Language: English. Weight: 7.6 ounces. Paperback: J. Krishnamurti (1895-1986) went from messiah figure for the Theosophical Society at age 14 to become an influential, paradoxical spiritual teacher who advocated spirituality outside the structures of organized religion. With his statement "Truth is a pathless land, " Krishnamurti began his greatest influence as a spiritual leader. Accepting no followers, founding no religion, he nonetheless became a shining beacon of joy and truth for millions around the world. 21 photos. Must reading for anyone who has been studying his philosophy. Here in the earlier stages of his life, one can see the elements that shaped the man and his philosophy. Mary Luytens, the author of this biography, was a close friend of his and she refers to herself in the third person several times through the book. Her mother was active in the Theosophical Society. As the eighth son born to a family of the Brahmin caste in India, he was automatically given the name of Krishnamurti. A horoscope was immediately cast for him by an Indian astrologer, and needless to say, it predicted that he would be a singularly important spiritual influence. This is a fascinating account of those early years, and of how the Theosophical Society gained control of his upbringing, and cast him in the role of the great world spiritual leader whose advent the society predicted. The author details events of this period and the reader will see how Krishnamurti, although under the tutelage of this group, developed an independent spirit and an independent philosophy, and eventually stepped out of the role created for him. The emphasis throughout the book is on the biographical events and not on the eventual philosophy. For this reason, I feel that the person familiar with the philosophy will get more from this book than will one who hasn't read this man's writings. Anyone who is spiritually attuned will gain a tremendous insight through this book., Avon, 1976., 0<
