Krishnamurti on Society

‘We need a new society; and that society is not going to be created by anybody except by you. I do not think we feel the immense responsibility of this.’ This week’s episode on Society has five sections. The first extract (2:29) is from Krishnamurti’s fourth question and answer meeting in Ojai 1981, titled ‘What is your relationship to society?’ The second extract (8:36) is from the third talk in Madras 1985, titled ‘Each one of us has built society’. The third extract (19:10) is from Krishnamurti’s second question and answer meeting in Saanen 1982, titled ‘Is it possible to not contribute to the cruelty of society?’ The fourth extract (30:24) is from the fourth talk in Saanen 1972, titled ‘Society creates an image in us’. The final extract (48:36) this week is from Krishnamurti’s first talk in Bombay 1965, titled ‘We need a new society’. Each weekly episode in this season of the Krishnamurti podcast is based on a major theme of the philosopher’s talks, such as freedom, self-knowledge, beauty, intelligence and authority. Extracts from our archives have been carefully selected to represent Krishnamurti’s different approaches to each of these universal and timelessly relevant themes.
