As our new releases stem from the inspiration of the words of one man, we thought it would be a good idea to give you some more information on him and what he stood for.
Jiddu Krishnamurti (12 May 1895 – 17 February 1986) was a writer and speaker on philosophical and spiritual issues including psychological revolution, the nature of the mind, meditation, human relationships, and bringing about positive social change. Maintaining that society is ultimately the product of the interactions of individuals, he held that fundamental change in society can emerge only through freely undertaken radical change in the individual. Krishnamurti stressed the need for a revolution in the psyche of every human being and posited that such revolution cannot be brought about by any external entity, be it religious, political, or social.
Below is a video clip taken from a 30 minute documentary named The Real Revolution in which Jiddu Krishnamurti discusses the necessity for a radical change in the human conciousness as the only answer to fix the problem of society.
Several days before his death in February 1986, Krishnamurti gave one last statement in which he reflected upon the feeling that ‘nodbody’ had really understood his teachings. He gave the impression that no other energy would be able to follow in his footsteps following his death, however he did give a final offer of hope. Krishnamurti stated that people could approach his energry (his works) and could gain a certain measure of understanding, comparing himself to inventor Thomas Edison, he had done all the hard work, and now all that was needed by others was a flick of the switch.
