A Vision of the Sacred

the long version

"For more than 30 years, Sunanda Patwardhan was a secretary, student, and confidant to the renowned spiritual teacher J. Krishnamurti. In her travels, discussions, and experiences with the respected leader, Mrs. Patwardhan had many occasions to reflect on her own life and thinking. The nature of work, motherhood, devotion, self-sacrifice, and intellectual challenge are themes that are woven throughout this memoir. Patwardhan's memories of her years "at the feet of the master" shine a light of understanding on Krishnamurti as a scholar and teacher. Krishnamurti's letters and recorded conversations add insight into his personality, habits, and relationships."--BOOK JACKET.
