I under-estimated Jiddu Krishnamurty - just started reading one of his books…He is Mindblowing.
Will read all his books now
I wish I could be a prolific reader but don’t have the attention span or interest.
oh come on, you are into Music and I have no interest in that whatsoever…each has his own interests so its ok

FFTK is the most typical entry point into JK’s brand of UK+Raj existentialism. (He was born in India, but raised in the UK.) It’s a fine book. Here are some other truly hot JK titles:

Krishnamurti, J.: Total Freedom: The Essential Krishnamurti, New York: HarperCollins, 1996.
ok I believe Osho and his teachings have more profound depth of what it means to BE.
Though JKrishnamurti does talk a lot about Conditioning and how to be free of that – He does not penetrate more into other aspects like Compassion etc.
Of course, Gautama Buddha beats all
But Gautama Buddha teachings are pretty old, his teachings though true are not contemporary. Osho and JK are contemporary.
This is my view - no offense meant
I am absolutely certain that Jiddu Krishnamurti was not enlightened, He was merely an intellectual. It DOSENT really take a lot to be an intellectual. Read a few books, have some folks funding whatever nonsense you want to dish out. And Voila, you have a deluded fool to fool other fools.
I mean I always doubted him, One look at this face and you know.
