Above passages from Annie Besant show that Lord Maitreya wanted to
work through the chosen Apostles mentioned above. J. Krishnamurti
taught exactly opposite of Apostleship, Masters etc. and never worked
through those Apostles. This contrast between Besant's announcements
and Krishnamurti's teaching proves that Krishnamurti failed and was
not carrying the message of the Lord.
 Note the last sentence "Whatever the effect,.." It shows Annie Besant
was uncertain about the result. This uncertainty was perhaps because
Besant was doubtful whether J. Krishnamurti will be able to deliver
the message properly or not. And her doubt proved true as J.
Krishnamurti failed.
