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]

    in the autumn of his life, i see he really aged gracefully. his wisdom flowing like an endless river
  • K passionately explained the whole movement of life for all to see and hear. However, all are not ready for such a psychological leap because of conditioning, comfort or laziness. However when one is through with suffering with ignorance for over 40 years, one learns really quick that suffering and all things are meaningless. Absolute freedom is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much K Foundation for keeping these talks relevant today.🙏

    50:59 “so to observe very carefully the minutest activity in that mirror , as you observe it , the mirror tells you the whole story , and then you can put aside the mirror ..because the mirror is not important , Relationship then becomes extraordinary important” thanks so much for this .🌻

  • What Krishnamurti is pointing out. I have had it happen a few time. Lmao long before I was aware of Krishnamurti! You can't think your way into it ! You may put the thinker at ease to make the jump, so to speak . It happens to you ! At first . In your absolute attention in a joyful act ! Your not thinking all that stuff is absent! When the thinker come awake again . I feels like you have been doing it for a half hour you feel awesome! Only to find that 8, 10 hours is gone by . You go wow ! ! , what just happened? That is the first you notice . Krishnamurti does it 24/7 He is very humble. When you find it ! Unexplainable the love , joy , knowing, No way the EGO can come to that. Only the you ! That's why he make his presentations the way he did !

    He seemed hurt when he said "I am my brother's keeper" in the last 2 minutes of the video. His younger brother's passing at a young age was an enormous loss for him (see Krishnamurti documentary).
