Page 5 - JOURNAL OF THE KRISHNAMURTI SCHOOLS

Note on the special issue

The Journal of the Krishnamurti Schools has been in existence since
1997. It began with the intention of providing a forum for the
teachers of Krishnamurti schools all over the world to share their
experiences and insights in education. In the twenty-four volumes
published thus far it has also had occasional contributions from
other educationists, philosophers, anthropologists and artistes.
This twenty-fifth volume is a special issue that commemo-
rates 125 years of Krishnamurti. Making a departure from our
customary compilation of articles written by teachers and educa-
tors, largely from the Krishnamurti schools, for this issue we have
invited contributions from several eminent individuals. Repre-
senting a wide range of fields of endeavour, all of them have either
met Krishnamurti, been deeply touched by his teachings, worked
in the Foundations set up by him, or are otherwise conversant with
his teachings. By their very nature, these pieces reflect the impact
of Krishnamurti’s teachings on the authors’ lives as well as more
generally on humanity. The ambit of this volume thus reaches well
beyond the concerns of educating young people in schools, to the
broader sense of an ‘education for humankind’, which was the
raison d’etre of Krishnamurti’s life and mission.
