A Taste Of Life: The Last Days Of U.G.Krishnamurti is a biography of the person who has been called the 'anti-guru', the 'raging sage' and 'the thinker who shuns thought'. He was a person who famously described enlightenment as a neurobiological state of being with no religious, psychological or mystical implications. He did not lecture, did not set up organizations, held no gatherings and professed to have no message for mankind.

U.G.Krishnamurti spent his life destroying accepted beliefs in science, god, mind, soul, religion, love and relationships—all the props man uses to live life. He refused to replace the support systems with his own while he took them from those who came to him. He had a belief that each must find his own truth.

U.G.Krishnamurti shunned all medicinal help when it was time for him to go. He let the nature and body to take its course. On the afternoon of 22 March 2007, U.G. Krishnamurti passed away in Vallecrosia, Italy.

Mahesh Bhatt kept the vigil at the deathbed of U.G.Krishnamurti. At that deathbed U.G.Krishnamurti showed Mahesh Bhatt the way to live life that the author shares with us in the book. The revised edition contains a new section, 'A Taste of Death'—a record of the thirty days the author spent with U.G. in Gstaad Switzerland, in 1995, and constitutes an intimate and perceptive portrait of this unique thinker.
