His last public talk was in Madras (now known as Chennai), India, in January 1986, a month before his death at his home in Ojai, California. Many of his talks and discussions have been published. He wrote many books, among them The First and Last Freedom, The Only Revolution, and Krishnamurti's Notebook. Krishnamurti said he had no allegiance to any nationality, caste, religion, or philosophy, and spent the rest of his life travelling the world, speaking to large and small groups, as well as individuals. As a young man, he disavowed this idea and dissolved the Order of the Star in the East, an organisation that had been established to support it. He was subsequently raised under the tutelage of Annie Besant and Leadbeater, leaders of the Society at the time, who believed him to be a 'vehicle' for an expected World Teacher. In early adolescence, he met occultist and theosophist Charles Webster Leadbeater on the grounds of the Theosophical Society headquarters at Adyar in Madras.
Krishnamurti was born in South India, in what is now the modern-day Madanapalle of Andhra Pradesh. He stressed the need for a revolution in the psyche of every human being and emphasised that such revolution cannot be brought about by any external entity, be it religious, political, or social. His interests included psychological revolution, the nature of mind, meditation, holistic inquiry, human relationships, and bringing about radical change in society. In his early life, he was groomed to be the new World Teacher, an advanced spiritual position in the theosophical tradition, but later rejected this mantle and withdrew from the organization behind it. Jiddu Krishnamurti ( / ˈ dʒ ɪ d uː k r ɪ ʃ n ə ˈ m uː r t i/ – 17 February 1986) was a philosopher, speaker and writer.
