I have a small book on Krishnamurti called Two Birds On One Tree, written by Ravi Ravindra who knew him for a period of over twenty five years.It very much describes more than twenty five year of dialogue, correspondence and meetings Ravindra had with Krishnamurti.

This little book is by an erudite and masterly Scholar, in it he has a small selected Bibliography, the last of which relates to:

‘Lives in the Shadow with J Krishnamurti’ by Sloss, Radha Rajagopal.

Below are his comments about the book:

”This volume details a twenty- five year love affair between Krishnamurti and Rosalind Rajagopal, as witnessed, understood and interpreted by Rosalind’s daughter who grew up with Krishnamurti being very much a member of their household.”

Two Birds On One Tree very much describes Ravi Ravindra’s dialogues and understandings of two distinct aspects of Krishnamurti:

“His deep spiritual essence could soar without effort like an angel in the clear skies of truth.”

And:

”Then there was the relatively superficial personality, formed by his personal history and his struggles to be free of spiritual tyranny.This part was born of conditioning and not insight. When it took over, it was like the discordant note introduced by the uninvited thirteenth fairy in the tale of Sleeping Beauty”

Ravindra has an independent and balanced mind, a rich source of teaching for myself.

I have downloaded Radha Sloss/Rajagopal book and hope to read it whilst in isolation.
Looking forward to revisiting Two Birds On One Tree also, been years since I read it.
