In The Presence of Krishnamurti

<<Previous Issue | Next Issue>>

Introduction

The recorded discussions with Mary which provide the material for these memoirs began on June eleventh, 1994. The discussion for this issue occurred on August fourth, 1996; so it has taken us over two years to get this far in her diaries. By this date, I am at Oxford, and only able to visit Mary at Brockwood to continue our discussions on the occasional week-end during the months she is in England. As we continue, I remember Mary saying often that she feels we’re never going to get out of the ’70s; and indeed, it is another thirty one discussions and almost nine years before we get to the 1980s.

So, it may be right to bring up at this point a sense that I have from these discussions: There are extraordinary, relentless, unremitting demands made on Krishnaji; and Mary, in trying to take care of him and facilitate all that he does, is just as persevering and sedulous as he.

The Inner Life of Krishnamurti: Private Passion and Perennial Wisdom

By Aryel Sanat

()

About this ebook

Aryel Sanat's meticulously researched and cogently argued exploration of Krishnamurti's inner life and experiences explodes a number of popular myths about Krishnamurti, particularly that he denied the existence of the Theosophical Masters and disdained the esoteric side of the spiritual path. Rather, Sanat persuasively demonstrates, Krishnamurti had a rich and intense esoteric life. Moreover, the truths of the Ancient Wisdom, as revealed through the Masters, were a reality to Krishnamurti every day of his life, from his boyhood until his death. The real story of Krishnamurti's inner life is shown to have critical implications for our understanding of Krishnamurti's life and ideas and for our views of Theosophy, Buddhism, the teachings of Gurdjieff---indeed, the entirety of contemporary spiritual thought.
