Jiddu Krishnamurti Livres

Krishnamurti (1895-1986) a été un penseur qui a remis en question les idées reçues de son époque. Depuis 1929, il a pris la parole à travers le monde, continuant d’inspirer un large public même après sa mort. Sa quête est de réfléchir sur la manière dont l'homme peut accéder à la vérité de la vie en se libérant des entraves telles que l'instruction, la mémoire et les traditions. Il ne propose aucun remède, affirmant que la liberté et la découverte de soi doivent être vécues individuellement. Pour comprendre le réel, il est essentiel de se connaître soi-même, et la première étape vers cette libération est de fuir le conditionnement pour laisser émerger un état créatif. Cette délivrance de l'esprit statique permettra à chacun de devenir l'architecte d'une nouvelle société. Mary Lutyens (1908-1999), experte de la pensée de Krishnamurti, a contribué à la publication de cet ouvrage en France en 1970. Composé de seize chapitres, il aborde des réflexions essentielles de la pensée krishnamurtienne, se concentrant sur la quête d'une véritable connaissance de soi, libre des schémas préétablis. Krishnamurti rejette les idées toutes faites, notamment religieuses, et appelle à une révolution vers le vivant. En décryptant l'origine de nos peurs et de la violence, il nous invite à voir plutôt qu'à chercher des recettes pour la joie, car voir, c'est déjà agir.

Quinze ans après sa mort, la pensée de Krishnamurti demeure une référence dès lors qu'on parle de spiritualité et de méditation. Loin de prétendre à fonder une église ou une secte, ce philosophe inclassable invite chacun de nous à prendre conscience des multiples conditionnements qui l'environnent - idéologies, croyances, modèles sociaux... - afin de s'en dégager et de trouver en lui-même la source de sa liberté. Le présent livre offre un ample panorama des thèmes les plus souvent abordés dans son enseignement : la souffrance, le désir, l'amour, la mort. Les chapitres de l'ouvrage correspondent aux mois de l'année et comportent chacun quatre thèmes de réflexion. C'est la manière idéale de découvrir la pensée de Krishnamurti.

Le sens du bonheur ? L’art de chercher la vérité et la liberté intérieure, loin de tout maître. L’enseignement de Krishnamurti repose sur la conviction que les transformations de la société ne peuvent se faire qu’au terme d’une transformation des individus. Critique vis-à-vis des religions et des sectes, Krishnamurti n’a eu de cesse de répéter que le bonheur ne peut passer que par le refus de tout type d’autorité. « Dès l’instant où vous suivez quelqu’un, vous cessez de suivre la vérité. » C’est le sens des multiples conférences et causeries qu’il a données pendant des dizaines d’années, partout dans le monde et dont certaines sont réunies ici. Le Sens du bonheur nous permet de voir le monde autrement. Sans parti pris, universelle, la parole de Krishnamurti nous fait découvrir les racines mêmes de nos problèmes personnels et ceux de la société qui nous entoure. Elle nous apprend l’art de voir et d’écouter avec notre cœur. Et à découvrir la vérité qui est en nous.

« Se mettre en quête de quelque chose, c'est faire une recherche. Ensemble, nous allons chercher, trouver, découvrir la réponse juste », disait Krishnamurti à ses élèves.En dialoguant avec eux, en répondant aux questions qui prenaient leur source dans les complexités de la vie et les difficultés quotidiennes, il explique ici divers aspects de son enseignement, en apportant une compréhension profonde sur ce que sont les émotions, la vérité, l'espoir, le moi et son dépassement, le sens de l'action ou encore de la liberté.Jiddu Krishnamurti , né à Madanapalle le 12 mai 1895 et décédé à Ojai le 17 février 1986, est un philosophe d'origine indienne.

Krishnamurti (1895-1986), l'un des plus grands maîtres du XXe siècle, a marqué du sceau de sa personnalité hors du commun l'histoire du rapprochement de l'Orient et de l'Occident.Reconnu dès son enfance comme un messie par la Société théosophique, il rompt publiquement toute attache avec ce mouvement à l'âge de vingt ans. A l'encontre de tout sectarisme et de tout dogmatisme, il refuse par la suite d'être affilié à une quelconque tendance religieuse. Héritier de la maïeutique chère à Socrate, son enseignement appelant chacun à une "révolution du silence" a fait le tour du monde.Ce livre a valeur de testament spirituel : il rassemble six entretiens conduits entre janvier 1981 et décembre 1985 par Lakshmi Prasad, un de ses proches, dont les questions originales permettent d'éclairer d'une lumière nouvelle sa démarche et ses enseignements sur la science, l'éducation, les valeurs morales ou encore la religion.

