Interesting critical Radio 3 discussion documentary repeat broadcast on the Indian-born mystic - well worth hearing again if previously missed:
Thurs 7 Sept
9.15pm - Krishnamurti in England
Artist Paul Purgas reassesses the legacy of spiritual teacher and writer Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986), one of the first thinkers to bring Eastern philosophy to a western audience. The Dalai Lama described him as 'one of the greatest philosophers of the age'. So why has he faded from view? Contributions include pianist Maria João Pires, writer and musician TM Krishna and others.
