Jiddu Krishnamurti

Lord'sWarrior · Jul 3, 2020

I'd like for someone that was interested very much in Jiddu Krishnamurti's teachings to tell me how they came out of them or if they had any revelation from Jesus in respect to him. Please don't just say, "the Bible says" this or that. I'd like personal a experience. I'm caught between both. Please, again, don't just quote things.
Thanks

I find him interesting but his long list of sexual misdeeds with followers put me off.

[Edit: it seems that I was mistaken and J. Krishnamurti broke celibacy and committed adultery, but was not generally known for exploiting his followers sexually.]

There are two Krishnamurti's. U.G. Krishnamurti and Jiddu Krishnamurti. Jiddu Krishnamurti as far as I know didn't have inapropriate with sexual conduct with people from his audience. He only had an affair with a lady that was married to a person that was responsible with him, at least that's what I read in a book (Lives in the Shadow with J. Krishnamurti).

What do you like about him. I m interested in Eastern Philosophy.

I like the sense that he makes in his statements and the silence that is generated in my mind while listening to him.

Yes, perhaps I am mistaken. It seems that he only broke his vow of celibacy and committed adultery, but did not have multiple sexual exploits with followers. Thank you for the correction.

Two good things. Have you read Aurobindo?

I see no comparison with Jesus Christ. e.g. did Jiddu Krishnamurti rise from the dead?

I don't think he meant divinity but and interesting philosopher.

1 John 2:27, ask the Holy Spirit to teach you instead of relying on the teachings of others. Also, you should test every spirit, does his doctrines conform to the teachings you receive from God's word?

I'd rather hear what God has to say than a mere mortal philosopher.
Remember, the OP stated, "I'm caught between both" and was looking for answers.
