Krishnamurti on Activism and Social Change

‘We are always talking about outward change in the social structure, either through violence or through peaceful means. The problem is much deeper than mere social change.’ This episode on Activism & Social Change has three sections. The first extract (2:48) is from the third discussion with young adults in Saanen 1968, and is titled: Where Should Change Begin? The second extract (24:20) is from Krishnamurti’s first talk in Rome 1968, and is titled Can We Change the Social Order? The final extract in this episode (57:55) is from the first talk in New York 1971, and is titled: You Are Totally Responsible for What Is Happening in the World. The Krishnamurti Podcast features carefully selected extracts from Krishnamurti’s recorded talks. Each episode highlights his different approaches to universal, timeless themes that affect our everyday lives, the state of the world, and the future of humanity. This episode’s theme is Activism & Social Change. Upcoming themes are Children, Detachment and Harmony.
