Star in the East: Krishnamurti, the Invention of a Messiah
Vernon offers a compelling account of the legendary Krishnamurti, groomed from childhood as the Theosophical Society’s messiah and spiritual savior of the world. With penetrating analysis, the author sifts through controversies surrounding Krishna’s tutelage under theosophical leaders Annie Besant and Charles Leadbeater, who initiated the transformation of a shy and apathetic boy into a dynamic and spiritual genius. This is a must-read biography of Krishnamurti’s life.
