Krishnamurti, the world teacher, traveled the globe speaking as a private person until the end of his ninety-year-old life. A fundamental theme is his rejection of any spiritual or psychological authority, even his own. The social structure and its effects on the individual are a major concern. His talks and writings focus on psychological barriers that hinder clarity of perception. The Collected Works, which consist of 18 volumes, are compelling because his subject is broad. In any given year, he has delivered over 100 talks. These volumes contain broad amplifications of specific themes, although Krishnamurti could not cover all of his vision. These volumes are where he laid the foundations for many of his later concepts. These works include Krishnamurti’s previous talks, discussions, responses to specific questions, and writings from the years 1933-1967. These are authentic recordings of his teachings. They were compiled from transcripts of verbatim briefhand reports and tape recordings. Jiddu Krishnamurti was the son of Brahmin parents in South India in 1895. Annie Besant, the then President of Theosophical Society (an international organization that stressed the unity of all religions), proclaimed him the World Teacher at the age of 14. The boy was adopted by Mrs. Besant and taken to England where he was educated. A new global organization was created in 1911 with Krishnamurti at its head. Its purpose was to prepare its members for his role as World Teacher. After many years of doubting his destiny and questioning himself, Krishnamurti disbanded the organization in 1929. He stated that truth is a land without paths and could not be reached by any religion or sect.
