This week’s podcast has five sections. The first extract (2:11) is from Krishnamurti’s second talk in New Delhi 1962, titled ‘Breaking down authority’.

The second extract (18:20) is from the fourth talk at Brockwood Park in 1975, titled ‘We accept the authority of gurus’.

The third extract (25:12) is from Krishnamurti’s third talk in Bombay 1967, titled ‘Spiritual authority is an evil thing’.

The final extract this week (50:59) is from Krishnamurti’s second talk in Saanen 1970, titled ‘Freedom implies the cessation of all authority’.

Each weekly episode in this season of the Krishnamurti podcast is based on a major theme of the revolutionary philosopher’s talks, such as freedom, self-knowledge, beauty, intelligence and meditation. Extracts from our archives have been carefully selected to represent Krishnamurti’s different approaches to each of these universal and timelessly relevant themes.
