J. Krishnamurti (1895-1986) was an Indian philosopher and spiritual teacher known for his thoughts on the nature of the mind and human consciousness. He rejected traditional religious structures and emphasized the importance of personal inquiry and self-discovery. His teachings encourage individuals to question their beliefs and societal norms to achieve true freedom and understanding. Born in Madras, India, Krishnamurti was initially groomed to be a spiritual leader by the Theosophical Society. However, he later disbanded the organization and traveled worldwide, sharing his insights through lectures and writings. His work continues to influence various fields, including psychology, education, and spirituality.
