Giới thiệu về tác giả
Uppaluri Gopala Krishnamurti, commonly known as U.G. Krishnamurti, was a thinker and philosopher who explored the existential questions of life, questioning the very foundation of thought and the nature of enlightenment. Seemingly paradoxical, he has often been described not as a traditional guru but as an ‘anti-guru’, skeptical of the very systems of thought that underpin spiritual searching. Born on July 9, 1918, in Andhra Pradesh, India, and deceased on March 22, 2007, U.G. rejected the framework of conventional enlightenment and emphasized a state beyond the constructs of mind and society which he referred to as ‘the natural state’. His teachings were not delivered through a structured philosophy but through conversations and interactions with those around him. U.G. authored several books, including ‘The Natural State’, which presents his radical viewpoint that seeks to deflate the constructs of traditional spirituality and religious thought. His literary style is direct, often uncompromising, and devoid of the usual comforts of philosophical narrative. Rather than offering solutions, U.G. Krishnamurti’s writings pose questions that undercut established notions of consciousness and the self, thrusting readers into a space of existential contemplation.
