Title: Lives in the Shadow With J. Krishnamurti
Description: ... the author traces the rise of Krishnamurti from obscurity in India by selection of the Theosophical Society to be the vehicle of a new incarnation of their world teacher. Breaking from Theosophy, Krishnamurti inspired his own following, retaining the dedication of his longtime friend Rajagopal, himself highly educated, to oversee all practicalities and the editing and publication of his writings. How this bond of trust was breached and became clouded in confusion with a new wave of devoteeism lies at the heart of this ... story. So does a portrait of intense romantic intimacy and the conundrum of Krishnamurti's own complex character.-Pg. following t.p. verso.
