In the early part of the 20th century, young Krishnamurti was promoted by the leadership of the [[Theosophical Society]] at [[Adyar]], India, as the [[Maitreya_(Theosophy)#Jiddu_Krishnamurti|"''World Teacher''"]], a new [[Messianism|messiah]]. In 1929, he disavowed this role, dissolved the worldwide organization (the [[Order_of_the_Star_in_the_East|''Order of the Star'']]) formed to support it, and severed his ties to [[Theosophy]] and the Theosophical Society. Denouncing the concept of saviors, spiritual leaders, and other intermediaries to [[reality]], he urged people to directly discover the underlying causes of the problems facing individuals and society, including the constant yearning for spiritual fulfilment. Such discovery he declared as within reach of everyone, irrespective of background, ability, or disposition.<ref group=n>Jiddu, Krishnamurti (1929).

Jiddu Krishnamurti (Telugu: జిడ్డు కృష్ణ మూర్తి) or J. Krishnamurti (Telugu: జే . కృష్ణ మూర్తి, Tamil: கிருஷ்ணமூர்த்தி), (May 12, 1895–February 17, 1986) was a renowned writer and speaker on philosophical and spiritual subjects. His subject matter included: psychological revolution, the nature of the mind, meditation, human relationships, and bringing about positive change in society. He constantly stressed the need for a revolution in the psyche of every human being and emphasized that such revolution cannot be brought about by any external entity, be it religious, political, or social.

In the early part of the 20th century, young Krishnamurti was promoted by the leadership of the Theosophical Society at Adyar, India, as the "World Teacher", a new messiah. In 1929, he disavowed this role, dissolved the worldwide organization (the Order of the Star) formed to support it, and severed his ties to Theosophy and the Theosophical Society. Denouncing the concept of saviors, spiritual leaders, and other intermediaries to reality, he urged people to directly discover the underlying causes of the problems facing individuals and society, including the constant yearning for spiritual fulfilment. Such discovery he declared as within reach of everyone, irrespective of background, ability, or disposition.[n 1][n 2]

As of 2010, according to one source, Krishnamurti-related materials numbered "2,105 works in 3,707 publications in 45 languages and 44,681 library holdings".[n 3]

List format

As Krishnamurti was growing up, the changes in his message and delivery (leading to his declared independence in 1929) were gradual, and evident before then. However, according to biographers and associates, Krishnamurti's own work reached its full maturity after the last tie with Theosophy was severed in 1933.[n 4] This is partly reflected in the listings below.

Unless otherwise specified, the entries have been listed by the original publication date. In the absence of this information, the earliest dated edition is used. If no publication date is available, the date of work is listed when feasible.

Format: Title (year of first publication).<reference> Notes.<further references as needed (appearing under Notes and sources)>

Printed works

Apart from a few noted exceptions, the majority of Krishnamurti's books are edited transcripts or compilations of his talks and discussions, arranged thematically, chronologically, by location, or in a combination of the above.

Krishnamurti on Krishnamurti

  • Krishnamurti's Notebook (1976).[1] Published journal that Krishnamurti kept between June 1961 and March 1962. With the publication of this book, the general public for the first time had access to first-hand descriptions of the "process", a strange condition that started in the 1920s and intermittently affected Krishnamurti throughout his life. Also contains references to what Krishnamurti often called "the otherness".[n 5]
  • Krishnamurti's Journal (1982).[2] A personal journal, that he started in 1973 and kept intermittently until 1975.
  • Krishnamurti to Himself: His Last Journal (1987).[3] Transcribed from audio tape recordings made at his home in the Ojai Valley between February 1983 and March 1984. Mary Lutyens, editor. Lutyens, an authorized biographer and lifelong friend of Krishnamurti, edited several of his books.

Various books

A number of official Krishnamurti-related entities have published, and continue to publish, transcripts of Krishnamurti's talks and discussions. These verbatim reports and transcriptions are not included here. The following listing is not exhaustive.

