Padmanabhan Krishna Knihy

Exploring the interplay between Science and Spirituality, this book emphasizes their roles in seeking truth—external understanding through science and inner virtue through spirituality. It addresses the misconceptions of spirituality as mere religion, advocating for clarity in discerning reality from illusion. By fostering self-knowledge, the book argues that education should nurture both knowledge and wisdom to cultivate a balanced, humane intellect. It warns against the dangers of knowledge devoid of wisdom, promoting a holistic approach to learning that integrates both realms for personal and societal growth.

The book presents a series of lectures highlighting the profound connection between individual consciousness and societal issues. It argues that societal problems cannot be resolved solely through structural changes but require a transformation in human consciousness.

Krishnamurti's insights on achieving this transformation are explored, along with the challenges faced by his schools in implementing his vision for a new way of learning.
