Theos-Talk Archives (February 2009 Message tt00014)

Very fact that Radha Burnier wanted P. Krishna to become President of
the TS proves that she is of the opinion that Theosophy is less
important and TS should promote Krishnamurty's philosophy. When her
real motives are now known to followers of Theosophy, they should
remove her from the office and install a person who is true
Theosophist and not a Krishnamurtian. Unfortunately Radha, who is a
shrewd politician, has taken care that no true Theosophist can become
so strong in TS that he would defeat her or her cousin P. Krishna. She
deliberately suppressed members who were true Theosophists and saw
that they don't become strong and don't control the TS. Her plan for
many years was to hand over Theosophical Society to Krishnamurtians,
who would use it to promote Krishnamurti's teaching. Radha does not
understand spiritual things well.
Annie Besant and Leadbeater wanted to make the path ready for the
Christ. If we assume that Christ taught through Krishnamurti, and if
he was real Christ, then He will accomplish His mission through
Krishnamurti Foundation. There is no need for Theosophical Society to
involve in that work. Christ is capable to do His work through His
organization. But World Teacher project failed, Christ found that
Krishnamurti was not co-operating with Him. 
If you have studied Bible, you will know that Jesus had to willingly
co-operate with the will of Christ. When Jesus was about to be
crucified, he said "Father, please take this cup (of death) away from
me, but let your will be done and not mine". It means even if Jesus
had free will, he co-operated with the Father. Work depended on the
Father and co-operation of Jesus.
 In case of Krishnamurti, project failed because Krishnamurti could
not become proper vehicle for the work of the Christ.
John, the baptist, started his work before Jesus in order to make the
path ready for Jesus Christ. After Jesus came and started his work,
John did not interfere in Jesus' work. Prophet John knew that his work
was only to make the path and not to involve in the work of Jesus. 
Radha is wrongly thinking that her job is to involve in the work of
Krishnamurti. TS made path for Krishnamurti, what happens next is not
the responsibility of the TS. 
When Blavatsky and Masters founded TS, they did not found the TS with
the object "work for Christ". They had set three objects which are
different. Although all work is Christ's work, there are different
projects that work independently. Theosophy and World-Teacher project
are different. They should not be mixed. 
In India, there are many different spiritual traditions. As I was
interested in spirituality from young age, I got involved in some of
them. I am a Christian and I appreciate Christian spirituality. But,
despite my contacts with different spiritual traditions, I don't mix
one spiritual tradition with the other. 
Radha does not understand the point that different spiritual
traditions have different methods, and so they should not be mixed.
Radha is sacrificing Theosophical Society for J. Krishnamurti, who had
failed, and through whom Christ did not work.
In last many years Radha has indirectly pressured officers to study
and promote Krishnamurti's teaching. That is why you see many officers
study Krishnamurti also. In Esoteric School also Radha had promoted
Krishnamurti's books. The teaching in Krishnamurti's books is exactly
opposite of what Theosophy of Leadbeater and Blavatsky taught.
Leadbeater himself rejected Krishnamurti's basic teaching 'Truth is
pathless land, there is no path'. 
There are reasons why current officers in TS respect Krishnamurti.
First reason is Radha is promoting K and his teaching. And there was
indirect warning which officers under her understood. This warning was
 'I (Radha) is head of the ES and TS. If you want to hold high posts,
you do what I say. I say that you study Krishnamurti and promote his
teaching, whether you like it or not'. Officers in TS know this
Radha's hidden language and they do what she says because of
attraction of posts and some think that if ES head is telling, it is
their duty to obey the commands. 
Radha did not promote true and pure Theosophists to high posts because
they did not promote Krishnamurti. Her real motive during her
Presidency of the TS was to promote Krishnamurti's teaching. Before
becoming President of the TS, Radha was working for Krishnamurti and
was devoted to him. People might wonder if Radha was devoted to
Krishnamurti, why did she come to TS and became it's President? 
 It can be speculated that Radha became President of the TS so that
she will slowly make Theosophical Society work for Krishnamurti. It is
a kind of conspiracy, but this possibility can not be denied as we see
that Radha wants Krishnamurtian to become President of the TS. This
conspiracy can be proved because Radha herself said that she became
President of the TS because J. Krishnamurti asked her to do so. That
means J. Krishnamurti planted his follower in TS, so that he can use
TS for his purpose. 
Theosophical Society, under Annie Besant, and with it's pure
Theosophy, was a huge success because that time Krishnamurti had not
distorted teachings in TS. TS should stick to true Theosophy and  if
it does so, it will succeed.
Radha Burnier will die in few years and will get her reward for
promoting Krishnamurti's satanic teachings. John Algeo, Betty Bland
etc. are not right candidates for the Presidentship. 
There are some good Theosophical leaders in India, but Radha has
intentionally suppressed them. She does not want them to challenger
her or P. Krishna in election. But as Radha has few years, members
should remove Krishnamurtians from the TS and elect a true Theosophist
as President of the TS.
In my opinon, this new President of the TS should be from India,
because I have not seen satisfactory Theosophical talent abroad.

Best wishes.
