People with the name Krishnamurti include:
- Jiddu Krishnamurti (often written J. Krishnamurti)
The two may be confused due to their similar names and backgrounds. The name Krishnamurti has been westernized into a surname in both cases, originally being a given name in their native India. Both Krishnamurtis were once connected with the Theosophical Society, Jiddu Krishnamurti having been groomed to be the World Teacher of the organization (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. Both men engaged in dialogue with each other over the course of several years, and both are widely known for their interest in speaking on the fundamental issues of existence.
