Krishnamurti attracted the interest of the mainstream religious establishment in India. He engaged in discussions with several well known Hindu and Buddhist scholars and leaders, including the [[Dalai Lama]].{{efn| The Dalai Lama characterised Krishnamurti as a ''"great soul"'' (Jayakar, "Krishnamurti" p 203). Krishnamurti very much enjoyed the Lama's company and by his own admission could not bring up his anti-guru views, mindful of the Lama's feelings.}} Several of these discussions were later published as chapters in various Krishnamurti books.

Krishnamurti was very highly regarded by several leading religious figures in India. [[Nisargadatta Maharaj]] described Krishnamurti as 'complete [[Brahman]]'.<ref>"I am Unborn (Talks with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj)", Page 100, Chapter 45.</ref> [[Anandamayi Ma]] addressed him as the 'Guru of gurus'.<ref>Jayakar, Pupul (1986). Krishnamurti:A biography, page 144</ref> When [[Ramana Maharshi]] was asked why Krishnamurti dissolved the Order of the Star in the East, he replied "The Order's purpose stood consummated in that the World Teacher had arrived; that is why it was dissolved."<ref>Blutkeim, Aham Sphurana: Scintillations of Jnana from Sri Ramana Maharishi, page 408.</ref>

Notable individuals influenced by Krishnamurti include [[George Bernard Shaw]], [[David Bohm]], [[Jawaharlal Nehru]], the [[14th Dalai Lama|Dalai Lama]], [[Aldous Huxley]], [[Alan Watts]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vjshtqhddg|title=Alan Watts talking about Jiddu Krishnamurti &#124; He was an Extraordinary Mystic|website=[[YouTube]]}}</ref> [[Henry Miller]], [[Bruce Lee]],<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Colet |first=Robert |date=August 1986 |title=Krishnamurti: The Spiritual Force Behind Bruce Lee |url=https://www.jkrishnamurti.org/sites/default/files/Robert-Colet-Bruce-Lee.pdf |journal=Inside Kung Fu |volume=13 |issue=8 |pages=73–75}}</ref> [[Terence Stamp]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdB-OMnjaMc&list=PLnUHGKHE-_MFi1IC_7XMPUudeIz0GRIez&index=21|title = Terence Stamp speaking at the Krishnamurti Centre|website = [[YouTube]]| date=27 August 2018 }}</ref> [[Jackson Pollock]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.columbia.edu/~lnp3/mydocs/culture/pollock.htm, |title= Jackson Pollock (By L.

Interest in Krishnamurti and his work has persisted in the years since his death. Many books, audio, video, and computer materials, remain in print and are carried by major online and traditional retailers. The four official Foundations continue to maintain archives, disseminate the teachings in an increasing number of languages, convert print to digital and other media, develop websites, sponsor television programs, and organise meetings and dialogues of interested persons around the world.<ref>See also [http://www.ereleases.com/pr/20040701001.html ''The Complete Teachings Project''] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090202071949/http://ereleases.com/pr/20040701001.html |date=2 February 2009}}, an ambitious effort to collect the entire body of Krishnamurti's work into a coherently edited master reference.</ref>

Nevertheless, at his deathbed Krishnamurti reportedly said "Nobody has understood my teachings,"<ref>Toni Packer, ''The Silent Question''</ref> a statement hesitantly acknowledged by many.
