Dr RR Baliga's Philosophical Discourses: Jiddu Krishnamurti (India, 1895–1986 CE) – Freedom from the Known

Jiddu Krishnamurti challenged one of humanity's deepest assumptions—that wisdom must come from teachers, traditions, or systems. Instead, he argued that genuine understanding begins with self-observation and choiceless awareness.   In this short slide set, I summarize the life and ideas of Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895–1986)—the thinker who famously declared: "Truth is a pathless land."   📚 The slides explore: • His early life and break from the Theosophical movement • Core ideas from Freedom from the Known • The role of education and self-inquiry • Why his ideas still resonate in psychology, philosophy, and education   👩‍⚕️ I also included a special slide connecting his insights to healthcare practice, highlighting how self-awareness and attentive observation can deepen patient care.   Krishnamurti once suggested that real change begins not in systems—but in the transformation of the mind itself.   Curious to explore?   #Philosophy #Krishnamurti #FreedomFromTheKnown #SelfAwareness #Consciousness #Education #Psychology #Mindfulness #CriticalThinking #LifelongLearni
