As a young man, Jiddu Krisnamurti was discovered by the leaders of
the Theosophical Society and proclaimed the next World Leader.
While under the guidance of this society, Krishnamurti, using the
pen name of Alcyone, wrote the book At The Feet of the Master. It
is a beautiful little book, full of very simple and very deep
thoughts it contains principles of living that can be applied by
anyone. These are not my words; they are the words of the Master
who taught me. Without Him I could have done nothing, but through
His help I have set my feet upon the Path.
"Stories from Another Life" is an endeavour made by several female
lesbian authors, currently living in Sweden. Their stories describe
their life paths; sometimes tragic, sometimes contradictory, but
full of hope and love, and of the lessons learnt with time. The
stories are quite diverse when it comes to the style and the
contents. All of them are based on real events. The names of the
characters were altered.
Krishnamurti's profound early work of spiritualism displays great
wisdom attuned to matters of higher contemplation. Demonstrating a
precocious ability to instil and guide others with spiritual
wisdom, Jiddu Krishnamurti was only twelve when he first authored
this primer on gaining knowledge. The book is not an attempt at
preaching or conversion, but is instead a meditation upon the
wholesome, guiding principles that anyone who desires great
spiritual harmony should aspire to. Krishnamurti urges all aspiring
spiritualists to be honest with themselves. If they are truly
determined, and have the inner wealth to embark upon such a
journey, then they will go far. Eliminating material desires,
behaving properly with good manners and conduct, and regarding
other human beings with compassion and love are explained as
crucial tenets. Obstacles to attainment, both physical and mental,
are also explained.

Minister.
The teachings contained in this little book were given to the
author by his Master in preparing him for Initiation, and were
written down by him from memory, slowly and laboriously, for his
English was far from fluent. The greater part is a reproduction of
the Master's own words; that which is not such a verbal
reproduction is the Master's thought clothed in His pupil's words.

This was the first book by the great spiritual teacher,
Krishnamurti, written at the age of 14. It was written under the
name Alcyone, which is the brightest star in the Pleiades. This
name was bestowed upon him because it was thought he would be the
next great world teacher and had returned through the reincarnation
process. The wisdom in this book is amazing for such a young man,
and his later work attests to this natural gift. The book addresses
the question, how does one live and walk on a spiritual path? He
lays out four qualifications for this path - discrimination,
desirelessness, good conduct and love. Each of these topics is
taken in turn and the reader is guided through and onto a
meaningful spiritual path, at least in a general sense. This book
has the potential to change the reader at a very deep level, but
each must first listen, learn and act upon the principles shared.
This book points clearly to a very powerful path. Walking it, with
the wisdom it shares, is the challenge.
