Krishnamurti's 'process' at Ojai

In August 1922, at a cottage in the Ojai Valley, the young Jiddu Krishnamurti, groomed by the Theosophists as a 'World Teacher', went through days of pain and visions that he described as a life-changing mystical experience.

The account

The 'process' recurred for years. In 1929 he dissolved the order built around him. Ojai remained his home and a centre for his followers.

The sceptical view

Biographers have suggested medical or psychological causes; the experience is known from his and his companions' accounts.
