life at the age of ninety, Krishnamurti traveled the world speaking as a private person. The rejection of all spiritual and psychological authority, including his own, is a fundamental theme. A major concern is the social structure and how it conditions the individual. The emphasis in his talks and writings is on the psychological barriers that prevent clarity of perception. In the mirror of relationship, each of us can come to understand the content of his own consciousness, which is common to all humanity. We can do this, not analytically, but directly in a manner Krishnamurti describes at length. In observing this content we discover within ourselves the division of the observer and what is observed. He points out that this division, which prevents direct perception, is the root of human conflict. His central vision did not waver after 1929, but Krishnamurti strove for the rest of his life to make his language even more simple and clear. There is a development in his exposition. From year to year he used new terms and new approaches to his subject, with different nuances. Because his subject is all embracing, the Collected Works are of compelling interest. Within his talks in any one year, Krishnamurti was not able to cover the whole range of his vision, but broad amplifications of particular themes are found throughout these volumes. In them he lays the foundations of many of the concepts he used in later years. The Collected Works containKrishnamurti's previously published talks, discussions, answers to specific questions, and writings for the years 1933 through 1967.
