Enkele referenties over Krishnamurti :

Times (London), literary supplement: "There is nothing vague

Franz Beckenbauer: "I keep a copy of Freedom From The Known
by my bedside... you should also read that book".

Aldous Huxley: " . . . the most impressive thing i have listened to.
it was like listening to a discourse of the Buddha ..."

George Bernard Shaw: called Krishnamurti "a religious figure of
the greatest distinction" and added, "he is the most beautiful
human being I have ever seen."

Van Morrison: "I feel the meaning of Krishnamurti for our time is
that one has to think for oneself and not be swayed by any
outside religious or spiritual authorities."

Dalai Lama: "One of the greatest thinkers of the age "

Time magazine: named K, along with mother Teresa, as "one of

Deepak Chopra: "Krishnamurti influenced me profoundly and
helped me personally break through the confines of my own self-

Alan Watts: "A strong ally who awakened responsive chords in me
by the freshness of a way of thinking that was quite outside the
usual ruts of moral and spiritual teaching. "

Henry Miller: wrote, "there is no man i would consider it a greater
privelege to meet". "I know of no living man whose thought is
more inspiring." "there is a name . . . which stands out in contrast
to all that is secret, suspect, confusing, bookish and enslaving:
Krishnamurti. Here is one man of our time who may be said to be
a master of reality. He stands alone..." "[his] language is naked,
revelatory and inspiring. . . instead of an obstacle race or a rat
trap, it makes of daily life a joyous pursuit. there is something
about Krishnamurti's utterances which makes the reading of
books seem utterly superfluous."

Khalil Gibran: "When he entered my room I said to myself, 'surely
the lord of love has come'."
