'You have said that death is total annihilation and you have also said that there is immortality, a state of timeless existence. Can one live in that state?'

This channel is managed by the Krishnamurti Foundation Trust​​, UK​, and by the Krishnamurti Foundation of America.

The role of the foundations was described by Krishnamurti when he said,​ ​'The foundations will see to it that these teachings are kept whole, are not distorted, are not made corrupt. They will not give rise to any sectarian spirit in their activities... nor create any kind of place of worship around the teachings or the person.​'​

We maintain extensive archives of Krishnamurti's original works and all four Krishnamurti foundations are actively engaged in the publication of material in various forms.

Our videos contain thousands of subtitles in more than 25 languages, translated by volunteers from all over the world. If you would like to help us with translating subtitles, please contact us at [email protected]

    Living hand-in-hand with death all way long and each moment - I’m over the top grateful to you, dear speaker 🙏
  • @MrDrpk
    His command on so many languages is incredible amongst all other things

    Thought denies love! Love is not a remembrance. Love is not desire! We are the entire humanity, we are not individuals. If you drop everything that thought has created, love arises without any effort!

    “When thought predominates our life, as it does, then thought denies love. Love is not a remembrance. Love is not an experience.” 11:25

    Each word he says is worth writing down and reflecting for months together, incredible insight into the very essence of human existence and purpose of life

    I was just revealed a series of vital realizations, this is the definition of an ever-influential immortality. Namaste Krishnamurti. Namaste, everyone.
  • Really great work by the back supporters for us.....they are supporting we people. Great salutes Sir ..
  • Wow. What a clear explanation. After listening to him and had read his books for so many years, today I understood clearly what he is talking about "me" and its death. Amazing! Simply amazing!
  • @gaurav3290
    He knew many languages like French, Italian, Dutch. Wow.
  • @samidelcueva
    I think his idea of death is related to the ending of the existence of the illusion of the observer and the observed. It's something hard to grasp cause when he talks about memory it feels like something that you can't avoid having it. Also gives a sensation of losing identity, which is not a pleasant thing to think about it. But I feel that he means that identity is something that it's not fundamentally so, why are made in the same way in many ways. And that it's death? The ending of time? ( I want to be something different of what it is) and thought is generated by time? What is the sense of identity after that? Such an interesting thing

    we are all immortals . first of all We are all only ONE. I am here from Big bang and live forever infinitely in diffrent diffrent forms .

    Such good observations he gives! 7:02 How to face this terrible thing called living... and the vanities that societal structures burden us with. 8:52 Can we die to everything that 'thought' has built in us? It is so true that our thoughts - and worse, the thoughts and beliefs which others burden us with - have built our life. 13:49 We are trained to be individuals... but we bare all humanity's feelings. We have personal abilities... but they are not 'my gift' - that leads to vanity! 17:30 There's always the priest around the corner... or guru... they're all the same. Do good, go to heaven. This only appeals to the egocentric.
