Krishnamurti (1895-1986) is regarded globally as one ofthegreatest thinkers and religious teachers of all time. He didnotexpound any philosophy or religion, but rather talked of thethingsthat concern all of us in our everyday lives, of the problemsofliving in modern society with its violence and corruption, oftheindividual's search for security and happiness, and the needformankind to free itself from inner burdens of fear, anger, hurt,andsorrow. He explained with great precision the subtle workingsofthe human mind, and pointed to the need for bringing to ourdailylife a deeply meditative and spiritual quality.Krishnamurtibelonged to no religious organization, sect or country,nor did hesubscribe to any school of political or ideologicalthought. On thecontrary, he maintained that these are the veryfactors that dividehuman beings and bring about conflict and war.He reminded hislisteners again and again that we are all humanbeings first andnot Hindus, Muslims or Christians, that we are likethe rest ofhumanity and are not different from one another. Heasked that wetread lightly on this earth without destroyingourselves or theenvironment. He communicated to his listeners adeep sense ofrespect for nature. His teachings transcend man-madebeliefsystems, nationalistic sentiment and sectarianism. At thesametime, they give new meaning and direction to mankind's searchfortruth. His teaching, besides being relevant to the modern age,istimeless and universal.For more information about J.
