in details biography of Krishnamurti, by Pupul Jayakar.

Jiddu Krishnamurti was born on May 12, 1895 in a small town of Madanapalle, about 250 km north of Madras, India. J. Krishnamurti was raised within the Theosophical Society to be a vehicle for a prophesied World Teacher (Second Coming, Maitreya Buddha). But his life took a different turn.

In 1929 Jiddu Krishnamurti made a dramatic break with the organization which had sponsored him and began to emerge as one of the 20th century's most iconoclastic and influential teachers. Krishnamurti repudiated not only all connections with organized religions and ideology, but denied his own spiritual authority as well. Travelling constantly, Krishnamurti also rejected ties to any country, nationality or culture. Although Jiddu Krishnamurti wrote and lectured widely, he accepted no fees for his talks, nor royalties on his books and recordings. Jiddu Krishnamurti died on February 17, 1986.

The teachings of Jiddu Krishnamurti can be found in books, films, university courses, workshops and progressive schools that he started. As of 1990, his works have been translated into forty-seven languages, including Swahili; through them his influence is felt worldwide. His ideas, which revolved around the centrality of individual consciousness free from the programmed filters of religion and culture, attracted people as varied as George Bernard Shaw, Greta Garbo, Bertrand Russell, Aldous Huxley, Joseph Campbell, Albert Einstein, Alan Watts, Jackson Pollock, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Christopher Isherwood and Charlie Chaplin.

Jiddu Krishnamurti's aim was to set humanity free. Krishnamurti maintained that the individual is freed by becoming aware of their own psychological conditioning, and that this awakening will enable their to give love to another. "If you want to spread these teachings", Krishnamurti went on to say, "live them, and by your life you will be spreading them".
