Dear Friend,

I am writing below passage from Indian Section handbook. They might have taken references from 'Old Diary Leaves' by H.S. Olcott.:-

" The one and the only one" with prophetic vision wrote H. P. Blavatsky of Annie Besant in 1890. Annie Besant was appointed before Mme. Blavatsky's passing in 1891 as "Chief Secretary of the Inner Group of the Esoteric Section and Recorder of the Teaching", and her successor in Outer Headship of the Esoteric Section. Among other duties she had the custodianship of H.P.B.'s unpublished teachings, as explained by the President-Founder in 1891 at the European Convention a few months after H.P.B.'s passing: " H.P.B. has not gone away and left us absolutely without unpublished remains;on the contrary she has left a large body of them, and in the custody of her chosen depository, Mrs. Besant, who in the proper way and at the proper moment, will give them out to the world."

---------------------------------------------------------------------

It shows H.P.B. had complete confidence in occult development, capacity and character of Annie Besant. When it is so clearly written it is ridiculous that some people don't respect Annie Besant and her judgement.

Similarly Annie Besant has expressed complete confidence in occult development of C.W. Leadbeater at many places.

Best regards.

Fraternally,

Anand Gholap