Krishnamurti's essential message is that to find truth, we must go beyond the limits of ordinary thought. In public talks worldwide, he strove to free listeners from conventional beliefs and psychological mind-sets in order to understand what is. This 3-volume series records his meetings with individual seekers from all walks of life, during which he comments on the struggles common to those who work to break the boundaries of personality and self-limitation. This second volume of the 3-part series includes discussions of creative happiness, devotion, worship, the fear of death, karma and an experience of bliss.

A leading spiritual teacher of the twentieth century presents meditation as a tool for better understanding not just ourselves but the world around us These selections present the core of Krishnamurti's teaching on meditation, taken from discussions with small groups, as well as from public talks to large audiences. His main theme is the essential need to look inward, to know ourselves, in order really to understand our own—and the world's—conflicts.

He explores universal themes such as gossip, wealth disparity, virtue, love, belief, and fear, offering reflections that resonate with the human experience. Through his thought-provoking commentary, he encourages readers to confront and understand the complexities of life, making this work a relevant guide for personal growth and self-awareness.

This comprehensive record of Krishnamurti's teachings is an excellent, wide-ranging introduction to the great philosopher's thought. With among others, Jacob Needleman, Alain Naude, and Swami Venkatasananda, Krishnamurti examines such issues as the role of the teacher and tradition; the need for awareness of 'cosmic consciousness; the problem of good and evil; and traditional Vedanta methods of help for different levels of seekers.

Part of a series of books by Krishnamurti, this book looks at education. He maintains that if the individual could learn to see his conditioniong of race, nationality, religion, dogma, tradition, etc., as inevitably leading to conflict, then he could begin to undo their damaging influence.

One of the great teachers of the twentieth century shows a more intimate side in this collection of letters, written to a young person who was suffering in both body and mind

When KrishnamurtiOs Notebook first became available in 1976, it was soon realized that it was a spiritually unique document giving his perceptions and experiences and describing his states of consciousness. It is a kind of diary but one that is little concerned with the day to day process of living, though very much aware of the natural world.

"In these talks, given in Europe and India, Krishnamurti goes into the importance of going into problems openly, without conclusions. ""..because we approach our problems partially, through all these various forms of conditioning, it seems to me that we are thereby not understanding them. I feel that the approach to any problem is of much more significance than the problem itself, and that if we could approach our many difficulties without any particular form of conditioning or prejudice, then perhaps we would come to a fundamental understanding of them."

“... There are various powers... You call them siddhis, don’t you? Do you know that all these things are like candles in the sun? When there is no sun there is darkness, and then the candle and the light of the candle become very important. But when there is the sun, the light, the beauty, the clarity, then all these powers, these siddhis–developing various centres, chakras, kundalini, you know all that business–are like candlelight; they have no value at all. And when you have that light, you don’t want anything else.” -- J.

To Be Human presents Krishnamurti's radical vision of life in a new way. At the heart of this extraordinary collection are passages from the great teacher's talks that amplify and clarify the nature of truth and those obstacles that often prevent us from seeing it. Most of these core teachings have not been available in print until now. Besides presenting the core of Krishnamurti's message, the book alerts the reader to his innovative use of language, the ways in which he would use "old words with new interpretations," then gives practical examples, showing that we can clarify our understanding of life itself—and act on this new understanding. The splendid introduction by David Skitt discusses Krishnamurti's philosophy as a guide to knowledge and experience, the roles knowledge and experience should play in our lives, and the times when it is best to cast them aside and "look and act anew." The book's source notes will aid the inquisitive reader who wishes a deeper understanding of this great teacher's message.

Talks and discussions done by the author in 1970 at different places.

