Described by the Dalai Lama as ‘one of the greatest thinker’s of the age’, J, Krishnamurti’s revolutionary teachings on personal freedom and the search for truth have influenced millions of people throughout the twentieth century.
Counted among his admirers are Jonas Salk, Aldous Huxley, David Hockney, and Van Morrison, along with countless other philosophers, artist, writers and students of the spiritual path. Now the trustees of Krishnamurti’s work have gathered his very best and most illuminating writings and talks to present in one volume the truly essential ideas of this great spiritual thinker.
Total Freedom includes selections from Krishnamurti’s early works, his ‘Commentaries on Living’, and his discourses on life, the self, meditation, sex and love. These writings reveal Krishnamuri’s core teachings in their full eloquence and power: the nature of personal freedom; the mysteries of life and death; and the ‘pathless land’, the personal search for truth and peace. Warning readers away from blind obedience to creeds or teachers – including himself – Krishnamurti celebrated the individual quest for truth, and thus became on of the most influential guides for independent-minded seekers of the twentieth century – and beyond.

J Krishnamurti (1895-1986) was a renowned spiritual teacher who shared his wisdom around the world through lectures and books.
Described by the Dalai Lama as 'one of the greatest thinkers of the age", J. Krishnamurti has influenced millions throughout the twentieth century, and his thoughts continue to resonate even a decade after his death. His words have influenced such notables as Dr. Jonas Salk, Aldous Huxley, Joseph Campbell, Van Morrison, Bruce Lee, and countless others students of the spiritual path, ranging from scientists to philosophers to artists of all kinds. Practical, profound, and timeless, Krishnamurti's ideas- rejecting the prejudices of traditional learning, celebrated personal, spiritual freedom and the individual's search for Truth – are inspiring now more than ever. Collected in this comprehensive volume are the most illuminating and essential of his writings and talks: words that are of vital relevance to today's spiritual environment, and catalytic in guiding us toward a deeper understanding of ourselves, our place in the universe, and the mysteries of the human condition.
'Total Freedom' is both an introduction to Krishnamurti and an essential, extensive collection. It includes selections from his early work to his later 'Krishnamurti to Himself: His Last Journal', and his valuable insight into the nature of the self, meditation, sex, love, and the mysteries of life and death. Revealing his core teachings in all their eloquence and power, these writings incite us to recognise that, 'Truth is a pathless land', to accept no spiritual authority- not even himself- and to think critically, that we may free our minds and see clearly on our own personal journey.
"[Krishnamurti's] language is naked, revelatory and inspiring. It pierces the clouds of philosophy which confound our thought and restores the springs of action...He initiated no new faith or dogma, questioned everything, cultivated doubt and perseverance, freed himself of illusion and enchantment and pride, vanity, and every subtle form of dominion over others...I know no other living man whose thought is more inspiring".
HENRY MILLER
"In my own life Krishnamurti influenced me profoundly and helped me personally break through the confines of my own self-imposed restrictions to my freedom".
