关于作者
U. G. Krishnamurti, not to be confused with his more famous namesake Jiddu Krishnamurti, was a prominent thinker who questioned the very foundation of what he termed ‘the spiritual market.’ Born on July 9, 1918, in Andhra Pradesh, India, Uppaluri Gopala Krishnamurti rejected conventional religious and philosophical frameworks, advocating instead a state of ‘naturalness’ and fiercely arguing against the idea of enlightenment as marketed by spiritual leaders. His autobiography, ‘The Mystique of Enlightenment, ‘ offers a stark view into his philosophy, where he dismantles the widely accepted constructs of belief and challenges seekers to question their own quest for truth. Krishnamurti remained a figure of philosophical intrigue until his death on March 22, 2007. His works continue to draw interest for their unapologetic denial of accepted truths and their iconoclastic approach to spirituality. His deliberate use of contradiction and paradox in speech intentionally defied traditional literary styles, emphasizing his belief that language itself is inadequate to express reality as he understood it. The compilation ‘The Iconic Works of U. G. Krishnamurti’ provides a gateway into the mind of a man who stood firmly as an anti-guru in a world rife with spiritual teachers.
