The Discovery and Early Life of Jiddu Krishnamurti
In 1909, a boy named Jiddu Krishnamurti was found on a beach in Chennai, sparking considerable intrigue due to his unique aura noted by Charles Ledbeater, who considered himself clairvoyant. Krishnamurti's upbringing was tumultuous, with a background of frequent beatings from his father and teachers, who misjudged his dreamy disposition as laziness or intellectual disability. After being taken under the wing of Ledbeater, he received a rigorous education emphasizing English fluency, religious studies, and upper-class etiquette, alongside his inseparable younger brother. This transformative experience marked the beginning of a journey where he was prepared to fulfill the role of the world teacher, believed by some to be the incarnation of Maitreya, the final Buddha meant to enlighten humanity.
