About Jiddu Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti ( JID-oo KRISH-nə-MOOR-tee; 11 May 1895 – 17 February 1986) was an Indian spiritual speaker and writer. Adopted by members of the Theosophical Society as a child because of his aura as perceived by Theosophic leader Charles Leadbetter, "without a particle of selfishness in it," he was raised to fill the advanced role of World Teacher to aid humankind's spiritual evolition, but in his early 30s rejected the worldview of the Theosophical Society and disbanded the Order of the Star in the East, which had been formed around him. He never explicitly denounced the role of World Teacher, seeing himself as free and unconditioned, and spent the rest of his life speaking to groups and individuals around the world, aiming for others to recognise his advanced state of being and set mankind free. He gained a wider recognition in the 1950s, after Aldous Huxley had introduced him to his mainstream publisher and the publication of The First and Last Freedom (1954). Many of his talks have been published since, and he also wrote a few books himself, among them Commentaries on Living (1956–60) and Krishnamurti's Notebook (written 1961-62).
