U.G.Krishnamurti: A Life

'I have no message for mankind.'

--U.G.

`Why a biography of me?' asked U.G. when I first expressed my desire to write the story of his life. 'Tell me, how would you go about writing the biography of a person who says he has no story to be told? If my life story is never told, the world would be none the worse for it. For those who delight in reading biographies my story would be disappointing indeed. If they are looking for something in my life to change their lives for the better, they haven't got a chance. You can fit my life neatly into that rhyme for children "Solomon Grundy". That, in a nutshell, is yours, mine and everybody's story. There's no more to it than that.'

`What are you, U.G.,' asked the eighty-four-year-old Swiss lady, Valentine de Kerven, ten years ago over lunch. She had been with U.G. for over twenty years. Most of us at the table stared blankly at her. Her question is the same question asked by all those who have come in contact with U.G. The friend who was instrumental in introducing U.G. to me was himself

UG Krishnamurti: A Life

In the late Forties, toward the ending of U.G.'s association with the Theosophical Society, J. Krishnamurti arrived on the scene from the United States. The countdown began. Soon the stage would be set for the two Krishnamurtis to lock horns.

Pages from my diary which contain all the records of those days spent in Kodai, entitled "A Lonely Winter Spent Fire-Watching", flutter in my memory. A section reads:

As we were preparing to leave for Bangalore the next day, quite unexpectedly one Mr. Bernard Selby, a postman from Manchester, England, showed up. For a postman his mind was very agile and his knowledge left me in awe. He was a 'Krishnamurti freak'. That morning all of us went for a walk along the lakeside. Our conversation centered around J. Krishnamurti. U.G. bore down hard on him. This was the most vehement attack on J. Krishnamurti by U.G. that I had ever heard.

Later, as I listened to the recording of a tape of that conversation, I found that one of the subjects that kept cropping up in my conversations with U.G. over the years was J. Krishn

An Introduction to UG Krishnamurti

Uppaluri Gopala Krishnamurti (9 July 1918 – 22 March 2007)

“The greatest living Yogi I have ever met,” Krishnamacharya said of UG Krishnamurti. The fact that Krishnamacharya recognised U.G.’s realization of Yoga is profoundly significant. Krishnamacharya, who was deeply informed of humankind’s wisdom traditions from primordial to modern times, considered U.G. a living example of Yoga, of which there are very few. U.G. brought clarity to the heart of yoga.

Raised by a philosophical grandfather who was deeply involved in the Theosophical society, as a young man U.G. became a spiritual seeker for many years. He studied with Sivananda for seven years (until he found him hypocritically eating banned pickles in the cupboard in the middle of the night). He visited sages such as the great Ramana Maharishi, but was unimpressed by religious models that posed that some people were enlightened and others weren’t, which he later called “the social model of disempowerment.”

U.G. soon was known as a brilliant speaker, and he became a follower o
