J. Krishnamurti (1895-1986) is now regarded the world over as one of the greatest religious teachers of all times. For nearly sixty years, he traveled across the globe pointing out to people the need to transform themselves radically through self-knowledge. Though he addressed contemporary problems, his answers were rooted in his timeless vision of life and truth. As such, his teachings transcend all man-made boundaries of religion, nationality, ideology and sectarian thinking. Refusing to play the role of teacher himself, he urged his listeners to enquire on their own and be a light unto themselves.

Krishnamurti's teachings did not stem from any tradition. Krishnamurti was concerned with all humanity and stated repeatedly that he held no nationality or belief and belonged to no particular group or culture. In the latter part of his life, he traveled mainly between the schools he had founded in India, Britain and the United States, schools that educate for the total understanding of humanity and the art of living. He stressed that only this profound understanding can create new societies capable of living in peaceful cooperation with each other and with their environment.


Krishnamurti's public talks, writings and discussions are available in a vast collection of books, audio and videotapes, CDs and DVD's.
