Most popular books by J. Krishnamurti
Krishnamurti's books were usually compiled by others from his talks. Below you will find introductions to his work, but also deeper philosophic reflection and specific themes. Learn about God, relationships and the nature of experience - as well as about the main topic Krishnamurti talked about: how to live.
Think on These Things
The most popular Krishnamurti book
Krishnamurti talking to teachers, parents and students about the important things in life.
Because his audience is a mixture of those new to his teachings (the young) and people who knew them already, this book goes into it in depth - but in often simple words.

Krishnamurti's Notebook
Most of the books by Jiddu Krishnamurti are collections of talks or compilations of texts from his talks around some subject or other. This is one of the few which he wrote himself - pen to paper. Like all these, his style is more meditative than in his lectures. He analyses humanity and its problems as he does elsewhere, but combines it with lovely descriptions of nature.

On Relationship
In 1950, Krishnamurti said: "If we are concerned with our own lives, if we understand our relationship with others, we will have created a new society; otherwise, we will but perpetuate the present chaotic mess and confusion."
In this book he goes into this subject more deeply: the place of sex, friendship and preconceived ideas in all our relationships.

- I have read a few books on Krishnamurti and the main thing I have retained is "watch yourself". This in my view is a form of Meditation leading to Enlightenment. Subsequently I met another Spiritual master and I have written about him in my first and only Hub on Hubpages. His philosophy is based on the Law of Nature.
