Jiddu Krishnamurti

Born in southern India in 1895, Krishnamurti was 'discovered' as a young boy on a beach by members of the Theosophical Society, who were convinced that they had found a New World Leader and spiritual saviour. Throughout his lifetime Krishnamurti insisted that he wanted no followers and refused to create any kind of organisation for those who wished to follow his teachings. He died in California in 1986, leaving a legacy of over 70 books and hundreds of audio and video recordings.
