One thousand suns

One Thousand Suns depicts the private person behind the world-renowned philosophical figure Jiddu Krishnamurti. The phenomenon of this brilliant teacher is here revealed intimately and respectfully, through the eyes of Asit Chandmal, who for most of his life knew Krishnamurti as a close friend. Krishnamurti is seen in everyday activities - with friends, in his home and garden, walking, and contemplating.

Chandmal also describes and depicts the reactions of crowds listening to Krishnamurti speak, the calm he elicited, and the reverence he evoked.
