Third Krishnamurti Study Day on Inner Transformation
Jiddu Krishnamurti was born on 11 May 1895 in Madanapalle, a small town in South India. He and his brother were adopted in their youth by Dr. Annie Besant, then president of the Theosophical Society. Dr. Besant and others proclaimed that Krishnamurti was to be a world teacher. To prepare the world for this coming, a world-wide organization called the Order of the Star in the East was formed and the young Krishnamurti was made its head. In 1929, however, Krishnamurti renounced this role. From then, for nearly sixty years, until his death on 17 February 1986, he travelled throughout the world, talking to large audiences and to individuals about the need for a radical change in mankind.
Krishnamurti is regarded as one of the greatest thinkers and teachers of all time. He did not expound a specific philosophy, 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 a meditative and spiritual quality to our daily life (see www.jkrishnamurti.org).
