The Life and Death of Krishnamurti by Mary Lutyens traces J. Krishnamurti's life from his childhood in India to his years of independent teaching and his death in 1986.

The biography considers his early association with the Theosophists, the role they envisioned for him, and his decision to reject that role. It follows the life of a teacher who traveled widely, giving talks and holding discussions.

A close friend of Krishnamurti and the author of three previous biographical volumes about him, Lutyens wrote this account after his death. The book brings his life and philosophy together in a single volume.
