LEADBEATER AND BESANT DESCRIBED BY SADHGURU

In the following video, from minute 2:40 to minute 6:00, Sadhguru spoke about Charles Leadbeater and Annie Besant, and although he said little about them, I find that most of what he said is incorrect:

CORRECTIONS

1. Sadhguru said "Leadbeater and Besant are brilliant intellects, there is no doubt about that."

But this asseveration is false because Charles Leadbeater was a huge charlatan and Annie Besant let herself be completely manipulated by him.

Both claimed to have highly developed clairvoyance, but all their clairvoyant investigations have turned out to be tremendously wrong.

And they also developed a pseudo-theosophy which is full of lies.

2. Sadhguru said, "For some reason and at some point, Leadbeater and Besant believed that with all the esoteric information they had gathered and through their intelligence, they could recreate the perfect man and chose Jiddu Krishnamurti."

But this asseveration is also false because Leadbeater and Besant were not seeking to create the perfect man, but rather Leadbeater wanted to further deceive people, and to achieve this he invented the lie that "The Lord Christ-Maitreya, the World Teacher" would soon come.

And Annie Besant completely believed this lie.

3. Sadhguru said, "When Krishnamurti was about 27 or 28 years old, Leadbeater and Besant decided to announce to the world that he was the ascended master, that the perfect master had arrived."

But this asseveration is also false.

First, Leadbeater and Besant announced Krishnamurti's existence to the world when he was 14 years old, not when he was 27 or 28 years old.

Then they claimed that Krishnamurti would be the messenger of Lord Christ-Maitreya, not that he was the perfect master.

And finally, theosophists never spoke of "ascended masters," this was a lie invented in 1930 by the fraudster Guy Ballard.

CONCLUSION

Sadhguru did not study Leadbeater, Besant, or the Masters well.
