Publications
Krishnamurti's legacy is a vast corpus of his works consisting of talks, dialogues and writings spread over a span of sixty years.
In his long speaking career spanning six decades, Krishnamurti visited distant corners of the world giving thought-provoking talks to the public, holding discussions with great scientists and intellectuals of the West, and scholars and religious heads of the East. These were recorded initially as verbatim reports, and in later years on audio and video tapes. Books have been the means by which most people have come to know of Krishnamurti's teachings.
The Publications Section (KFI) brings out books including public talks, question-and-answer sessions, writings, letters and notebooks, anthologies and biographies. A Bulletin in English, published thrice a year, is mailed to subscribers and institutions. It offers unpublished materials of Krishnamurti and keeps subscribers informed of the activities of the Foundation.
The Foundation's Translation Cells invite scholars to translate the English books into Indian languages. Today, translations exist in Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Odia, Malayalam, Kannada,Tamil, Telugu, Urdu and Punjabi. The Study Centre at Varanasi brings out Parisamvad, a quarterly bulletin in Hindi. Newsletters are published in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Odia, Kannada, Marathi and Gujarati.
