As the title of this book indicates, Total Freedom: The Essential Krishnamurti is both an introduction to Krishnamurti’s teachings and an essential, extensive collection. It includes selections that range from his early works to the talks he gave before his death, besides excerpts from his well-known books; these consist of talks, writings, and dialogues. All these provide valuable insights into the human condition, the nature of the self and of awareness, and the mystery of life and death. Philosophic fads came and went; Krishnamurti endured’, says Professor Ralph Buultjens in his Foreword to the book.

In his Introduction, Dr Allan W Anderson explains why he has deliberately avoided taking an academic approach to Krishnamurti’s teachings: ‘To have done so would have falsified his spirit and quite missed the mark of his message.’

In 1977, Krishnamurti met with a group of Trustees of the Krishnamurti Foundations and, for more than a month, talked to them about the importance of living the teachings and thereby keeping it alive in the schools and adult study centres he had founded. ‘The very teachings are sacred, holy. The investigation of that teaching leads to, or brings about, the truth, which is holy. And if we are committed to that, to the investigation…
