J. Krishnamurti is one of the most revolutionary thinkers of our age. To listen to him or to read his books is an experience by itself. He challenges every norm and value of individual as well as social life. He is not interested in mere outer changes he stands for a fundamental transformation. What he calls the mutation of the mind. He states that there must arise first the New Man before a New Society can be brought into existence.
The present book deals comprehensively with all aspects of Krishnamurti’s teachings his philosophy his psychology and a practice of no practice. Krishnamurti says society is always static only in the individual can there be a radical revolution.
It is with this individual revolution that this book is fundamentally concerned.
