Krishnamurti is regarded globally as one of the greatest thinkers and religious teachers of all time.

In 1929, however, Krishnamurti renounced the role that he was expected to play, dissolved the Order with its huge following, and returned all the money and property that had been donated for this work.įrom 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 humankind. 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.

Dr Besant and others proclaimed that Krishnamurti was to be a world teacher whose coming the Theosophists had predicted.

He and his brother were adopted in their youth by Dr Annie Besant, then president of the Theosophical Society. Jiddu Krishnamurti was born on in Madanapalle, a small town in south India.
