“J. Krishnamurti: A Life of Compassion beyond Boundaries” by Roshen Dalal is now available in Bulgarian!

Among the most famous visionaries of our times, J. Krishnamurti (1895–1986) continues to transform thought, lifestyles, and education across continents more than three decades after his death.

In this new biography, tracing the nine long decades of his life, from his growing-up years, his relationships to his writings and talks, Roshen Dalal provides a much-needed corrective – an objective and balanced view of his legacy. Adopted by Theosophists at the age of fourteen, and proclaimed a world teacher and messiah, in 1929, Krishnamurti dissolved the Order of the Star created for him and went on to develop his own philosophy.

What is it about his ideas that draws the following of generations of people? While his ideas on education are idealistic, why do they continue to be everlasting in their contribution and appeal?

Krishnamurti’s vision is of a world without boundaries or wars, a world where compassion and goodness predominate, and his message is that such a world can be arrived at only through individual transformation.

What readers are saying:

★★★★★ “This is how biographies ought to be written – without using paint brushes to hide the flaws and warts – treating the subject holistically yet with honesty and sensitivity.”

★★★★★ “There are several books of J K that outlines his life and philosophy. So what is different about this book? It is written in a language that is direct and simple, without loosing the essence of his philosophy. Although i have read and heard about K’s life and listened to his talks, certain aspects of his life that feature very briefly only in other books, are laid out with greater clarity and I believe impartially. This book should be read by practitioners in the field of education. His educational thoughts that are more relevant today than before, are well explained in a way that is easy to understand.”

This is the Brazilian edition of “A friendship story: Heart & Mind” by Nishi Singhal that will be released shortly!

“Heart & Mind” by Nishi Singhal is a unique series that introduces mindfulness to the little ones and opens the door to rich conversations about thinking, feeling, and balancing both.

The underlying message for children is to combine “heartfulness” with “mindfulness”. The whimsical illustrations and the story keep you there in the magical world of the present. A must read for all ages, especially in such a fast paced world!

★★★★★ “I love this book so much. The author does a beautiful job of telling a story about flow and alignment, using beautiful images and simple characters of the heart and mind. The concepts not only resonated for my kids, but were such a great reminder for me of how good it feels to release the reigns of the mind (all the thinking and planning and needing to get just right…) and align with your true self/ heart/ inner being. We can effort our way through the day all we want; and we can flow and surrender a bit to see where the day takes us as well. Very thankful we get to have this in our collection. Looking forward to more from the author!”

★★★★★ “If I could give more than five stars I would! An excellent book!”

★★★★★ “An amazing description of how the Heart and Mind work together! Beautiful pictures too.”
