Jiddu Krishnamurti’s Philosophy of Education

Education

Education is the backbone of a civil society. It gives a direction for holistic living. Education is not merely the acquisition of knowledge, technical, or otherwise, but understanding with sensitivity and intelligence, of the whole problem of living - in which is included death, love, sex, meditation, relationship, conflict, anger brutality and all the rest of it- that is the whole structure of human existence.1 In the writings and speeches of Jiddu. Krishnamurti, we find a great deal of reflections for enhancing and modifying the standards of education to build up a healthy society. For JK, the right kind of education is concerned with human freedom, which alone can bring about true co-operation with the whole. He is emphatic about the fact that freedom is not achieved through the pursuit of one's own aggrandizement and success. Freedom comes with self-knowledge, when the mind goes above and beyond the hindrances it has created for itself through craving its own security. The present study focus on the various philosophical stand point of Jiddu. Krishnamurti
