Failure of J. Krishnamurti on the Path of Occultism

by

Anand Gholap

On the path of occultism there are some aspirants who fail. Virtues like truthfulness, love, kindness must be developed to a very high degree in order to succeed in occultism. If these qualities are less, a person fails on the path of occultism. J. Krishnamurti is an example of such failure.

In the Bible, one can read how one spirit rebelled against God and created doubt about God and His teaching in the minds of Adam and Eve. J. Krishnamurti's speeches are of similar a nature. According to him all great teachers and their teachings corrupt the minds of people. J. Krishnamurti does not have any respect for even great teachers like Lord Jesus Christ. Anybody who reads J. Krishnamurti's speeches will notice that J. Krishnamurti did not have knowledge of what is written by other spiritual teachers, what is written in religions. Also one can notice that J. Krishnamurti did not have the capacity to investigate the hidden laws of nature, he was not a clairvoyant nor an occultist. So there is no originality or original, new knowledge in J. Krishnamurti's speeches. This shows that he did not have the capacity to study writings of other teachers, and he himself also did not have the capacity to find the laws of nature. All philosophy of Krishnamurti is based on one principle : to attack teachings of other great teachers. 

According to J. Krishnamurti all great teachers corrupt minds of people, and their teaching is harmful to people. This idea of J. Krishnamurti is ridiculously wrong. It is like saying that if a person is not taught anything, he will be a better person. What J. Krishnamurti is saying is that uneducated tribal man is better than the educated scientist who discovers solutions to solve problems of humanity. What Krishnamurti is saying is that a person who never studied any relegion or spiritual teaching is more virtuous than person who studies religions. This is highly misleading and damaging to humanity. Most people on the earth, at the present stage of evolution are selfish and have all the vices instinctively. And only way to keep them on the path of virtues is to teach them the importance of virtues and bad consequences of vices. Lord Jesus Christ, Theosophy and such great teachings do exactly that. And such teaching is absolutely necessary to make people virtuous, loving, kind, and truthful.

J. Krishnamurti attacked teaching of great spiritual teachers. One might think that a demonic, evil spirit had taken his possession and made him talk against holy teachers and their teachings. According to Christianity people are saved by faith in Jesus Christ. And Krishnmurti's whole philosophy is intended to destroy the faith of people in Godly things, teaching of prophets and saints. When C.W. Leadbeater found J. Krishnamurti, he had expected that J. Krishnamurti would become a vehicle for Christ. But this experiment failed miserably. J. Krishnamurti neither understood Theosophy, nor any other teaching. What he could do was only destroy faith of people in all great spiritual and religious teachings.

C. W. Leadbeater was a great occultist who successfully guided tens of thousand of people in spiritual development. He prepared great Theosophists like C. Jinarajadasa and G. S. Arundale. C. W. Leadbeater could not prepare Krishnamurti because of big weakenesses which J. Krishnamurti had.

Krishnamurti's speeches did much damage to great organization Theosophical Society, Adyar. This damage was done in many ways. Members of TS lost faith in Theosophy because of J. Krishnamurti's speeches. Some officers in TS believed Krishnamurti's speeches are Theosophy. These officers misled many ordinary members of TS and removed faith of members from teaching of Annie Besant and Leadbeater. These officers misled ordinary members of TS by telling them that Krishnamurti's speeches are Theosophy.

Krishnamurti also did much damage to great religions like Christianity. A large number of people lost faith in Christianity because of Krishnamurti's speeches against religions.

Krishnamurti talks about instant knowing of the Truth. According to Krishnamurti a person knows Truth instantly without long preparation. But the fact is that in the last 70 years also none came forward and said that he knew the Truth by following Krishnamurti's methods.

According to Krishnamurti following a Spiritual Master or Guru is harmful and people should not follow any Spiritual Masters. Facts prove that Krishnamurti was wrong here also. The history of thousands of years is filled with testimonies of self-realized people about how Spiritual Masters or Gurus helped spiritual development of disciples.

According to J. Krishnamurti spiritual teaching, reading books on spirituality corrupt minds of people. Facts prove that J. Krishnamurti is wrong. There are tens of thousands of testimonies about how Bible and other spiritual books helped people greatly in spiritual development.

One well known person who witnessed devastating effects of J. Krishnamurti's speeches on people wrote "During the seven or more years of Krishnamurti's later mission (of teaching) I have seen many promising lives rendered tragically fruitless, many hopes destroyed, and many good servants of humanity lost to that service. Under Krishnamurti's influence they have thrown overboard the whole of life's experiences, life's illuminations, and life's understanding. Religion, philosophy, ethics, and even morals – on all these they have turned a scornful back. They have done this in the utterly vain belief that by so doing they will gain some mysterious enlightenment hitherto hidden from them.

I have seen noble-hearted, pure-minded men and women, both young and old, throw over their previous moral restraint, cast aside that discipline of life without which there can be no happiness. I have watched them cease from a service to those less fortunate than themselves"

All this they do, as they suppose, at the bidding of Krishnamurti."

"Questions put to him (to Krishnamurti) demonstrate very clearly that Krishnamurti has led people into this darkness. I speak feelingly, for I have seen and known so many who have made just that mistake. Once radiant, they are now in darkness. Once loving friends to all, they are now scornful and bitter opponents of their old friends and co-workers. Once useful citizens, they are now idle. Not only are they idle, but they scorn those who remain active in the service of city, country and race. Once self-controlled, vegetarian, teetotallers and refined of speech, they now scorn all systematic discipline, eat meat, smoke, take alcohol and are addicted to coarse language. All this is justified by the plea of fuller self-expression. Great is the tragedy of such ruined lives – a tragedy all too common since Krishnamurti took up his mission (of teaching)"

J. Krishnamurti failed on the path of occultism and he misled people by removing their faith in great Spiritual Teachers and Theosophy. What people should do now is completely ignore Krishnamurti's speeches and continue studying good spiritual teaching given by great Theosophists like Annie Besant and C.W. Leadbeater.

Readers will get references about J. Krishnamurti or Alcyone in Theosophical literature. These references may be read in order to understand how Krishnamurti was being prepared for higher spiritual growth. J. Krishnamurti later failed. So what he spoke independently should be completely ignored. J. Krishnamurti's speeches are extremely harmful to people.
