  J Krishnamurti (1896-1986) was one of the most important spiritual leaders of his time. Indeed, she has written three previous volumes on him, but only after his death in 1986 did she feel able to produce this book, bringing the life and philosophy of this fascinating and complex man into true perspective.

  Having previously written three books on Krishnamurti, this book covers the complete story of his life and philosophy. The author knew him in India not long after the leaders of the Theosophists discovered him, as a boy in India, believing him to be the vehicle for the coming Messiah. The story of his education and adjustment to the western world is explored, his later denial of his Messianic role and his emergence as a world teacher who attracted the attention of the United Nations and the most eminent in different fields such as Nehru, Dalai Lama, Bernard Shaw, Aldous Huxley, Mrs Gandhi, Iris Murdoch, David Bohm and Bernard Levin.