In 1950 Krishnamurti said: "It is only when the mind is not escaping in any form that it is possible to be in direct communion with that thing we call lonliness, the alone, and to have communion with that thing, there must be affection, there must be love." On Love and Lonliness is a compelling investigation of our intimate relationships with ourselves, others, and society. Krishnamurti suggests that "true relationship" can come into being only when there is self-knowledge of the conditions which divide and islolate individuals and groups. Only by renouncing the self can we understand the problem of lonliness, and truly love.

Krishnamurti's last journal, spoken into a tape recorder at his home, Pine Cottage, in the Ojai Valley, brings the reader close to this renowned spiritual teacher.

‘The material contained in this volume was originally presented in the form of talks to students, teachers and parents in India, but its keen penetration and lucid simplicity will be deeply meaningful to thoughtful people everywhere, of all ages, and in every walk of life. Krishnamurti examines with characteristic objectivity and insight the expressions of what we are pleased to call our culture, our education, religion, politics and tradition; and he throws much light on such basic emotions as ambition, greed and envy, the desire for security and the lust for power – all of which he shows to be deteriorating factors in human society.’ From the Editor’s Note ‘Krishnamurti’s observations and explorations of modern man’s estate are penetrating and profound, yet given with a disarming simplicity and directness. To listen to him or to read his thoughts is to face oneself and the world with an astonishing morning freshness.’ Anne Marrow Lindbergh

Focusing on pressing global issues, this collection features previously unpublished speeches and informal talks by Krishnamurti, addressing themes of war, politics, and international tensions. His insights are particularly relevant in today's climate of overwhelming negativity and discord, offering a thoughtful perspective that encourages reflection and understanding amidst chaos.

A classic collection of excerpts from one of the great spiritual leaders of the twentieth century--now in the newly designed Shambhala Pocket Library series. Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895–1986) went from his origins in a small south Indian village to become one of the great spiritual teachers of the twentieth century. He taught that the only way to create peace on earth is to transform the human psyche—but that there is no path to this transformation, no method for achieving it, and no gurus nor spiritual authorities who can help. Rather, the transformation is a truth that each of us must discover within ourselves. This classic collection of brief excerpts from Krishnamurti’s books and talks presents the essence of his teaching on meditation—a state of attention, beyond thought, which brings total freedom from authority and ambition, fears and separateness.

J. Krishnamurti was one of the most influential spiritual figures of the twentieth century. With great insight and immediacy, these teachings explore what Krishnamurti calls "the art of living." He addresses such topics as the way of life without conflict; skill and clarity in action; living and dying; and meditation and the sacred in daily life. This material comes together to create a little gem to be taken to heart in living our lives simply and intelligently.

On Truth questions the very nature of reality and asks whether truth can be found by following any belief or teacher. Krishnamurti taught that truth comes uninvited, with glory, when one puts all in order, and in that there is great sacredness.

Reprezentativní antologie učení Jiddu Krishnamurtiho ukazuje v plné šíři skryté kořeny problémů člověka: zdeformované myšlení, které si samo nevědomě vytváří různé strachy, frustrace a konflikty. K řešení všech problémů je nutné skutečné porozumění, tj. poznání pravdy a poznání vlastní psychiky. K poznání sebe sama je potřebná stálá bdělá pozornost, stálé uvědomování si všech svých duševních hnutí. A tímto uvědoměním je pak možné dojít až k vlastní radikální transformaci, opravdové vnitřní revoluci. Krishnamurtiho racionální přístup - jenž se nezakládá na žádném náboženském systému ani na nějaké víře, ale naopak proti nim ostře vystupuje - zaznamenal velký úspěch v moderním západním světě a ovlivnil i mnohé významné vědce a spisovatele, mj. Davida Bohma, Ruperta Sheldrakea a Aldouse Huxleyho.

Východiskem pro tyto rozhovory byla otázka: "Jaká je budoucnost lidstva?", říká ve své předmluvě dr. David Bohm. A pak pokračuje: "Tato otázka je nyní životně důležitá pro každého, poněvadž je naprosto zřejmé, že moderní věda a technika daly nesmírné možnosti destrukci."

