Anand,

I can't wait to see how Gregory Tillett will 
respond to your words below on Leadbeater's
birthdate:

"You are probably saying that he did not tell 
correct birth date, then why should we trust 
things he tells about higher planes. Here there 
are minimum three possibilities. 

First is birth date Leadbeater gave was accurate 
and government records were false. At that time 
record keeping was poor. Even now it is poor in 
many countries.

Second possibility is Leadbeater made mistake 
so even if he wanted to give true information by 
mistake he gave wrong birth date. These two
are most probable cases. Even Masters also make 
mistakes of this kind and they have written so.

Third possibility is he lied. Person intentionally 
lies when he has some gain from lying. By telling 
wrong birth date there was nothing which Leadbeater 
could get. On the contrary there was huge risk of
being proven wrong without any gain. So this 
possibility of intentionally lying is almost nil."
