GURUJI ABOUT J. KRISHNAMURTI

Do you know J. Krishnamurti?

Guruji: I’ve read most of his books, yes. My humble observation is: always look at the roots of the person. Blavatsky, Annie Besant and the Theosophical Society were training him to be the Buddha Maitreya, the next incarnation — and he simply refused, and the organization ended with him; he dissolved it. No matter how much philosophy you keep talking for the goodness of humanity. From a very grassroots point of view, it was a withdrawal from his mentors.

So you think…

Guruji: I’m thinking nothing — I’m just pointing out the obvious. I’m not giving any opinion on it. What I’m saying: if someone is too philosophical and talking very nicely — you always check out his background.

We don’t know about it.

Guruji: Oh, it’s widespread information now, even on Google. They chose him very carefully with all his astrological things, and they were training him to be the next incarnation of Buddha Maitreya; and he was trained from his early childhood. So whatever he is saying — “you don’t need a Guru for anything” — it was wrong; he himself was trained. They made him an international name also. He didn’t just suddenly appear out of the blue and become famous.

What was the aim of training?

Guruji: That the spirit of the Buddha Maitreya would descend inside him — like the Holy Spirit descended into Jesus Christ. It was a big plan. If you have been trained by such powerful theosophical people, you naturally go through many experiences: you’re trained for that. But he was the cause of the organization’s disappearance. But I’ve read most of his books.

I like him so much, that’s why I’m asking…

Guruji: His talks are good, no doubt. But I’m a practical man — and I’m pointing out the practical background also. You must consider that also. See, everybody is talking good; who is not talking good?

In my opinion his talks are hard to understand.

Guruji: That’s why they are called philosophical talks: what you don’t understand — you just label it as philosophical.