Čo máme robiť,ak vyrastáme a žijeme v dobe plnej chaosu?Narástlo vôbec v týchto časoch rýchleho vedeckéhoa technologického pokroku porozumenie človeka samému sebe?Je priebeh nášho života nejakým spôsobom predurčený vzorcamiz minulosti? Je možné žiť inak? Aký má to všetko význam?Jeden z najväčších svetových duchovných učiteľov ponúkav odpovediach na tieto a mnohé iné otázky svoj múdry pohľadna dôležité témy ľudského života, ako sú vzťahy, láska, práca,strach a osamelosť. Vysvetľuje, ako sa na križovatkách životarozhodovať tak, aby sme zostali verní sami sebe a prevzalizodpovednosť za spôsob života, ktorý si zvolíme.Táto kniha je určená všetkým hľadajúcim, ale najmä mladýmľuďom, ktorí práve vstupujú do života.

V průběhu sedmi měsíců roku 1961 a 1962 si Jiddu Krishnamurti bez zjevného záměru pořizoval denní záznamy svých hlubokých transcendentálních zkušeností, vjemů a stavů vědomí. Asi netušil, jak působivé svědectví o svém vnitřním světě do zápisků vtěluje. Deník nám umožňuje poznat Krishnamurtiho nejen jako intelektuálně vytříbeného duchovního zasvěcence a analytika lidské psychiky, ale také jako neobyčejně citlivého a vnímavého pozorovatele přírody v její celistvosti i detailech. Autor mimo jiné učí, že skutečnou krásu lze zažívat pouze za naprostého utišení mysli, ve stavu úplného odosobnění, v němž není místa pro úsilí ani chtění. Jde o dílo, které svým obsahem i formou zcela vybočuje z autorovy tvorby. Nikdy předtím ani nikdy potom si takové zápisky nepsal. Deník patří k tomu nejlepšímu, co nám tento vynikající znalec ducha zanechal.

Podtitul: Duchovní rozjímání o světě člověka V příbězích o životě rozvíjí hinduistický náboženský učitel a myslitel Krišnamurti své učení a pomáhá hledajícím objevovat všudypřítomnou pravdu a věčnost zde a nyní, zbavením ega nalézat sebe sama.

Kniha padesáti přednášek, které formou otázek a odpovědí představují základní filosofická tázání po smyslu bytí. Padesát krátkých přednášek, které přednesl významný hinduistický myslitel, se soustřeďuje na okruh otázek, které se týkají především bytí. Přednášky jsou členěny do čtyř časových cyklů: první okruh se zabývá problémem jáství, druhý a třetí okruh je věnován psychologii lidských vztahů a jejich filosofii, čtvrtý pak otázkám a pojmům jako je soucit, zkaženost, zodpovědnost, víra a modlitba, svoboda. Autor vychází z předpokladu, že život jako takový je celistvý, klást obzvláštní důraz na jednotlivost, trápit se pro detaily, vede k sebezničení. Rovněž veškeré představy Boha, iluze máme různé, avšak model je totožný. Problémy vznikají především ve vztazích s druhými lidmi, mohou však být vyřešeny, nejsme-li pohodlní. Přednášky probíhaly v Anglii a Kalifornii od srpna 1979 do září 1980.

Liebe und Freiheit, Selbsterkenntnis und Mitgefühl - das sind die existenziellen Themen des Menschseins, über die Krishnamurti spricht.

Eine solche Liebe hat die Kraft, uns und unsere Welt zu verwandeln.

„Krishnamurti vyslovil nejvyšší poselství svého díla již v mládí. Jeho cílem je osvobodit lidstvo od zničující podmíněnosti myšlení, soustředěného jen na sebe, která vede k zotročování, k absurditě, k ničení, k neštěstí a žalu. A pokud se neosvobodíme od této podmíněnosti, žádná jiná svoboda nemá vůbec smysl.“ – David Bohm

Wie finde ich das Glück? - Warum wollen wir immer mehr? Was ist Eifersucht? - Wache Tiefgründigkeit und leuchtende Klarheit im Blick auf das Leben: Der indische Weisheitslehrer schenkt überraschende Einsichten und überzeugende Orientierung. (amazon.de)

