The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust. Across this wide selection of events, from public talks to in-depth conversations, Krishnamurti explores fundamental questions of human existence: the nature of thought, fear and desire; the roots of conflict and conditioning; and whether the mind can be free – questions that touch our daily lives and relationships. Each episode of the podcast features a full-length Krishnamurti recording from the Foundation’s archives, with a new series released every week. Krishnamurti is widely regarded as one of the greatest philosophers and teachers of all time. For seven decades, he spoke to large audiences around the world, as well as with notable individuals and small groups. Krishnamurti stressed that ‘There is hope in humanity, not in society, not in systems, not in organised religious systems, but in you and in me.’ This podcast sits alongside 'Urgency of Change: The Krishnamurti Podcast', which features carefully curated extracts on over 200 topics. The Krishnamurti Collection, by contrast, makes complete recordings available in a convenient format, preserving the unedited, natural unfolding of each talk. Established by Krishnamurti in 1968, Krishnamurti Foundation Trust is a non-profit charity based at Brockwood Park in the UK, which is also home to The Krishnamurti Centre and Brockwood Park School.

What listeners will find here
Krishnamurti asks whether free will is real—or just thought in motion
This episode centers on free will, choice, and whether action can exist without effort or inner conflict. Krishnamurti probes how thought, sensation, language, and conditioning shape what we call choice, then points toward the possibility of seeing human beings as a whole.
Krishnamurti asks whether truth lies beyond thought, time and the self
This episode centers on Krishnamurti’s question, “What is truth?” He explores the difference between reality and truth, whether psychological time is an illusion, and why truth cannot be reached through thought, words or self-centered seeking.
Krishnamurti tackles death, suffering, and the ‘stream’ of human consciousness
This episode centers on the question of life after death and Krishnamurti’s view that desire, anxiety, tragedy, and misery continue in the common stream of mankind. It also turns to whether suffering can end through free inquiry, and how mindfulness, awareness, and attention differ.
Krishnamurti asks whether knowledge helps us see truth—or gets in the way
Krishnamurti’s 1978 discussion with Buddhist scholars centers on a stark question: does knowledge condition human beings? The episode probes whether accumulated information, tradition, and even sacred teachings can prevent direct perception of truth.
Krishnamurti asks whether daily life is possible without the self
This episode centers on death, continuity, and whether the mind can exist without the self. In a 1978 Brockwood Park discussion with Buddhist scholars, Krishnamurti examines identification, thought, and the possibility of living daily life free of the ‘me’.
