We are all aware J. Krishnamurti was not only a great seer but a wise educator, perhaps the most radical that this century has produced. His insights challenge educators to re-examine fundamental issues of education. With great penetration, he probed into questions that are very real for teachers, questions that relate to issues such as freedom and discipline, knowledge, intelligence, creativity, goodness and so on. A true revolutionary in spirit, he questioned all conventional patterns of thinking and action. He often dwelt on the responsibility of educators in bringing about a new culture.

The question that naturally arises for us is: what are we doing in our schools with these insights? Do we share them? Do we hold them in our minds, explore and deepen them? What are our problems? What are the difficulties we face in our attempts? Krishnamurti schools offer to the teachers who are drawn to them the space and ambience in which to enquire and investigate, discover and learn about education and life. Some of our schools are residential, some are day schools. Some are in India and some are abroad. Nevertheless the same spirit informs them all. In fact Krishnamurti often referred to them as 'One School'.

The journal of the Krishnamurti Schools stems from a need that was felt for a forum wherein teachers could express their own understanding of this common vision, raise questions and doubts, discuss the problems they face or share the joys of their discoveries in the class room and elsewhere. This is, therefore, an In-House journal. In fact Krishnaji had in the later years of his life often expressed his desire that such a journal be started which would deal with the larger vision as also the creative movements and concerns of our schools. .................................
