Krishnamurti was an enigma. He was 'discovered' on an Indian beach at the age of 14 and, fulfilling Theosophy's messianic expectations, he was brought up to be a World Teacher. When he died in 1986 at the age of 90, Krishnamurti had spent over 60 years expounding a revolutionary and totally original philosophy through his books and talks. Major wirters, statesmen and scietists were among his admirers, and many set him on a par with the great religious teachers of history.
