Dear friends and Cass

My views are:

Have you read Sathya Sai Baba's books with the SAME emphasis and compared them with J. Krishnamurti's?
Commercials are not always objective. I think we know that.

Try this easy one: GUIDE TO INDIAN CULTURE AND SPIRITUALITY (Q & A's between Sai Baba and a Seeker).
http://sss.vn.ua/guide_in.htm

Here are writings given by Sathya Sai Baba - taken down by a near follow named N. Kasturi.
http://www.sssbpt.info

A book about the Avatar and the allegations etc etc.
"SATHYA SAI BABA AS AVATAR" by Michael James Spurr, 2007, 450 pages
http://ir.canterbury.ac.nz/bitstream/10092/1025/1/thesis_fulltext.pdf

Sathya Sai Baba's teachings are called Purusothama Yoga (Something like - Karma, Bakhti, Jnana blended all one in one. Or something like the heart path of Adwaita Vedanta.)

- - -
Those interested will find a disagreement in dead letters between Sai Baba and H. P. Blavatsky on when the Kali Yuga began.
One will also find that Sathya Sai Baba's teaching are very synthetic in nature, similar to H. P. Blavatsky's. Whereas J. Krishnamurti's was only a pseudo-Adwaita teaching where he almost always referred to himself and never to the sages and Avatars of the ancient times. And almost never comparing his words with others. No chela teachings like HPB and Sathya Sai Baba are in agreement about.

And when you read H. P. Blavatsky's book a Key to Theosophy you will understand the IMPORTANCE of seeking to promote, the mutual essence of the wisdom teachings from a religions of ancient past and present - so to seek to END all the strifes.  And NOT to do like J. Krishnamurti - merely creating his own doctrine and sect, without really relating it to anything else but almost only his own thoughts.

But these are my views, and are written so that some of you might catch a glimpse of the true light and not a fanatical one no matter who is right or wrong.

  I can only speak for myself - I gained considerable knowledge from Krishnamurti concerning the ego and how it operates.
  From Sai Baba all I learnt was the materialism of trinkets

  Dear friends and Cass

  My views are:

  You wrote:
  "I believe Krishnamurti fulfilled Blavatsky prediction that a Teacher would come"

  H. P. Blavatsky wrote the following in her famous book The Secret Doctrine (Volume I + II): 

  "The same may be said of the whole Esoteric system. One turn of the key, and no more, was given in "ISIS." Much more is explained in these volumes. In those days the writer hardly knew the language in which the work was written, and the disclosure of many things, freely spoken about now, was forbidden. In Century the Twentieth some disciple more informed, and far better fitted, may be sent by the Masters of Wisdom to give final and irrefutable proofs that there exists a Science called Gupta-Vidya; and that, like the once-mysterious sources of the Nile, the source of all religions and philosophies now known to the world has been for many ages forgotten and lost to men, but is at last found."
  (H. P. Blavatsky "The Secret Doctrine", vol. 1., ULT-edition, Facsimile of the original edition from 1888 ). 

  - - -

  Now if J. Krishnamurti fulfilled H. P. Blavatsky's prediction he must have been giving - as Blavatsky said in the above - "final and irrefutable proofs that there exists a Science called Gupta-Vidya; and that, like the once-mysterious sources of the Nile, the source of all religions and philosophies now known to the world has been for many ages forgotten and lost to men, but is at last found."

  Where were and are those - quoted - "irrefutable proofs" given by J. Krishnamurti?
  And if Dalai Lama is the hot shot, where were or are his - quoted - "irrefutable proofs"?
  And C. W. Leadbeater, who only were a clairvoyant for about 16 years before he singlehandedly discovered, lo, the Teacher of the AGE - and not the teacher of the decade, - where was his - quoted - "irrefutable proofs" on Gupta Vidya?

  I conclude there were and are none yet.
  Whereas - if anyone since 1925 until 2009 - should we said to have given such a proof, it aught to be Sathya Sai Baba despite the many bad romours about him. 

  Is there anyone who disagree with me on this?

  Although, I am not the one saying that Sathya Sai Baba is the Avatar of the Age, despite he him self are saying that.