Jiddu Krishnamurti war ein Redner, der sich auf unvergleichliche Weise auf die Kunst des Vortrags und des Dialogs verstand. Inhalt seiner Vorträge und Diskussionen waren nicht philosophische Theorien, sondern aktuelle Menschheitsfragen, Fragen von Krieg und Frieden, von Natur und Kultur, von Gegenwart und Zukunft. Krishnamurti war ein zutiefst skeptischer Denker. Sein Vertrauen in den Menschen als Gattung war nicht sonderlich groß. Zumal in seinen letzten Jahren warnte er, angesichts von Natur- und Menschenvernichtung, von Übertechnisierung und Massenkonsum und der ungerechten Verteilung von Reichtümern auf der Welt, vor der drohenden Menschheitskatastrophe. Er wurde nicht müde, zur Besinnung und zur Änderung unserer oberflächlichen Auffassung vom Menschen aufzurufen. Krishnamurti vermittelt uns eine an keinem Ideal und an keiner Tradition orientierte, lebensnahe 'Kunst des Lernens', die zur Weltoffenheit führt und dem Menschen ein Zusammenleben in Freiheit möglich macht.

Diese zutiefst poetischen und kraftvollen Briefe schrieb Krishnamurti zwischen 1948 und 1960 an einen jungen Freund, der an Körper und Seele verwundet zu ihm gekommen war. In ihnen offenbart Krishnamurti sein Mitgefühl und seine außergewöhnliche Klarheit. Trennung und Distanz zum Leser scheinen zu verschwinden; die Worte fließen aus seiner Feder, und doch ist nicht ein einziges Wort überflüssig. Ein einzigartiges Dokument, durch das jeder Leser in eine persönliche Lehrsituation mit Krishnamurti eintritt, denn der Empfänger dieser Briefe steht stellvertretend für jeden Suchenden.

Der große Weisheitslehrer Jiddu Krishnamurti gibt zeitlos gültige Antworten auf Fragen wie: Was wollen wir wirklich von Herzen tun? Wie gehen wir mit Problemen wie Angst, Eifersucht oder Trauer um? Was bedeuten uns Religion, Tod, Meditation oder Gott? Seine Vision eines erfüllenden Lebens wird hier in inspirierender und äußerst kompakter Form lebendig.

Dieses Buch entstammt der ersten Begegnung des jungen Krishnamurti mit den 'Meistern der Weisheit'. In einfachen Worten erklären ihm diese großen Menschheitslehrer die geistigen Gesetzmäßigkeiten. Lehren, die in ihrer schlichten Schönheit und tiefen Wahrheit Millionen von Menschen berühren sollten.§Der größte Klassiker des modernen spirituellen Schrifttums, der in seiner zeitlosen Weisheit immer wieder Inspiration und Ermutigung schenkt.§Ein einzigartiges geistiges Juwel!§

13 yaşındayken "dünya öğretmeni" seçilen Krishnamurti, hayatını dünyayı dolaşarak, insanlarla, yaşama ve dünyaya dair konuşarak geçirdi. Kendisine mesihlik yakıştırılmış olmasına rağmen bunu hiçbir zaman kabul etmedi. Onun için, karşılaştığı herkes başlı başına bir "birey"di. Bu nedenle öğretmekten çok paylaşmayı ilke edindi. Yine de dünya üzerindeki milyonlarca kişi ondan çok şey öğrendi. "Hakikatin kalıcı olduğuna, ölümsüz bir ruh taşıdığınız için korkmanız gerekmediğine dair teoriler zihinleri çürüyen, tutarlı bir felsefeleri olmayan, korkmuş insanlar tarafından üretilmiştir. Gerçek şu ki hakikat yaşamdır ve yaşam için kalıcılık söz konusu değildir. Yaşamın her an, her gün yeniden keşfedilmesi gerekir, yaşamın ne olduğunu biliyorum diyemezsiniz. Yaşamın ne olduğunu biliyorum demek, yaşamıyorsunuz demektir. Yaşam keşfedilecek bir şeydir ve bulduğunuz şeyleri bir kenara itmez, kaybetmezseniz onu keşfedemezsiniz. Düşünen, 'bilmiyorum' diyen, keşfeden, öğrenen, bir son aramayan, bir yere varma, bir şey olma motivasyonuyla düşünmeyen kişi yaşar ve bu yaşam, hakikattir." (Tanıtım Bülteninden)
