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.

Think on These Things 

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.

Jiddu Krishnamurti telling a joke...
J. Krishnamurti had a light side. This came out in jokes, often using Christian and other religious imagery like the devil or heaven. If you are a Christian, you may be offended and should probably not read on. An online friend has volunteered to type out a few of these jokes. I am usually using part of the first centence as a title.
