Krishnamurti on Gurus

‘Why do you ask help of another? This is a very serious problem because gurus are multiplying, with enormous wealth.’ This week’s episode on Gurus has three sections. The first extract (2:44) is from the first question and answer meeting in Saanen 1980, titled: Doubt What Gurus Are Saying. The second extract (19:20) is from the first question and answer meeting in Ojai 1983, titled: There Is No Right Guru, Only the Wrong Guru. The final extract in this episode (29:07) is from the first question and answer meeting at Brockwood Park in 1981, titled: What Makes You Want To Follow a Guru? Each episode of the Krishnamurti podcast is compiled from carefully chosen extracts from the archives, representing Krishnamurti’s different approaches to many of the fundamental issues and questions we all face in our lives. This week’s theme is Gurus. Upcoming themes are Opinion and Judgment, Stimulation and Aloneness.
