She wrote in the Foreword to this 1983 book, "This second volume of Krishnamurtis biography, which brings the story of his life up to 1980, like the first, has, like the first, been written at his suggestion and with his full co-operation"She says, "Krishnamurti has often been asked about physical healing. He undoubtedly possesses a power of healing but has always played it down"What K was talking about was awareness from moment to moment of all that was taking place inside oneself without any effort to direct or change it---a matter of pure observation, perception, which would result in change without effort."

Los años de plenitud, el segundo volumen de la biografía iniciada con Los años del despertar, repasa la vida y la filosofía de Krinshnamurti hasta 1980. La autora conoció a este mundo maestro extraordinario, inequivocamente independiente en todos los dogmas del pensamiento, la filosofia y la espiritualidad, poco despues de que los teoisofos lo identifican como el nuevo Mesias.

"La enseñanza de Krishnamurti ha llegado en un momento crítico den la historia de la humanidad", afirma Mary Lutyens. El popular maestro espiritual, que murió en 1986, pensaba que la paz global era posible si los niños eran educados sin prejuicios, sin nacionalismos, sin competitividad -e incluso sin sistemas religiosos organizados-. Con la esperanza de despertar a la humanidad, Krishnamurti preconizaba la completa autotransformacion como condicion previa para cualquier cambio social o politico. En este inteligente y ameno estudio biografico, Lutyens aporta un tertimonio detallado de las experiencias misticas del maestro, su ruptura con la teosofia y sus asociaciones con David Bohm o Jacob Needleman.

En La puerta abierta, el tercer volumen de la biografía iniciada con Los años del despertar y Los años de plenitud, Mary Lutyens ofrece una vista panorámica y muy amena de la enseñanza de Krishnamurti a traves de penetrantes evocaciones de sus experiencias espirituales. Gran parte del libro esta formada por numerosas y hermosas citas, sacadas de sus conferencias.

En 1909, un líder de la Sociedad Teosófica designó a un muchacho de catorce años como Salvador de nuestra era. Los teósofos mandaron al muchacho a Gran Bretaña para que estudiara en la mejor escuela britanica. Alli se educo ese carismatico joben indio, destinado a asumir el papel mesianico de World Teacher; un papel que el mismo rechazaria completamente, provocando un gran revuelo en la comunidad espiritual.Atravesando un periodo de grandes dudas y de agonia fisica y espiritual, Krishnamurti seguiria su propio camino hacia la iluminacion, hasta convertirse en un brillante referente de sabiduria y veracidad para millones de personas en todo el mundo.
