Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986) was born in South India, educated privately
in England and traveled the world for 65 years speaking in Europe, India,
Australia, and North and South America. In his youth, he was lionized by the
Theosophical Society as, literally, a new Messiah. In 1929, Krishnamurti
renounced the role thrust upon him and embarked on a life-long mission to set
man "absolutely, unconditionally free" from all conditionings including that
imposed by organized religion and dependence upon spiritual leaders. He
expounded no doctrine but was constantly examining the workings of the
human mind in writings, public talks and discussions which have been compiled
into 40 books and translated into 47 languages. The enduring questions
Krishnamurti asks about the quality of life, the source of all human problems
and the nature of the mind have made him into one of the most provocative
speakers and authors of the 20th century.
