J. Krishnamurti

India : A World Teacher

Birth : 1895       Death : 1986

Jiddu Krishnamurti was one of the profoundest thinkers of the modem age. He gave a new meaning to spiritualism and salvation and brought them to the level of the common people. He had no faith in traditions, prayers and the institution of ‘Guru’ or the ‘Master’ and his thinking rose much above the identities of motherland, nation, language and heredity. In the beginning, he was associated with the Theosophical Society but broke off completely from it in 1929. Thereafter, he toured through Europe, America, Australia and other countries preaching the philosophy of truth. To Krishnamurti the whole life was a sort of meditation and the aim of every human being was to seek the ultimate truth. He used to say ‘We have to give birth to a new man’. Man needs a new type of education which can enable him to seek truth without any pre-conceived opinion. A mind that is full of traditional thinking, beliefs, sayings and examples is devoid of any creativity and it is only an imitator mind. A mind which is as clear of presumptions as an empty cup can only perceive the truth.
