Usually in the opening talk he would dwell first on the problems of the world and then on the psychological factors underlying them.

Talks in Madras 1979-80

This series of six talks, given by Krishnamurti in Madras in 1979-80, marks a departure from his usual style of exposition.

But here he starts straightaway with the most ancient quest of man to find that which is sacred. ‘Man must have asked a million years ago, from the beginning of the time, if there is a reality, if there is a truth, if there is something timeless, something that cannot be measured by Man.

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.
