Theos-Talk Archives (February 2009 Message tt00129)

Anand: Sorry if I wrote aggressively to you. I just can't understand 
your innocent attitude towards Besant and Leadbeater and your mocking 
at Krishnamurti. I think AB and CWL were and are important people in 
spreading and introducing theosophy, but I also think that we should 
use our discrimination skill. I am not "Krishnamurtian", but I 
respect his teachings much and via that also N. Sri Ram and Radha.

Don't you guys read "The Theosophist"? Dara Tatray wrote an article 
as an answer to this "pathless land" question. See "Is there a `Way 
of Theosophy'?", The Theosophist, May 2007. She even quoted there the 
same "There's a Road?" poem by HPB which is quoted by you, Anand, in 
your message below.

Btw, I am a "he".
