“When one travels around the world, one notices to what an extraordinary degree human nature is the same, whether in India or America, in Europe or Australia.”

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.
