This talk was organised at the Birla Academy Of Art & Culture, Kolkata. The talk was followed by an interaction with the audience. It is a theme that was considered to be of vital importance by J Krishnamurti, the renowned world teacher, and led to the creation of schools in India, Ojai (USA) and Brockwood (UK) based on his vision. It seems fairly clear that unless there is a transformation in consciousness through right education, the future will be no different from the past and present. Professor P Krishna was a close associate of J Krishnamurti and is a Trustee of the Krishnamurti Foundation.
