About U. G. Krishnamurti
- Uppaluri Gopala Krishnamurti (9 July 1918 – 22 March 2007), known as U.
- G.
- Krishnamurti, or just U.G., was an Indian speaker who questioned the state of enlightenment.
- Although many considered him an "enlightened" person, U.G.
- often referred to his state of being as the "natural state".
- He claimed that the desire for the experience of enlightenment only takes one further away from one’s natural state, and that the search for enlightenment is essentially a neurotic search for permanent pleasure and happiness. 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 – "Tell them that there is nothing to understand." He was unrelated to his contemporary Jiddu Krishnamurti, although the two men had a number of meetings.
- He would affirm most of his reflections were directly related and influenced by the teaching of Jiddu Krishnamurti, from which he tried to distance himself by re-interpreting the content of his teaching, stripping it of psychological content and introducing the biological factor to describe the way in which his body was working.
