is there any way to objectively measure influence in matters of personal belief we are discussing beliefs ie strongly held opinions to use a krishnamurti definition not facts think before you answer then you will see why the influence section as well as the criticism section are useless and non neutral no matter what you do since they are basically opinion polls whether they be academic or not in the particular case though you left out the second part of the opening krishnamurti's lasting influence is hard to gauge in an objective way there is no organizational or other entity based on his philosophy whose progress can be measured since there is no entity whose membership or importance in world events would explicitly imply direct influence of krishnamurti all we can have are indications not objective gauges the foundations and schools were specifically set up by krishnamurti as not to be such entities
