| | Jiddu Krishnamurti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Krishnamurti, of course, was named after Krishna - the eighth reincarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu. | | | Krishnamurti did not accept followers, because he saw the relationship between a guru and a disciple as essentially exploitative. | | | The death of his brother Nitya in 1925 from tuberculosis, however, shook his fundamental belief in the masters,the leaders of the Theosophical Society and the whole idea of the world teacher (Lord Maitreya) project. |

| | Krishnamurti was soon to emerge as a powerful, uncompromising, and unclassifiable teacher, whose talks and writings were not linked to any specific religion and were neither of the East nor the West but for the whole world. | | | Firmly repudiating the messianic image, in 1929 he dramatically dissolved the large and monied organization that had been built around him and declared truth to be a 'pathless land', which could not be approached by any formalized religion, philosophy, or sect. | | | For the rest of his life Krishnamurti insistently rejected the guru status that others tried to foist upon him. |

| | KFA - Krishnamurti's Biography |
| | Krishnamurti claimed allegiance to no caste, nationality or religion and was bound by no tradition. | | | Krishnamurti said, "Surely a school is a place where one learns about the totality, the wholeness of life. | | | Heads of various religious organizations held discussions with him, only to hear him repeat his central theme that authority in whatever form-religious, psychological or political-is a hindrance to seeing the truth; man has to be his own guru to bring about psychological transformation. |

| | On J Krishnamurti from Buddhist letter |
| | Had Krishnamurti sat in the place of the Buddha, andhad he made but one rule, it might have been "know thyself", and all otherrules would have been declared to be minor and therefore to be discarded. | | | Krishnamurti remained true, attimes obstinately steadfast, to the Sutra level of teaching during hiswhole life, and his teachings were consequently more difficult for thepublic to assimilate.- | | | In Krishnamurti's view enlightenment comes by its ownaccord where and when it chooses, and there is little that we can do aboutit. |

| | Krishnamurti asked me, 'What school are your daughters attending?' 'Naturally, Besant Theosophical School,' I answered, 'You know, it's almost next door to us.' 'They teach religion, Sir,' he said. | | | The 'mind' (which Krishnamurti's teaching assumes), the exclusive franchise of psychologists and religious teachers and all the assumptions connected with it will also be undermined. | | | It seems that he had to write to them saying that he was not coming to those countries--that it was another Krishnamurti that they had invited. |

Krishnamurti wrote and lectured for seven decades on the essential problems of the human condition. | | | You are accustomed to being told how far you have advanced, what your spiritual state is-how childish. |
