Waking the Mind - Waters Geetha

Geetha Waters’ engaging selection of short stories, Waking the Mind, is a reflection on Jiddu Krishnamurti’s impact on her education based on her experiences at a school he founded in South India. She credits her passion for inquiry as being sparked the first time she heard Krishnamurti speak when she was six. That talk at the Rishi Valley School had the effect of setting her on an intriguing course of inquiry into the mysterious nature of the mind, the vitality of the natural world, and a creative understanding of life.
