Edition Notes

"Part I, which presents Kriyananda's essential concepts about communities, was first published in 1968, under the title Cooperative Communities: How to Start Them and Why. In 1971 the author republished the book with the addition of Part II about the development of Ananda, and how those developments might offer insights to those wishing to found communities of their own. He updated the book further in 1979. In 1988 he revised Part I of that book and published it (without Part II) under the title Intentional Communities. Now, for this 2013 edition, he naturally used that 1988 rewrite in place of the 1979 version. And in addition he edited the entire book once more, but with an eye to keeping each Part's voice back in the time when it was originally written. He also added a new (second) Afterword, written from his current standpoint in April of 2013. It proved to be the last of his published writings, completed not three weeks before his passing."
