Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Durant sa longue existence, le penseur religieux J. Krishnamurti (1895-1986) a conquis l'esprit de millions de gens à travers l'Europe, l'Inde, l'Australie et l'Amérique du Nord. Disparu en 1986, il reste pour beaucoup une référence centrale dans les mouvements de libération spirituelle qui ont fleuri au XXe siècle. Parmi les nombreuses biographies qui lui ont été consacrées, celle qu'a écrite Radha Sloss occupe une place tout à fait à part qu'elle est sûre de conserver compte tenu de l'exceptionnelle qualité des souvenirs sur lesquels elle est basée: ceux de l'auteur, fille adoptive de Krishnamurti, ceux de son père ensuite, Desikacharya Rajagopal (dit Raja), meilleur ami et plus proche collaborateur de Krishnamurti pendant plus de quarante ans, et ceux de sa mère enfin, Rosalind, l'âme de leur foyer commun. Qu'est-ce que c'était que vivre avec Krishnamurti, et non pas seulement assister à ses conférences ou participer à des causeries avec lui, mais également partager sa vie de tous les jours, jouer avec lui et faire l'expérience de son inépuisable gentillesse avec les enfants et les animaux, contempler un ciel étoilé en sa compagnie. L'écouter évoquer sa propre enfance en Inde et la figure vénérée de sa mère trop tôt disparue. Faire grâce à lui la connaissance de personnages aussi intéressants qu'Aldous Huxley... Ecouter encore, de la bouche des autres adultes de son entourage, ces histoires extraordinaires: la création de la Société Théosophique, la sélection de Krishnamurti à l'âge de 15 ans par les Théosophes C.W. Leadbeater et Annie Besant pour servir de «véhicule» (moyen d'incarnation) à Lord Maitreya, l'accession de Krishnamurti à une indépendance spirituelle iconoclaste une vingtaine d'années plus tard. Avec talent, l'auteur nous raconte aussi, et c'est la partie dramatique de son livre-témoignage, comment, après avoir formé une véritable famille admirée pour son harmonie, Krishnamurti et ses parents ont été amenés à «divorcer». «Comment des idéaux de fraternité humaine, de renoncement à la violence contre toute créature, de libération de la peur, de l'ambition et de la culpabilité, comment des idéaux d'une telle élévation ont-ils pu dégénérer en une telle discorde ?» Vies dans l'Ombre avec J. Krishnamurti est à la fois une biographie non autorisée du philosophe religieux, une autobiographie où l'auteur revit avec nous sa merveilleuse enfance auprès de celui-ci et un réquisitoire affectueux mais sans concession contre le Krishnamurti des années 1960-80. Un document unique sur un guide spirituel de premier plan et un témoignage profondément émouvant.

Book excerpt: A classic biography of one of the greatest spiritual teachers of our times In 1909, when he was just fourteen, Krishnamurti was proclaimed the world teacher in whom Maitreya, the Bodhisattva of compassion, would manifest. The proclamation was made by Annie Besant, then president of the Theosophical Society, a movement that combined Western occult philosophy with Buddhist and Hindu teachings. Besant trained Krishnamurti in his role as the chosen one but twenty years later he chose to disband the order he was head of and set out alone on his endless journey— As a contemporary of Krishnamurti and one of his closest associates. Pupul Jayakar offers an insider's view of the fascinating life and thought of an extraordinary individual.
Download or read book The Life and Death of Krishnamurti written by Mary Lutyens and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J Krishnamurti (1896-1986) was one of the most important spiritual leaders of his time. Discovered by the Theosophist as a boy in India, he was groomed by them as the new Messiah, a role he rejected when he set out independently on his own spiritual quest. Travelling the world, lecturing and teaching, he acquired an enormous following, including many eminent statesmen and intellectuals. As one of Krishnamurti’s closest friends and devotees, Mary Lutyens is uniquely qualified to write his biography. Indeed, she has written three previous volumes on him, but only after his death in 1986 did she feel able to produce this book, bringing the life and philosophy of this fascinating and complex man into true perspective.

