HPB was very clear about the messenger to be expected this century. From
what I have read, Krishnamurti fits the scenario except that he did not
pursue the plan that was expected of him by Annie Besant and Leadbeater.
With all the hype and the tremendous influence that Annie Besant had and
also the very close relationship Krishnaji had with her -- he always
referred her as mother -- he came out with the startling stand that "Truth
is a Pathless Land" and no organization or no system can take one to Truth.
He stuck to it rest of his life with no wavering or modification.
Considering the huge number of people who have been affected by
Krishnamurti, there is a very good possibility he may fit the profile.
Having said all this, no one can be sure. May be a 1,000 years from now, if
no one knows about Krishnamurti or his writings/speeches, then we can
dismiss him. If on the other hand his philosophy flourishes at that time,
then it would be a corrobortive information.
However there are many who does not think that he does not fit the profile.
So this argument may go on for many years to come.
The above is just my view. Others mileage and direction may vary.
