great Indian - Krishnamurti , spiritual speaker J Krishnamurti

J Krishnamurti : One of the most acknowledged spiritual speaker/scholar India has seen

(Born: 11 May 1895 in Madanapalle, Death: 17 February 1986, California)

Krishnamurti is regarded globally as one of the greatest thinkers and  religious teachers of all time.  He did not expound any philosophy or  religion, but rather talked of the things that concern all of us in our  everyday lives, of the problems of living in modern society with its  violence and corruption, of the individual's search for security and  happiness, and the need for mankind to free itself from inner burdens of  fear, anger, hurt, and sorrow.  He explained with great precision the  subtle workings of the human mind, and pointed to the need for bringing  to our daily life a deeply meditative and spiritual quality. 

Krishnamurti belonged to no religious organization, sect or country, nor  did he subscribe to any school of political or ideological thought.  On  the contrary, he maintained that these are the very factors that divide  human beings and bring about conflict and war.  He reminded his  listeners again and again that we are all human beings first and not  Hindus, Muslims or Christians, that we are like the rest of humanity and  are not different from one another.  He asked that we tread lightly on  this earth without destroying ourselves or the environment.  He  communicated to his listeners a deep sense of respect for nature.  His  teachings transcend man-made belief systems, nationalistic sentiment and  sectarianism.  At the same time, they give new meaning and direction to  mankind's search for truth.  His teaching, besides being relevant to  the modern age, is timeless and universal. 
Krishnamurti spoke not as a guru but as a friend, and his talks and  discussions are based not on tradition-based knowledge but on his own  insights into the human mind and his vision of the sacred, so he always  communicates a sense of freshness and directness although the essence of  his message remained unchanged over the years.  When he addressed large  audiences, people felt that Krishnamurti was talking to each of them  personally, addressing his or her particular problem.  In his private  interviews, he was a compassionate teacher, listening attentively to the  man or woman who came to him in sorrow, and encouraging them to heal  themselves through their own understanding.  Religious scholars found  that his words threw new light on traditional concepts.  Krishnamurti  took on the challenge of modern scientists and psychologists and went  with them step by step, discussed their theories and sometimes enabled  them to discern the limitations of those theories.  Krishnamurti left a large body of literature in the form of public  talks, writings, discussions with teachers and students, with scientists  and religious figures, conversations with individuals, television and  radio interviews, and letters.  Many of these have been published as  books, and audio and video recordings.