Download or read book Lives in the Shadow with J Krishnamurti written by Radha Rajagopal Sloss and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-08-31 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly half a century the charismatic, strikingly handsome spiritual teacher J. Krishnamurti gathered an enormous following throughout Europe, India, Australia and North America. From the age of eighteen he was the forerunner of the type of iconoclasm that would bring immediate fame to cult figures in the late twentieth century. Yet recent biographies have left large areas of his life in mystifying darkness. This, however, is no ordinary study of Krishnamurti, for it is written by one whose earliest memories are dominated by his presence as a doting second fathertolerant of pranks and pets, playful and diligent. For over two decades in their Ojai California haven, where Aldous Huxley and other pacifists found respite during the war years,Krinsh developed his philosophical message. He also placed himself at the centre of her parents Rosalind and Rajagopals marriage. In a spirit of tenderness, fairness, objective inquiry, and no little remorse, the author traces the rise of Krishnamurti from obscurity in India by selection of the Theosophical Society to be the vehicle of a new incarnation of their world teacher. Breaking from Theosophy, Krishnamurti inspired his own following, retaining the dedication of his longtime friend Rajagopal, himself highly educated, to oversee all practicalities and the editing and publication of his writings. How this bond of trust was breached and became clouded in confusion with a new wave of devoteeism lies at the heart of this extraordinary story. So does a portrait of intense romantic intimacy and the conundrum of Krishnamurtis own complex character.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "French Music and Trauma Between the World Wars illustrates that coping with trauma was a central concern for French musicians active after World War I. The losses and violent warfare of World War I shaped how interwar French musicians-from those fighting in the trenches and working in military hospitals to more well-known musicians-engaged with music. Situated at the intersections of musicology, history, sound and performance studies, and psychology and trauma studies, Resonant Recoveries argues that modernists' compositions and musical activities were sonorous locations for managing and performing trauma. Through analysis of archival materials, French medical, philosophical, and literary texts, and the music produced between the wars, this book illuminates how music emerged during World War I as an embodied technology of consolation. Resonant Recoveries demonstrates that music making came to be understood by French interwar musicians as a consolatory practice that enhanced their abilities to remember lost loved ones, gave them opportunities to perform their grief publicly and privately, allowed them to create healing bonds of friendship, and soothed them with sonic vibrations and the rhythmically regular bodily movements required in order to perform many French neoclassical compositions. In revealing the importance music making held for interwar French musicians, this book refigures French modernist music as a therapeutic medium for creators, performers, and audiences, while also underlining the importance of addressing trauma, mourning, and people's emotional lives in music scholarship"--

Book excerpt: In this important new book, the leading cultural theorist and philosopher Bernard Stiegler re-examines the relationship between politics and aesthetics in our contemporary hyperindustrial age. Stiegler argues that our epoch is characterized by the seizure of the symbolic by industrial technology, where aesthetics has become both theatre and weapon in an economic war. This has resulted in a ‘symbolic misery’ where conditioning substitutes for experience. In today’s control societies, aesthetic weapons play an essential role: audiovisual and digital technologies have become a means of controlling the conscious and unconscious rhythms of bodies and souls, of modulating the rhythms of consciousness and life. The notion of an aesthetic engagement, capable of founding a new communal sensibility and a genuine aesthetic community, has largely collapsed today. This is because the overwhelming majority of the population is now totally subjected to the aesthetic conditioning of marketing and therefore estranged from any experience of aesthetic inquiry. That part of the population that continues to experiment aesthetically has turned its back on those who live in the misery of this conditioning. Stiegler appeals to the art world to develop a political understanding of its role. In this volume he pays particular attention to cinema which occupies a unique position in the temporal war that is the cause of symbolic misery: at once industrial technology and art, cinema is the aesthetic experience that can combat conditioning on its own territory. This highly original work - the first in Stiegler’s Symbolic Misery series - will be of particular interest to students in film studies, media and cultural studies, literature and philosophy and will consolidate Stiegler’s reputation as one of the most original cultural theorists of our time.
