Knowledge and Understanding CD

Aldous Huxley is one of the West’s most important literary figures.

In the course of Aldous Huxley’s long association with the Vedanta Society of Southern California, he was an important contributor to the Society’s literary heritage. His Vedanta-related body of work includes articles, essays, and introductions. He was the editorial adviser of Vedanta and the West for eleven years. Huxley lectured at both the Hollywood and Santa Barbara temples.

Knowledge and Understanding, and the informal question/answer session that followed, was recorded on a wire recorder and has been digitally transferred by the Vedanta Archives and mastered by mondayMEDIA. The audio quality of the Question/Answer session is less than studio standard, but the spontaneous exchanges reveal a personable Huxley.

The CD is from a lecture given in 1955. It showcases Huxley’s wide-ranging intellect, his socially prophetic vision, and is peppered with wit. This lecture is a must for Huxley fans and scholars.

Produced in conjunction with Vedanta Archives.
