About the author
Uppaluri Gopala Krishnamurti, who is commonly known as U.G. Krishnamurti or simply U.G., was a thought-provoking philosopher and speaker. He was born on July 9, 1918, in Masulipatnam, in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India and he passed away on March 22, 2007, in Vallecrosia, Italy. U.G. is often mistaken for another prominent Indian philosopher, Jiddu Krishnamurti, to whom he has no relation. U.G. Krishnamurti’s philosophy is often considered anti-traditional and he is noted for his radically iconoclastic views and rejection of the conventional narratives of spirituality and enlightenment. Rather than offering a structured doctrine, U.G. emphasized the necessity of a personal, direct confrontation with the pain and anxiety of existence. His book ‘Courage to Stand Alone’ is based on edited transcripts of his conversations in Amsterdam, and the title reflects his core teaching that the individual must face life and its uncertainties without reliance on societal or religious crutches. His literary style is straightforward, often colloquial, and uncompromising. Unlike many other spiritual teachers, U.G. asserted the fruitlessness of the search for happiness or deeper meaning through spiritual or intellectual methods, which he considered to merely be distractions from reality.
