Ug Krishnamurti

Vocation

Indian non-academic philosopher, who questioned enlightenment. Although many considered him an "enlightened" person, Krishnamurti often referred to his state of being as the "natural state". He claimed that the demand for enlightenment was the only thing standing in the way of enlightenment itself, if enlightenment existed at all. He rejected the very basis of thought and in doing so negated all systems of thought and knowledge. Hence he explained his assertions were experiential and not speculative. He was unrelated to his contemporary Jiddu Krishnamurti, although the two men had a number of meetings. Krishnamurti was known for his unusual health and diet preferences. Often complimented for good looks in his old age, Krishnamurti would respond "that's because I don't eat healthy food, I don't take vitamins, and I don't exercise!". On 22 March 2007, Krishnamurti died at Vallecrosia in Italy. He had slipped and injured himself and was bedridden for seven weeks before his death. Link to Wikipedia biography
