Drawing on decades of close association, Pupul Jayakar presents Krishnamurti’s journey from his early life in India—when he was proclaimed the “World Teacher” by the Theosophical Society—to his eventual rejection of organized religion and insistence on personal freedom, truth, and self-inquiry. The book reveals Krishnamurti’s inner struggles, philosophy, and relationships, including his dialogues with scientists, thinkers, and students worldwide. Unlike a conventional biography, it explores the evolution of his consciousness, his teachings on the mind and meditation, and his radical call for humanity to awaken from conditioning. It blends history, philosophy, and personal reflection into a rare narrative of his life and work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"106\" data-end=\"146\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"147\" data-end=\"655\"\u003ePupul Jayakar (1915–1997) was an Indian cultural activist, writer, and close associate of J.
