The following individuals have this name:

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.
