Jiddu Krishnamurti lived from 1895 to 1986, and is regarded as one of the greatest philosophical and spiritual figures of the twentieth century. Krishnamurti claimed no allegiance to any caste, nationality or religion and was bound by no tradition. His purpose was to set humankind unconditionally free from the destructive limitations of conditioned mind. For nearly sixty years he traveled the world and spoke spontaneously to large audiences until the end of his life in 1986 at the age of ninety. He had no permanent home, but when not traveling, he often stayed in Ojai, California, Brockwood Park, England, and in Chennai, India. In his talks, he pointed out to people the need to transform themselves through self knowledge, by being aware of the subtleties of their thoughts and feelings in daily life, and how this movement can be observed through the mirror of relationship.

The Kitchen Chronicles: 1001 lunches with J Krishnamurti

I really loved this book and was in awe of how the author could recount the details of his encounters with such precision and lucidity. I would highly recommend this glimpse into an extraordinary life.

Thank you Michael for writing your experiences with K and something your life unfolding from your first exposure at Saannen and becoming a cook and teacher in Ojai.I’ve read most of K’s books and biographies.Your book brings K closer and I appreciate the emphasis on his jokes and sense of humor….by the way, we briefly met this past June and sat in on an informal talk you were having with a group of 5 or so women.That too was a new exposure to K. Though I was staying at the Pepper Tree I had come a friend’s wedding so limited time at the center.Hope to return in the fall or winter. may all be well with you, Eduardo
