| Theosophist, born in Chennai (formerly Madras), SE India. He was educated in England by Annie Besant, who in 1925 proclaimed him the Messiah. Later he rejected this persona, dissolved The World Order of the Star in the East (founded by Dr Besant), and travelled the world teaching and advocating a way of life and thought unconditioned by the narrowness of nationality, race, and religion. He set up the Krishnamurti Foundation, and wrote several books on philosophy and religion. |
