Blavatsky is indeed a very interesting persona. She is fascinating to look at.

I can never think of Blavatsky without (somehow) linking her to Krishnamurti.

If you ever want to hear Helen Nearing's side of Krishnamurti just read "Loving and Leaving the Good Life". She dedicates a full chapter to "The Young Impressionable Krishnamurti." (Nearing was the young violinist who was Krishnamurti's "almost".) I think that Nearing, in old age, still had issues about Krishnamurti or she would have let it go.

Josephine MacLeod had no such issues with Vivekananda. She once said that when she met Vivekananda that she had met her "soul."

I love this book, "Tantine".

Gotta get to work.

Dear Rosemary,

I used to be in contact with a Theosophist British author, named Jean Overton Fullar,
who passed away at age 94 in April 2009.

I have been hosting a website for her since 1999. You may visit it HERE

She wrote a book, entitled "Blavatsky and Her Teachers", which is very interesting.

She also authored a book in German about Krishnamurti, entitled:
"Krishnamurti, Der Geist weht, wo er will"....which translates to:
"The Spirit blows where it wills". Unfortunately, she didn't live long enough to translate
it into English.

I came into contact with Miss Fuller, due to her friendship with (previously
mentioned) British Spy, Noor Inayat Khan; and her book about her, published
in 1954, entitled: "Madeleine".

We do have a page of quotes from Jiddu Krishnamurti HERE

Of course, Annie Besant is considered as the founder of "Home Rule", and is
greatly respected in Mother India. Early in their relationship, Krishnamurti
and Besant had developed a very close bond and he considered her a surrogate
mother.
