>Yesterday on another Theosophical website Anand G. wrote

>A reader this morning asked Anand when were they promoted

>
>Anand answered:  "It is a secrete."

>Well I thought that it's been 9 and 10 decades ago when we learnt 
>interesting tidbits about their status as of then.

>Below are what Mr. Leadbeater and Mrs. Besant said about each other those many 
>decades ago:
>
>Mr. Leadbeater wrote this about Mrs. Besant:
>-------------------------
>"What can I say to you of your President [Annie
>Besant]  that you do not know already? Her colossal
>intellect, her unfailing wisdom, her unrivalled
>eloquence, her splendid forgetfulness of self,
>her untiring devotion of work for others - all
>these are but a small part of her greatness;
>they are on the surface, they may be seen by all,
>they leap to the eyes. But there are other qualities,
>other powers, of which you cannot know, because they
>pertain to the secrets of Initiation. She is a
>pupil of our Masters; from the fount of Their
>archaic wisdom she derives her own, the plans which
>she is carrying out are Their plans for the welfare
>of the world. THINK THEREFORE, HOW GREAT AN
>HONOUR IT IS FOR YOU that you should be permitted
>to work under her, for in doing so you are virtually
>working under Them. THINK HOW WATCHFUL YOU SHOULD
>BE TO MISS NO HINT WHICH FALLS FROM HER LIPS, to carry
>out EXACTLY whatever instructions she may give to you.
>
>Remember...there will be times when you cannot
>understand her motives, for she is taking into account
>many things which you cannot see and of which
>she must not tell you. BUT WHETHER YOU UNDERSTAND
>OR NOT, YOU WILL BE WISE TO FOLLOW HER IMPLICITLY, JUST
>BECAUSE SHE KNOWS.
>
>THIS IS NOT MERE SUPPOSITION ON MY PART, NO MERE
>FLIGHT OF THE IMAGINATION; I HAVE STOOD BESIDE YOUR
>PRESIDENT IN THE PRESENCE OF THE SUPREME DIRECTOR
>OF EVOLUTION ON THIS GLOBE, AND I KNOW WHEREOF I
>SPEAK. Let the wise hear my words, and act accordingly."
>Caps added. Adyar Album, p. 45.
>--------------------------------

>Mrs. Besant wrote the following about CWL:
>-----------------------------------
>"By hard, patient work he [C.W. Leadbeater] has won
>rewards . . . until he stands perhaps the MOST TRUSTED of his
>Master's disciples ON THE THRESHOLD OF DIVINITY."
>[The Theosophist, November 1911, p. 308 Caps added.]
>------------------------------------
>
>Mrs. Besant later said:
>----------------------------------------------------------
>"And now I have to give you, by command of the King, His message,
>and some of the messages of the Lord Maitreya and His great
>Brothers. . . what I am saying, as to matter of announcement, is
>definitely at the command of the King whom I serve.
>
>His taking possession of His chosen vehicle . . . will be soon.
>Then He will choose, as before, His twelve apostles . . . and their
>chief, the Lord Himself. He has already chosen them, but I have only
>the command to mention seven who have reached the stage of Arhatship,
>Who were the 'Arhats'?
>
>The first two, my brother Charles Leadbeater and myself, . . . C.
>Jinarajadasa, . . . George Arundale, Oscar Kollerstrom, . . . Rukmini
>Arundale....
>
>I left out one and must leave out another. Naturally, our
>Krishnaji [Jiddu Krishnamurti] was one, but he is to be the vehicle
>of the Lord. And the other is one who is very dear to all of us, as
>to the whole Brotherhood: Bishop James Wedgwood. He had borne his
>crucifixion before the seal of Arhatship was set upon him by his King.
>Those are the first seven of the twelve whom He has chosen, with
>Himself as the thirteenth. 'Ye call me Master and Lord, and ye do
>well, for so I am.'
>
>Now the wonder may come into your mind: H.P.B. was the only one
>who was really announced as the messenger of the Master. Since then
>the world has grown a good deal, and it is possible that while the
>few may be repelled, many thousands will be attracted to the
>Christ. . . . Whatever the effect, since He has said it, it is
>done. . ."
