Krishnamurti – The Years of Awakening

A biography by
MARY LUTYENS

“I do not want followers. I desire to free humanity from all cages, from all fears.”
– J. Krishnamurti

In 1909, a boy of 14 years was acclaimed as the saviour of our age. Sent from his native India to study in England, the charismatic youth was groomed for the messianic role of World Teacher—a mantle he would ultimately cast off, unleashing a storm of controversy. Thereafter he travelled the world for 60 years and became a shining beacon of joy and truth to millions the world over.

Author Mary Lutyens, who had known Krishnamurti since she was three years old, has drawn on the unpublished letters and personal recollections of the great man to paint an intimate, dramatic and insightful portrait of a remarkable teacher and spiritual leader.
