Book Review: Jiddu Krishnamurti on Education
SAROJINI PREMCHAND
VIDYA — A Compilation of Teachings of Sri Jiddu Krishnamurti on Education: G. Aruna Mohan; pub. by Alakananda Prachuranalu, opp. Maris Stella College, Vijayawada-520008. Rs. 50.
JIDDU KRISHNAMURTI, the renowned thinker said, "The highest function of education is to bring about an integrated individual who is capable of dealing with life as a whole." For this, in consonance with academic learning there is to be a learning of outer and inner worlds. The inner is the activities of the self — one's thoughts, emotions, feelings and actions.
He communicated this perspective in talks given extensively to students, teachers and parents. He also established schools — six in India and one each in the U.K. and in the U.S.
In this book Aruna Mohan has presented the important aspects of Krishnamurti's educational philosophy to Telugu readers. The well-planned structure of the text and arrangement of the material into neat sections under appropriate headings, makes it reader-friendly.
The first chapter discusses how man's life is related to nature, things, ideas and fellow human beings.
Parents, teacher, society, student and integrated development are the other chapters that follow. Aruna Mohan's effort to present JK's perspectives in a cohesive manner is quite creditable.
