About Jiddu Krishnamurti
Indian spiritual teacher, speaker, and writer
Jiddu Krishnamurti was an Indian spiritual teacher, speaker, and writer. Adopted as a child by members of the Theosophical Society, he was brought up to be the expected World Teacher, a figure meant to guide humanity’s spiritual growth. In 1922, he began experiencing painful mystical episodes that changed how he saw reality. In 1929, he broke with Theosophy and dissolved the Order of the Star in the East, the movement formed around him. After that, he spent the rest of his life speaking to audiences and individuals around the world, urging a deep transformation in human life.
