Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895–1986) was an Indian philosopher and speaker who was groomed by the Theosophical Society to be the 'World Teacher' or new messiah, but rejected that role in 1929, going on to develop an independent philosophical teaching emphasizing direct observation and the dissolution of psychological conditioning.
One of the most original philosophical voices of the 20th century; his rejection of authority, tradition, and psychological conditioning attracted a global following.