Pre-1933
  • At the Feet of the Master (1910).[4] The author of this book is also listed as "Alcyone". There is considerable scepticism among Krishnamurti's biographers and others about Krishnamurti's true role in the production of this and other works by so-called "Alcyone". Among other objections, a consensus of the sceptics considers such works as Theosophical literature.[n 6][n 7]
  • The Immortal Friend (1928).[5] Poetry. Krishnamurti composed over 60 poems, published in the official bulletin of the Order of the Star and in book form. He stopped writing poetry in 1931.[n 8]
  • The pool of wisdom (1928).[6]
  • Life in Freedom (1928).[7] Compiled from camp-fire addresses given in Benares, Ojai, and Ommen, during 1928.
  • Early Writings (1969-1972).[8] Seven-volume series of hard to find early works by J. Krishnamurti. The series compiles material from 1927 to 1933, originally published in the Star Bulletin (official bulletin of the Order of the Star) by the Star Publishing Trust. The Star Publishing Trust, established in Eerde, Netherlands in the 1920s, was an organization chartered to disseminate Krishnamurti's teachings. It was reorganized and relocated to California following the dissolution of the Order.
  • From Darkness to Light (1980).[9] Poetry, prose, and parables originally published between 1923 and 1931. Also subtitled "The Collected Works of Krishnamurti Volume One", this is completely different from the Collected Works Volume 1 listed below.
Post-1933
  • War abolished: One way to permanent peace (1943).[10] Contains talks by Krishnamurti in Ojai and Pennsylvania during 1940. Published as Volume 2 of Sydney-based Currawong Publishing's Unpopular Pamphlets series. Currawong was known as a publisher or licencee of anti-war pamphlets and books from a wide variety of authors, as well as of other works of political nature. During World War II Krishnamurti's stance was often construed as pacifism or subversion during a time of patriotic fervor in the United States, and for a time he came under surveillance by the FBI.[n 9]
  • Education and the Significance of Life (1953).[11] One of several books containing Krishnamurti’s educational ideas and concerns. This was the first Krishnamurti book to be published by a commercial publisher.
  • The First and Last Freedom (1954).[12] Includes a comprehensive foreword by Aldous Huxley, whom Krishnamurti befriended in 1938. The two of them developed a decades-long friendship.
  • Commentaries on Living (1956-60).[13] A three-volume series subtitled "From the notebooks of J. Krishnamurti", Desikacharya Rajagopal, series editor. D. Rajagopal ("Raja", 1900-1993), had moved in Krishnamurti's circle since early youth. After the death of Krishnamurti's brother Nityananda (Nitya), he replaced him as Krishnamurti's frequent travel companion and aide, and also as official of the Star Publishing Trust. Following the dissolution of the Order of the Star, he served as the head or co-head of a number of successive corporations and trusts, chartered to publish Krishnamurti's talks, discussions and other writings, and also to organize and finance his itinerary.[n 10]

    • Second Penguin Krishnamurti Reader (1973).[19] This book compiles The Only Revolution and the Urgency of Change. Krishnamurti biographer C. V. Williams credits this mass market two-volume Penguin Reader series - the first volume was published in 1970 - with introducing Krishnamurti and his work to a truly wide audience, and with helping to establish his reputation as a philosopher of note both with the general public and within intellectual circles.[n 11]
  • The Impossible Question (1972).[20]

Krishnamurti enumerated the following as his educational aims: 1. Global outlook - A vision of the whole as distinct from the part; there should never be a sectarian outlook, but always a holistic outlook free from all prejudice. 2. Concern for man and the environment - Humanity is part of nature, and if nature is not cared for, it will boomerang on man. Only the right education, and deep affection between people everywhere, will resolve our many problems including the environmental challenges. 3. Religious spirit, which includes the scientific temper - The religious mind is alone, not lonely. It is in communion with people and nature. G. Narayan was Krishnamurti's nephew and was involved in his educational projects for many years.
