Jiddu Krishnamurti was one of the most well-known spiritual
teachers of the 20th Century. Though he himself refused to be
considered anyone's guru (and he had followers administering his
schools and foundations, supporting his material life, reading his
books, and attending his talks), he was nonetheless embraced as
guru by many. Krishnamurti also denied being Hindu or Indian or a
philosopher, but his teachings assumed much of the traditional
Indian religious worldview--even as they warned against following
one's cultural and psychological conditioning. J. Krishnamurti's
life work is still very close to us (he died in 1985), but it is
time we began to look critically at this larger-than-life figure.
In some ways he is the last of the gurus--for the worldview within
which guruhood makes sense is in transition to a new worldview
where that side of Indian and New Age spirituality will fade away.
And, ironically, Krishnamurti was himself instrumental in the
beginning of this worldview transformation. This is the first
serious investigation of Krishnamurti's teachings, of his identity,
and of his place in the spiritual life of the modern world.
