Jiddu Krishnamurti
Indian philosopher and speaker who rejected organized religion while exploring consciousness and meditation.

His dialogues with scientists and educators explored perception and conditioning. Krishnamurti's insistence on individual inquiry without gurus or systems influenced mindfulness and humanistic psychology.
