J. Krishnamurti First Conversation with Dr Allen W. Anderson

First Conversation with Dr Allen Anderson.
San Diego, California, 18 February 1974
A Wholly Different Way of Living

J. Krishnamurti was born in South India and educated in England. For the past 40 years he has been speaking in the United States, Europe, India, Australia and other parts of the world. From the outset of his life’s work he repudiated all connections with organised religions and ideologies and said that his only concern was to set man absolutely unconditionally free. He is the author of many books, among them THE AWAKENING Of INTELLIGENCE, THE URGENCY OF CHANGE, FREEDOM FROM THE KNOWN and THE FLIGHT OF THE EAGLE.

This is the second of a series of dialogues between Krishnamurti and Dr. Allan W. Anderson, who is professor of religious studies at San Diego State University where he teaches Indian and Chinese scriptures and the oracular tradition. Dr. Anderson, a published poet, received his degree from Columbia University and the Union Theological Seminary. He has been honoured with the distinguished teaching award from the California State University.

About Krishnamurti:

Krishnamurti was discovered on a beach in India in 1910 when was 13 years old. Annie Besant, leader of the Theosophical Society, undertook to educate the boy and his brother in England. On a path to be the new “World Teacher”, he took an extraordinary turn. In 1929, at the age of 32 and at one of the annual European gatherings of the Theosophists in Holland, he announced his decision to step down from any plan to make him a World Teacher, resigned as a leader of the Theosophists and cut all ties to any notion of spiritual organization with a statement summarized as “Truth Is A Pathless Land: man cannot come to it through any organization, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, not through any philosophic knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents of his own mind, through observation and not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection.”
