Death
On March 22, 2007 U.G. Krishnamurti died at Vallecrosia in Italy. He had slipped and injured himself, and was bedridden for seven weeks before his death. Three friends, including long term devotee Mahesh Bhatt were by his side when he died. In February 2007 he had dictated his final speech, "My Swan Song".
He had asked that no rituals or funeral rites be conducted upon his death; also, he did not leave instructions on how to dispose of his body. Krishnamurti's body was cremated by Bhatt the next day. True to his own philosophy, Krishnamurti did not want to be remembered after his death.

“Because you live, O Christ,
the spirit bird of hope is freed for flying,
our cages of despair no longer keep us closed and life-denying.
The stone has rolled away and death cannot imprison!
O sing this Easter Day, for Jesus Christ has risen!”
—Shirley Erena Murray (20th century)
