You should have shared your insightful wisdom with the gurus, pundits, and scholars from all religions who flocked to meet Krishnamurti and have his darshan. You could have saved all of them a lot of time and energy wasted on meeting him when everything they needed is readily available in scriptures. All the more because he supposedly pooh pooed them.
Just because a lot of people flocked to meet someone is no measure of the person's greatness or holiness. Truth doesn't lie in the census of a person's followers. Hundreds of thousands followed Nithyananda, Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, Ashram Bapu, Osho etc and see what happened. And even today millions are following the latest fraud in town, namely Jaggi Vasudev. Just watch, it is a matter of time before he too is exposed.
You have conveniently omitted to comment on my expose on JK's adulterous affair with the American woman Rosalind, may I know why? A truly holy man must be holy both in public and in private whereas JK was "holy" only in public but privately he was a BIG FRAUD.
Anandamayi Ma, Maurice Friedman, Swami Venkateshananda have passed on and they were not aware of JK's hypocritical life when they met him. SV went to meet JK only to question JK as to why he was against gurus. AM also raised the same point with JK. SJ and AM did not go to JK for his darshan
The Dalai Lama is still alive . Not sure if he still has the same opinion about JK. And just because Buddhist scholars accept the teachings of JK does not necessarily mean that JK was Self-realized.
As far as I know Ramana Maharshi never met JK. But when asked about JK's teaching on Choiceless Awareness he replied as below:
Ramana Maharshi on Jiddu Krishanmurti’s Choiceless Awareness
A young man from Colombo, Ceylon, said to Bhagavan:
J. Krishnamurti teaches the method of effortless and choiceless awareness as distinct from that of deliberate concentration. Would Sri Bhagavan be pleased to explain how best to practise meditation and what form the object of meditation should take?
Ramana Maharshi:
Effortless and choiceless awareness is our real nature. If we can attain that state and abide in it, that is all right.
But one cannot reach it without effort, the effort of deliberate meditation.
All the age-old vasanas (inherent tendencies) turn the mind outwards to external objects. All such thoughts have to be given up and the mind turned inwards and that, for most people, requires effort. Of course, every teacher and every book tells the aspirant to keep quiet, but it is not easy to do so. That is why all this effort is necessary.
Even if we find somebody who has achieved this supreme state of stillness, you may take it that the necessary effort had already been made in a previous life.
So effortless and choiceless awareness is attained only after deliberate meditation.
That meditation can take whatever form most appeals to you.
See what helps you to keep out all other thoughts and adopt that for your meditation.
Comment: Yes, RM was categorical that MEDITATION was necessary for all spiritual aspirants though it may not be so for one who has attained the goal.
But my contention is that how could a Self-realized soul have made such a FUNDAMENTAL ERROR to say that MEDITATION, EFFORT, GURU were not necessary in the spiritual path?
My answer; A self-realzsed soul could never be so fundamentally wrong more so when he himself acted as a guru and yet criticized all other gurus..
Conclusion: JK WAS NOT SELF-REALISED.
You say, "no more from me on this". Sorry you are not able to refute my arguments rationally and so you wish to chicken out. Too bad.
Take note, I am only trying to help you. The teachings of JK are flawed. I can disprove all his teachings. I studied him carefully for about 5 years till I realized THAT HE WAS TALKING NONSENSE MOST OF THE TIME. That was before I came to know about his sexual shenanigans. And when I did, Iwas not surprised. it only confirmed that not only were his teachings very very misleading but that he was also a FALLEN YOGI assuming he was a yogi to start with.
