ଜେ. କ୍ରିଷ୍ଣମୂର୍ତ୍ତି 

ଜେ. କ୍ରିଷ୍ଣମୂର୍ତ୍ତି (୧୮୯୫ - ୧୯୮୬)ଙ୍କୁ ଏ ଦୁନିଆର ଜଣେ
ସର୍ବଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠ ଦାର୍ଶନିକ ତଥା ଧର୍ମଗୁରୁ କହିଲେ ଅତ୍ୟୁକ୍ତି ହେବ
ନାହିଁ। ତାଙ୍କ ଜୀବନ କାଳରେ, ଦୀର୍ଘ ଷାଠିଏ ବର୍ଷରୁ ଉର୍ଦ୍ଧ୍ବ, ସେ
ପୃଥ‌ିବୀର ବିଭିନ୍ନ ସ୍ଥାନରେ ଭାଷଣ ଦେବାଠାରୁ ଆରମ୍ଭ କରି
ବିଭିନ୍ନ ବ୍ୟକ୍ତିଙ୍କ ସହିତ କଥୋପକଥନ ସଭାରେ ଯୋଗ
ଦେଇଥିଲେ। କୌଣସି ଗୁରୁ ହିସାବରେ ନୁହେଁ, ବରଂ ଜଣେ
ଭଲ ବନ୍ଧୁ ବା ମିତ୍ର ଭାବରେ ସେ ଏହା ସମ୍ପାଦନା କରିଥିଲେ। କ୍ରିଷ୍ଣମୂର୍ତ୍ତିଙ୍କର ଶିକ୍ଷା କୌଣସି ଗ୍ରନ୍ଥ, ପୁସ୍ତକାଦିର ଜ୍ଞାନ ବା ବିବରଣୀ ଉପରେ ଆଧାରିତ ହୋଇ ନ ଥିବାରୁ ତାହା  ବିଶ୍ବବ୍ୟାପି ସଙ୍କଟାଦି ନେଇ ଯେ କୌଣସି ବ୍ୟକ୍ତିର ପ୍ରଶ୍ନକୁ ସିଧା ସଳଖେ ସମ୍ମୁଖୀନ ହୋଇଥାଏ। ଫଳତଃ, ମନୁଷ୍ୟ ଅସ୍ତିତ୍ଵର ତମାମ ସମସ୍ୟାଜନିତ ପ୍ରଶ୍ନାଦି ତାଙ୍କର ଶିକ୍ଷା ସମୂଳେ ସମ୍ବୋଧନ କରିଥାଏ। 

During the 1930s and 1940s, Krishnamurti was intermittently keeping notes of his talks, his musings on nature and reflections on life, and discussions with individuals and groups. Apparently it was Aldous Huxley who encouraged him to write in a sustained manner these commentaries on life, which consist of a series of dialogues with ordinary human beings whom he met in different parts of the world.

The three volumes of Commentaries on Living represent an entirely new genre of writing—a blend of lyrical descriptions of nature, philosophical reflections, and psychological insights, all informed by a deep religious sensibility and couched in lucid, absorbing prose.

Krishnamurti is regarded globally as one of the greatest thinkers and religious teachers of all time. He did not expound any philosophy or religion, but rather talked of the things that concern all of us in our everyday lives, of the problems of living in modern society with its violence and corruption, of the individual's search for security and happiness, and the need for mankind to free itself from inner burdens of fear, anger, hurt, and sorrow. He explained with great precision the subtle workings of the human mind, and pointed to the need for bringing to our daily life a deeply meditative and spiritual quality.

Krishnamurti belonged to no religious organization, sect or country, nor did he subscribe to any school of political or ideological thought. On the contrary, he maintained that these are the very factors that divide human beings and bring about conflict and war. He reminded his listeners again and again that we are all human beings first and not Hindus, Muslims or Christians, that we are like the rest of humanity and are not different from one another. He asked that we tread lightly on this earth without destroying ourselves or the environment. He communicated to his listeners a deep sense of respect for nature. His teachings transcend man-made belief systems, nationalistic sentiment and sectarianism. At the same time, they give new meaning and direction to mankind's search for truth. His teaching, besides being relevant to the modern age, is timeless and universal.

Krishnamurti spoke not as a guru but as a friend, and his talks and discussions are based not on tradition-based knowledge but on his own insights into the human mind and his vision of the sacred, so he always communicates a sense of freshness and directness although the essence of his message remained unchanged over the years. When he addressed large audiences, people felt that Krishnamurti was talking to each of them personally, addressing his or her particular problem. In his private interviews, he was a compassionate teacher, listening attentively to the man or woman who came to him in sorrow, and encouraging them to heal themselves through their own understanding. Religious scholars found that his words threw new light on traditional concepts. Krishnamurti took on the challenge of modern scientists and psychologists and went with them step by step, discussed their theories and sometimes enabled them to discern the limitations of those theories. Krishnamurti left a large body of literature in the form of public talks, writings, discussions with teachers and students, with scientists and religious figures, conversations with individuals, television and radio interviews, and letters. Many of these have been published as books, and audio and video recordings.

More information about Krishnamurti’s life can be found in the biographies written by Mary Lutyens and Pupul Jayakar.
