The Star Publishing Trust, 1936. Paperback of Authentic Report of Twenty-five Talks given by Krishnamurti in Latin America by J. Krishnamurti.

Born in British colonial India, Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895–1986) was being groomed as a spiritual messiah by the Theosophical Society when he famously renounced that role, declaring that “truth is a pathless land.” Afterwards, Krishnamurti travelled the world as a philosopher and speaker urging people to observe their own minds and conditioning to find truth. He lived, taught and died in Ojai, California, which became a central hub for his talks, dialogues, and writings on psychological freedom and self-inquiry.

Hey, Old Al here. I gotta say, back in my California days, before becoming Old, I had visited Ojai on many occasions--hiking its trails, shopping its legendary yard sales, Bart's Books (of course), and using a fruit picking pole to steal its inhabitants lemons and oranges. While I was unaware of Krishnamurti in those days, I did visit his spiritual center as it sits ontop a mountain and hosts a beautiful garden, two things that I am oft trying to visit. Had I known of Krishnamurti then I might have extended my stay in Ojai by years, hostilely taking over Bart's Books for income. So it is better that I did not.

Good condition. Contains a few light marginal markings throughout that do not obscure text. Otherwise a solid book with shelf wear.
