At the age of ten he became an orphan. His father was an early member of the Aydar Theosophical Society, which took over the education of his son and chose him as a world teacher and messiah. With the early loss of his mother in 1909, the then head of the Theosophical Society, Dr. Besant, the upbringing of the young Krishnamurti, who was adopted by him. According to the theosophists, a new Messiah was announced, which they saw in him. In preparation for his task as a world teacher, they set up the organization "Star of the East" in 1911, which operated worldwide and at whose head Jiddu Krishnamurti was placed. He represented the basic theosophical ideas of the universal brotherhood, according to which everyone and everything is filled with a cosmic consciousness and participates in it as a kin. Numerous currents such as Buddhism, Tantrism as well as yoga and guru teachings found their way into theosophical thought and were alternately decisive for the dogmatic foundation of the organization.
From 1922 onward, Jiddu Krishnamurti began to distance himself from the Theosophical Society and its spiritual teachings because he saw himself as too much absorbed - especially ideologically. This process lasted until August 3, 1929, when he finally separated from her. Since then, he has been less and less perceived by the public as a religious preacher. His audience experienced a worldly-minded philanthropist and admonisher who, with statements of values and existence, fundamentally called for people's intellectual freedom and, with one of his many key messages: "Truth is a country without predetermined paths," also warned against his own ideas as spiritual appropriation : Man may achieve his freedom through concentrated attention on his own mind and through knowledge of the nature of that mind. Self-knowledge and the knowledge of determining factors of a religious, ideological or political nature were his constant concerns in his work - with the goal of freedom and harmony between humans and nature.
In this context, Jiddu Krishnamurti asked questions about the ego and about thinking in its limitations; he recognized ideals as projections of thinking that distract from the actual problems and conflicts. Until the end of the 1960s, the thinker, without teaching of his own, was busy traveling and writing, which made him both popular and popular with the public. He wrote numerous speeches, newsletters, notebooks, diaries, notes, letters and books and traveled to Europe, Asia and the American continent, among other places. He not only founded numerous schools there, but also gained well-known personalities as friends such as the Irish playwright Bernard Shaw and the Indian politician Jawaharlal Nehru. His more than 60 publications, which have been translated into numerous languages, include titles such as "Perfect Freedom - The Krishnamurti Book", "On Love, The Truth is a Pathless Country" and "Education for the Art of Living - Letters to His Schools".
