Uppaluri Gopala Krishnamurti can be called a guru in that many people come to him looking for spiritual guidance. He writes no books, but instead others tape and place in book-form their encounters with him. His answers are in a very anti-guru fashion: "There is no teaching of mine, and never shall be one."
His main theme is that people come to him, and to other gurus, looking either for solutions to ease their everyday real problems, or for solutions to a fabricated problem, which is the search for spirituality, and Enlightenment (concept). This drive is caused by our cultural environment which on the one hand demands conforming of the individuals, and on the other places upon them the want of being special. This need is then exploited by gurus, spiritual teachers, sellers of "shoddy goods", who promise the way to reach that goal, but never deliver, and can't, since that goal is unreachable.
