NEW MESSIAH COMMANDS

STAR OF EAST ORDER TO DISSOLVE | YOUNG PROPHET’S EDICT I (Australian and N.Z. Press Association.) I Reed. 1.50 p.m. LONDON, Monday. | Mrs. Annie Besant. whose path with | Krishnamurti, “the New Messiah,” has I not been without its pitfalls, has | bowed to a dramatic announcement | by the young: prophet at the national congress in Holland that the order of the Star of the East must henceforth be dissolved. Krishnamurti said: “Religious philosophers need no organisation, yet its members are unwilling to face the truth. What, then, is the use of the organisation V’ Mrs. Besant announces: “Considering Krishnamurti’s viewpoint, dissolution of the Order appears to be the logical step. Various trusts will carry out the publication of Krishnamurti's writings, and will bring its message to the world. That message is only partly understood at present; but it contains profound truths, and will be more fully appreciated as humanity evolves. My fundamental belief in Krishnamurti as the world teacher makes me more inclined to observe and study than pronounce an opinion on one whom I consider to be by far my superior/* Mr. George Lansbury, after a visit to the camp of the Star of the East, state<Ji —“Krishnamurti’s declaration is just -what was expected. He represents the new thought of our time, and refuses to organise either mental or moral crutches for mankind. I rejoice that Krishnamurti has broken the bondage of mere organisation, relying solely on the truth of his teachings to appeal to mankind.”
