Krishnamurti

Krishnamurti

Krishnamurti (also spelled Krishnamurthy, Krishnamoorthi, Krishnamoorthy, Krishnamurthi, or Krishnamurti) is a South Indian name. It refers to the idol form of Krishna ("murthy" meaning "idol" in Sanskrit).

The following individuals have this name:

*Suchitra Krishnamoorthi
*Soorya Krishnamoorthy
*Jana Krishnamurthi
*Krishnamurthy Perumal
*Kalki Krishnamurthy
*Nedunuri Krishnamurthy
*Pochiah Krishnamurthy
*T S Krishnamurthy
*Yamini Krishnamurthy
*Bhadriraju Krishnamurti, eminent Dravidian linguist
*Jiddu Krishnamurti (often written J. Krishnamurti)
*U. G. Krishnamurti, famous philosopher (1918-2007)
*Krishnamurthi Muniandy
*Kavita Subramaniam (born Sharada Krishnamurthy)

These people may be confused due to their similar names and backgrounds. The name Krishnamurti has been westernized into a surname in all the three cases, originally being a given name in their native India. Jiddu Krishnamurti and U. G. Krishnamurti were once connected with the Theosophical Society Adyar, Jiddu Krishnamurti having been groomed to be the World Teacher for this age (a position he later renounced as incompatible with the personal search for truth), and U. G. Krishnamurti having been a one-time international lecturer with the organization a few decades later. Both men engaged in dialogue, and both are widely known for their interest in speaking on the fundamental issues of existence.
