TALKS WITH STUDENTS contains authentic reports of J. Krishnamurti's talks and dialogues with students, held in Varanasi in January 1954. Fifteen of these talks took place at the Rajghat Besant School, which he had founded at the confluence of the Ganga and Varuna, and three at the Banaras Hindu University. During his annual visits to India, from the 1930s till the 1980s, Krishnamurti made it a point to spend a few weeks at the residential school and address the students, teachers, parents and the public. He gave talks, answered questions, engaged his listeners in free-wheeling dialogues and met people individually or in small groups. In all these, he shared with them his central vision that education should not be separated from life and that it must help the young and the old to understand not merely the outer world, but also the inner world of human consciousness.
