THE QUEST OF THE QUIET MIND
 
by Stuart Holroyd 
Book DescriptionThe Philosophy of Inner Development
 
O
NE day in the spring of 1909 Charles Leadbeater, a prominent Theosophist, came across a youngBrahmin boy, Jiddu Krishnamurti, on a beach near Madras.From that day the course of Krishnamurti's life was changed. Taken up by Leadbeater and Mrs AnnieBesant, Jiddu Krishnamurti became the
'World Teacher' 
, the
'Vehicle of the Lord' 
, and the incarnationof the all-wise Lord Maitreya, exchanging an Indian hovel for a house in California and a castle inHolland.The strange and sad career of Krishnamurti forms the prelude to this penetrating new study of his stillinfluential philosophy. With skill and understanding, Stuart Holroyd charts Krishnamurti's transitionfrom mystic to spiritual emancipator and from the gentle Messiah and incarnation of the LordMaitreya to the solitary, stern and unattached moralist of the later years.The philosophy of Krishnamurti is no less extraordinary than his life.
The Quest of the Quiet Mind 
isa compelling introduction to Krishnamurti's austere but inspiring attempt to set us all free from self-created chains and finally achieve a new wholeness at the still centre of reality.
