Maitreya

Maitreya is the spirit of an internationally highly anticipated World Teacher/World Leader. C. W. Leadbeater and Annie Besant groomed and promoted Jiddu Krishnamurti to be the earthly vessel or embodiment of this entity in the early 20th century. Benjamin Kreme is another who some believe to be the incarnation of this being. A group was organised by George Arundale to prepare the way, to prepare the minds of the public for this advent, which he named The Order of the Rising Sun; Besant and Leadbeater changed that name to The Order of the Star in the East when they announced Krishna as that vessel.
