Reviews
During his lifetime Krishnamurti would often ask people who worked with him, "How will you convey the perfume of the teachings when K has gone'..". One of the values of The Beauty of the Mountain is its simple conveyance of that perfume or flavour. It is an unpretentious account ... by turns touching and humorous, and the author manages, despite his deep appreciation of Krishnamurti's rare qualities, to avoid the excesses of hero-worship or cult creation. Mary Cadogan, Trustee of Krishnamurti Foundation Trust Ltd There emerges from it an engaging and intimate portrait of Krishnaji which will be very helpful and interesting to those who did not have the privilege of knowing him. And for those who did, it gives little cameos that serve to remind one of the human characteristics of the extraordinary man who gave us those invaluable teachings. Stuart Holroyd, author of Krishnamurti - The Man, the Mystery and the Message This is really a very special book, that collects so many different aspects of K, both personal and philosophical, so unobtrusively - like a wonderful walk through changing landscapes. It is a subtle feat to go so deep while seeming to float on the surface of things. Gini Alhadeff, journalist and author in New York I think your memoir conveys the human side of K better than anything else I have read ... The sense of humour, the spontaneity, the practical and observant sides of his character ... and his gift for friendship and affection, all come- his great and singular love of them - which I find especially affecting. I am glad you included the two statements about the Schools, which are so clear and inspiring. Harry Eyres, journalist with the Financial Times in London ... when I lived with him I noted keenly that his intellect was like a tool which he would use intensively and then put aside in the midst of normal daily life; and that his normal presence was like that of an extremely alert child, responsive, full of wonder and affection. For this reason I think a book like yours is extremely important, since it stands as a witness to K's extraordinary humanity, which few people were privileged to see, and which indeed exemplifies what he talked about. It always seemed unfortunate to me that his public persona was so austere. Bill Quinn, who lived in Ojai and knew K from the 1940s onwards

Synopsis
This memoir is a unique documentation of traveling and learning with Krishnamurti. From the author's Introduction to The Beauty of the Mountain This book came about because Krishnamurti asked the people who were working with him...if we could convey the perfume of what it was like to be around him... A friend once asked me what had touched me most about the teachings. After some reflection I realized it was something Krishnamurti had said during a public talk and also in one of the discussions with David Bohm included in The Ending of Time . It was: Love has no cause . When people now ask me what Krishnamurti was like as a person, my first reply is that he was full of love and affection. It is clear to me that he lived what he was talking about. He was incredibly attentive and considerate and of course radically insightful. But I'm wary of reducing it, which is why I am including here virtually everything I remember - so one can get a general impression without (hopefully) my circumscribing it. The following excerpt from the book Questions and Answers led to the title The Beauty of the Mountain . It begins with a question that I could see myself asking Krishnamurti. Shall I talk about your teachings? Krishnamurti: All the religious preachings of the priests, the gurus, are promulgated by fragmented human beings. Though they say, "We are high up," they are still fragmented human beings. And the questioner says: I have understood what you have said somewhat, partially, not completely; I am not a transformed human being. I understand, and I want to tell others what I have understood. I do not say I have understood the whole, I have understood a part. I know it is fragmented, I know it is not complete, I am not interpreting the teachings, I am just informing you what I have understood. Well, what is wrong with that? But if you say: "I have grasped the whole completely and I am telling you" then you become an authority, the interpreter; such a person is a danger, he corrupts other people. But if I have seen something which is true I am not deceived by it; it is true and in that there is a certain affection, love, compassion; I feel that very strongly - then naturally I cannot help but go out to others; it would be silly to say I will not. But I warn my friends, I say, "Look, be careful, do not put me on a pedestal." The speaker is not on a pedestal. This pedestal, this platform, is only for convenience; it does not give him any authority whatsoever. But as the world is, human beings are tied to something or other - to a belief, to a person, to an idea, to an illusion, to a dogma - so they are corrupt; and the corrupt speak and we, being also somewhat corrupt, join the crowd. Seeing the beauty of these hills, the river, the extraordinary tranquility of a fresh morning, the shape of the mountains, the valleys, the shadows, how everything is in proportion, seeing all that, will you not write to your friend, saying, "Come over here, look at this"? You are not concerned about yourself but only about the beauty of the mountain. Questions and Answers, pp. 63-64 (c) 1982 Krishnamurti Foundation Trust Ltd In these recollections I would like to share with my friends, and whoever else may be interested, the beauty of the mountain.

The seller met two out of three categories I look for when judging my purchasing experience: how well it was packaged, how quickly it was shipped, and how properly it was described; this seller provided prompt shipping and an accurate description, but failed when it came to packaging. The item arrived in a plastic bag without any reinforcement or protection whatsoever and suffered dinged corners on multiple fronts.
