Though only 235 pages into the book I find it creative, thoughtfully put together, and well-bound book. The historical chronology of the Theosophical Society and historical events that span the years of Krishnamurti's teaching was a wonderful addition. But, as an observation I found right off in the Introduction, the typo's at times a bit of a distraction-'ruth Is a Pathless Land.' though in no way did it hinder going beyond the words.

A well done and comprehensive account of K’s life and teaching. Loved Michael Mendizza’s closing chapter on attention titled “Not content, rather attention opens the door."

No es puntuable porque no es comparable
Es genuino, se atiene a la verdad, a aquello que se hace nítido a su mirada, una mirada sin ataduras, sin tiempo.
Es extraordinario leerlo.

Very Nice Book
Very nice book and enjoy the key sayings. I also learned a few new things I hadn’t known before from other biographies. Only suggestion I would have in a future reprint would be choice of font style which sometimes makes it difficult to read (darker print with higher contrast would be helpful … at least from my perspective). But otherwise, a very solid volume and overview.
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.
