Making A World Teacher

J Krishnamurti – Making A World Teacher by Nandini Patnaik
A scrawny, sickly child who mostly suffered through his childhood; an apparently vague, low – witted and academically incorrigible boy who suffered severe punishments in the hands of his school teachers; yet extremely loving, caring and keenly observant-the eighth child of a Telegu brahmin family: He was J. Krishnamurti (1895-1986). He lost his loving mother as a child of ten, was uprooted from family as a young boy and lost his very dear younger brother later in his young adult life, yet his mind retained no memories of the yester years. He was born into the orthodoxy of Hindu traditions, picked up and groomed along the esoteric doctrines of the Theosophical Society, but nothing left residues of conformity to such traditional knowledge that intended to shape his thinking, Devoid of formal education and distanced from scriptural knowledge, he offered a fresh look into what we call religion and what we understand as virtue. His philosophies revolutionized the whole concept of living and dying. The Theosophical Society portrayed him as the pivot of worldwide spiritual leadership, but he stepped it aside. Breaking away from all organised faith, he declared Truth is a pathless land and the most essential quality to tread this land is freedom: not from anything, but total, unconditional freedom. Then, that benediction is where you are!
