Interesting and Useful UG Krishnamurti Page
“In 1939, when UG was 21 years of age, he went and met Sri Ramana Maharshi and asked him, ‘This thing called moksha, can you give it to me?’ Ramana reply, ‘I can give it, but can you take it?’ struck him like a ‘thunderbolt’ and set him up on a relentless search for truth that ended at the age of 49 with a totally unforeseen result.”
A totally unforseen result. That’s useful to remember.
More discussion of good old UG here. UG Krishnamurti, one of my favorite “enlightened dudes”, has died. “Thinker and philosopher U.G. Krishnamurti, 89, died at Vallecrosia, Italy, on Thursday” (March 28, 2007)

Funny enough, Jody Radzik (owner of the Guruphiliac Blog) claimed: 1) He is self-realized; 2) He is a devotee of the Hindu Goddess Kali Ma; 3) He has a Guru; 4) He uses and promotes illegal psychedelic drugs.
Did you know this? Now you do.

I gather you feel there’ is something terrible about this? ;-}
I knew he had a history of connection with psychedelics, and that he talks about his guru. I hadn’t heard him say or write that he was “self-realized”, however he chooses to define that, but it doesn’t surprise me.
And saying you are a devotee of kali is just darn cute. As one of the personifications of death, kali is a suitable mascot for practicioners.
