ABSTRACT

While Mrs Besant at home and in England was busy with Co-Masonry, with the E.S., with the Order of the Star, and with all the other picturesque and colourful preparations for the return of the Lord Maitreya or Christ, Mr Leadbeater, in his Australian exile, was not idle. Mrs Besant was pre-occupied by the need for providing an adequate organization for the work of the World-Teacher. In Holland a young Dutchman presented to Mr Krishnamurti his house and estate, in the grounds of which was established an annual Star Camp. One morning Mr Krishnamurti rose to deliver an address to the assembled campers. It could be seen at once that he was now speaking for himself and not merely as a mouthpiece; and his words confirmed the impression in no dubious manner. Up to 1929 Mr Krishnamurti’s life was entangled in a complex network of far-reaching claims.
