The masterly biography of one of the great spiritual leaders of the 20th century. When Krishnamurti was fourteen in 1909, he was proclaimed the world teacher-to-be in which Maitreya, the Bodhisattva of compassion, would manifest. This proclamation was made by Annie Besant, then president of the Theosophical Society, a movement that combined Western occult philosophy with Buddhist and Hindu teachings. But, despite undergoing twenty years of training, Krishnamurti rejected the Messianic role and set out alone on his spiritual quest.
