U.G. Krishnamurti famously described enlightenment as a neurobiological state of being with no religious, psychological or mystical implications. He did not lecture, did not set up organizations, held no gatherings and professed to have no message for mankind. Known as the ‘anti-guru’, the ‘raging sage’ and the ‘thinker who shuns thought’, U.G. spent his life destroying accepted beliefs in science, god, mind, soul, religion, love and relationships?all the props man uses to live life. Having taken away all support systems from those who came to him, he refused to replace them with those of his own; always insisting that each must find his own truth. And when U.G. knew that it was time for him go, he refused all attempts to prolong life with medical help. He let nature, and his body, take their course. On the afternoon of 22 March 2007, U.G. Krishnamurti passed away in Vallecrosia, Italy. Consciousness & Thought Logic & Language Philosophers Philosophy Professionals & Academics Religious Figures Spirituality

The Taste of Life is not just about an extraordinary human being identified as UG or an emotion-packed long obituary by his arch devotee, Mahesh Bhatt, but also a brilliant literary piece with the potential of triggering a chain reaction of intense self-enquiry that has the mystical alchemy of turning Gautam Siddharth into Gautam Buddha. On a personal note, it revived the memory of my own time spent with him in Mumbai, Bangalore, New Delhi, Gstaad (Switzerland) and California.
