Krishnamurti's Notebook.

About Krishnamurti's Notebook

Krishnamurti's Notebook is a diary of 20th-century Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti (⁠1895–1986⁠). Written during 1961–62, it is best known for its first hand accounts of persistent, unusual physical experiences and states of consciousness, but also for poetic and penetrating descriptions of nature. It has been called "a remarkable mystical document" in press reports, while an authorized Krishnamurti biographer described it as containing "the whole essence" of his philosophy. Reputedly it was not intended for publication; the manuscript also became entangled in copyright and custody disputes. The work – one of few books Krishnamurti wrote himself – was eventually published in 1976 over objections of Krishnamurti associates. An expanded edition with additional material was published in 2003; it includes previously unpublished diary entries from 1962.
