O autorze
Uppaluri Gopala Krishnamurti, known as U. G. Krishnamurti, was a prominent thinker who questioned the very foundation of human thought and spiritual quests. Born on July 9, 1918, in India, he was often mistaken for his namesake, Jiddu Krishnamurti, with whom he shared similar backgrounds but starkly different philosophies. U. G. Krishnamurti’s work, prominently featured in his book 'Mind is a Myth’, challenges the conventional understanding of mind and consciousness. His direct and often uncompromising approach forces readers to examine the programmed nature of their belief systems and the illusions they harbor about the mind’s abilities. Unlike other spiritual teachers, he did not propose a method for personal transformation or enlightenment. Instead, he suggested that the very search for truth is a hindrance to seeing it. His literary style is characterized by a frank, no-nonsense dialogue aimed at deconstructing the perceived realities built by social and psychological constructs. His teachings eschew traditional spiritual discourse and emphasize the impossibility of any absolute truths. Krishnamurti’s work remains a significant critique within the philosophy of mind and spiritual consciousness, offering a radical perspective that continues to provoke thoughtful inquiry into the nature of self and reality. He passed away on March 22, 2007, leaving behind a legacy that continues to intrigue and challenge the conventional seekers of wisdom.
