Om författaren
Uppaluri Gopala Krishnamurti, commonly known as U. G. Krishnamurti or simply U.G., was a philosopher who questioned the very basis of thought and the quest for enlightenment. Not to be conflated with his more famous contemporary Jiddu Krishnamurti, U.G. challenged the traditional concepts and approaches to spirituality, coining the term the ’natural state’ to describe a psychological condition free from the strictures of cultural and social conditioning. His teachings, though not formalized into a cohesive philosophy, wove together skepticism and a radical approach to human consciousness, reflected eloquently in his ’U. G. Krishnamurti: Collected Works’. Born on July 9, 1918, in Masulipatam, India, U.G. spent his life travelling and engaging in conversations with people seeking answers to philosophical questions. His style was direct and uncompromising, often eschewing the traditional guru-disciple format. He was known for his penetrating insights as well as for dismissing the value system attached to enlightenment and the commercialization of spiritual pursuit. Krishnamurti’s unorthodox perspective attracted followers from around the world who found in his words a resonating truth that transcended conventional religious and philosophical teachings. U.G. Krishnamurti passed away on March 22, 2007, but his enigmatic legacy continues to provoke thought and debate in the realm of contemporary spirituality and philosophy.
