Description
“J. Krishnamurti: The Years of Awakening” is a biography written by Mary Lutyens. The book, published in 1975, is the first volume of a three-part series that covers the life and teachings of Jiddu Krishnamurti, a prominent spiritual teacher and philosopher.
The first volume, “The Years of Awakening,” focuses on Krishnamurti’s early life, his discovery by the Theosophical Society, and his subsequent journey as a spiritual leader. Jiddu Krishnamurti was initially groomed by the Theosophical Society to be a world teacher, and the book explores his experiences and transformation as he questioned and eventually distanced himself from the organization.
Mary Lutyens, the author, had a personal connection with Krishnamurti, as she was the daughter of Emily Lutyens, a close associate of the Theosophist Annie Besant, who played a significant role in Krishnamurti’s early life. This connection allowed Mary Lutyens unique insights into Krishnamurti’s personal and spiritual development.
The subsequent volumes in the series are “J. Krishnamurti: The Years of Fulfillment” (1983) and “J. Krishnamurti: The Open Door” (1988). These books continue the exploration of Krishnamurti’s life, philosophy, and the impact of his teachings.
If you are interested in the life and teachings of J. Krishnamurti, “The Years of Awakening” is a foundational work that provides a detailed account of his formative years and the events that shaped his spiritual journey.
