Why Are You Being Educated? brings together six talks given by J. Krishnamurti at Indian universities and the Indian Institutes of Technology between 1969 and 1984. He examines the purpose of education and the relationship between knowledge, intelligence, and self-understanding.

While acknowledging that knowledge is indispensable, Krishnamurti questions whether its pursuit alone prepares students to meet life's challenges. These talks invite students, teachers, and parents to explore the human psyche alongside academic learning.

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.
