This new collections of J Krishnamurti's Letters to the Schools combines the letters originally published in Volume I (1981) and Volume II (1985) with seventeen previously unpublished letters from earlier years. The insights in these letters will be valued by parents, educators, students of education, and others concerned about the failure of educational systems to nurture the full development of graduates with a deep sense of human worth and dignity, which may create a global society based on priorities beyond materialism.
life ahead

Education is central to Krishnamurti's vision of life, and Life Ahead is the first collection of his talks to students, teachers, and parents. The book covers a wide range of themes-the danger of competition which, breeding fear, prevents the mind from being fully receptive to experience; the necessity of a healthy body so that there is no conflict between body, mind, and emotion; the value of solitude; the need to understand both the conscious and the unconscious mind so that there can be an end to self-contradiction; and the critical difference between concentration and attention, between knowledge and learning.

A Timeless Spring is a book with a difference. It presents a historical record of Krishnamurti's relationship to a particular place and its people over many decades. Included are some of the great public talks given here, in this pilgrim city, on meditation, death, and creation. There are also dialogues with Sanskrit pundits and Buddhist Scholars, which evoke the timeless quality of his Teaching. The section on education is very special, for his talks and discussions with students and teachers are simple and direct. Each of these sections carries the flavour of Krishnamurti's presence at Rajghat, linking myth and history with a vibrant present.

"The function of education is to bring about a release of energy in the pursuit of goodness, truth, or God, which in turn makes the individual a true human being and therefore the right kind of citizen... As a river creates the banks which hold it, so the energy which seeks truth creates its own discipline without any form of imposition, and as the river finds the sea, so that energy finds its own freedom." 'It is also problem to find out what God is, because that is the very foundation of our life. A house cannot stand for long without a proper foundation, and all the cunning inventions of man will be meaningless if we are not seeking out what is God of truth.'
on living and dying

On Living and Dying is one of a series of theme books compiled from the talks, writings, and dialogues of J.Krishnamurti. Some of the other titles in this series are On God, On Relationship, On Freedom, On Love and Loneliness and On Fear. To understand death, you have to understand life. But life is not the continuity of thought; it is this very continuity that has bred all our misery. So can the mind bring death from the distant to the immediate? Do you follow? Actually, death is not somewhere far away; it is here and now. It is here when you are talking, when you are going to office. It is here at every minute of life, just as love is. If once you perceive this fact, then you will find that there is no fear of death at all.’