  How would I know?
  Cass
  Mr. J.M. Prentice followed, and Dawn is able to reproduce his eloquent address in full. He said: -
  "In view of the importance of this occasion, in view of the importance of the work we are starting tonight, I want - by way of introduction - to refer to something which I have never hitherto referred to in public: I want to tell you the circumstances in which H.P.B. died. I wish you to go back with me some thirty-two years and picture a room - half bedroom, half study, and see there an old woman, worn out in the work of Humanity, diseased and ill, gasping out her last few life-breaths. And I want you to note that as she dies a wave of despair well-nigh engulfs her, despair not for herself, but for the movement to which she has devoted her life. See her seated in a great arm-chair, and hear the last words which she whispers ere she dies: "Tell Annie to keep the link unbroken." That was the link with the Great Powers which were behind the Society and the White Lodge which was responsible for bringing it into
  existence. I want to tell you something of the happenings in the years that have followed since then, and how Annie, who is, of course, Mrs. Besant, has acted in regard to keeping the link unbroken. It is a sad story. It is the story of one who failed to reach the level of greatness indicated for her, who failed so utterly as to make H.P.B.'s despair understandable now.
  "Within two years of Blavatsky's death the lust for power that has been such a feature of Mrs. Besant's career manifested itself, and that dominant pride of personality that H.P.B. had so severely rebuked, had shown itself. In 1892 (3-4), there was - what shall I call it? - a conflict between two of the personalities that were left in charge of the movement, and the result of the clash was the ruinous experience known as the Judge secession in 1895. There is little profit in reviewing all the details, but I want to say this: it was largely the result of Annie Besant's work, of her failure to understand the principles of universal brotherhood, that the movement was well-nigh wrecked then. That section of the movement which followed Mr. Judge in 1895 passed, after his death in 1896, into the hands of Mrs. Katherine Tingley, who is still the leader of a comparatively small section of the Theosophical Society, and who is doing good work.
  She has devoted herself to the cause of Universal Brotherhood and world peace, and we recognize the value of the work she has done in America, Holland, and the Scandinavian countries; but she again, because of this terrific lust for power, was not able to control even that portion of the movement which came under her control, so there was a further split, and that movement, that second secession, is now known as The United Lodge of Theosophists, which in turn is doing a splendid work, more especially in republishing Blavatsky's books exactly as she wrote them, and not as they have been re-edited since.
  "The years that followed the Judge secession were marked by the introduction of Neo-Theosophy. Slowly there emerges the sinister figure of an old friend - C.W. Leadbeater. He
  represents all that is worst in the whole movement. In 1906, and right on until 1908, there were launched round him a series of scandals that are so unsavory that I am not going to inflict any of them on you. He resigned in 1906, and, as Mr. Gillespie has told you, he went out originally with the unsparing condemnation of Mrs. Besant. However, she very soon brought him back, because she found him necessary in supplying her with all the psychic stuff requisite to the career on which she found herself embarked. She was not able to get all the choice bits of psychic information required to feed the flock of devotees with which she had surrounded herself, so, as our sinister friend had already succeeded in cultivating a world-wide impression that he was the greatest clairvoyant in existence, he was recalled to assist her. Moreover, in connection with the appearance of some questionable spooks that were construed in the Persons of the Masters at the death-bed
  of the President-Founder, Colonel Olcott, Leadbeater had performed a signal service to Mrs. Besant by declaring, from the kindly shelter of a Sicilian villa to which he had retired in the hour of his downfall, that they were genuine. True, he was not there, and knew nothing of what had actually happened; but so cleverly had he worked himself in a position of being the mouthpiece of the Masters, that his testimony was sufficient to swing over many of the doubters, and so, by his help, Mrs. Besant had been elected President.
  "In 1908 he triumphantly returned to the movement, and very shortly we see the first evidences of a plan which had been slowly maturing in his mind - the first direct evidence of absolute departure from Universal Brotherhood, and the neutrality that goes with it is in the beginnings of the "Order of the Star in the East." I know that we were told, until we were sick of listening to it, that the O.S.E. had no direct or official connection with the Theosophical Society; but it was one of the first fruits of Neo-Theosophy, it fastened itself on to the movement, and the parasitic growth has drawn its very life therefrom ever since.
  "In 1911-12 there was another split. If there is anything in the world that Mrs. Besant will not tolerate, it is the possibility of a rival. She saw one in the person of Dr. Rudolph Steiner. It did not take long for Mrs. Besant to inaugurate a plan of campaign. She saw fit to expel the whole of the German Section of 2,500 members. And why? What do you think was her excuse for literally kicking out all these members? Because, she said, Dr. Steiner was giving a presentation of Theosophy which was Christian in its nature, that it would probably be offensive to non-Christian members in other parts of the world. And yet she now does everything she possibly can to foster and enliven the Liberal Catholic Church, another parasitic growth that has caused endless trouble in regard to the free-running life of the Society. The Liberal Catholic Church is much more likely to offend non-Christian Theosophists than ever was Dr. Steiner's presentation
  of Theosophy. Indeed, it has offended many of us who were nominally Christian Theosophists - Christian by accident of birth, but Theosophists by conviction and long study. This is just a little example of the inconstancy that goes with Neo-Theosophy. And there are dozens of others. The chain that H.P.B. forged by her selfless service to Humanity has been broken, not once, but dozens of times, the chain that linked the world of today with all the splendid workers of the past, and which should have gone on into the future in unbroken splendor, has been broken into fragments because "Annie" was unfaithful to the charge given to her by the dying Blavatsky, and had failed to keep the particular link delivered into her hands unbroken.

  Dear Cass

  If I may add to your discussion, your point concerning 
  a teacher rather than Messiah is, from my perspective, 
  well made and significant.

  Moreover, Madame Blavatsky's words "...numerous and 
  united body of people..." and "..an organisation awaiting 
  his arrival..." are also significant.

  As I have mentioned previously, in 1973 the Dalai Lama 
  first visited the West in Europe. 
  He found "...numerous and united body of people..." 
  and an organisational structure ready for his teachings. 
  Many of these teachings are theosophical and from Madame 
  Blavatsky's masters' tradition. 
  She was entrusted to bring some of these same teachings to 
  the West a century earlier.
  The Dalai Lama has certainly been a torchbearer for the light 
  of compassion and non-violence in the world. 
  And contrary to most religions, he also teaches we have to 
  discover the nature of our self, by ourselves, through 
  studying our mind and not through blindly following dogma, 
  despite his tradition's many dogmas.

  Kind regards
  Nigel
