 | | Annie Besant died in 1933 and was survived by her daughter, Mabel. | | | This was a clear reversal of policy from Blavatsky and Olcott's very public conversion to Buddhism in Ceylon, and their promotion of Buddhist revival activities on the subcontinent (see also: Maha Bodhi Society). | | | Annie Besant's Quest for Truth: Christianity, Secularism, and New Age Thought |

| | Alpheus--Annie Besant's Quest for Truth |
| | Indeed, the most interesting feature of Besant's attempt to harmonise the gospels is not, as she later implied, the anticipation of her future secularism, so much as the indication of her belief in the absolute truth of the Bible. | | | When Besant ceased to judge her beliefs in terms of revealed religion, she elevated truth into an almost religious ideal to be put before all other considerations. | | | As she explained, 'if there be one life, one consciousness, if in every form God be immanent, then all forms are interlinked with one another', 'that is the inevitable corollary of the Immanence of God, and that is Solidarity, that is universal Brotherhood'. |

| | In the late 1920s Besant travelled to the United States with her protégé and adopted son Jiddu Krishnamurti, whom she claimed was the new Messiah and incarnation of Buddha. | | | Social and political reform seems not to have satisfied Besant's hunger for some all-embracing truth to replace the religion of her youth. | | | As a member and later leader of the Theosophical Society, Besant helped to spread Theosophical beliefs around the world, notably in India. |

| | Dobra on Besant |
| | Besant comes back over and over in her theosophical writings to the idea of "universal brotherhood" and the spiritual obligation of service. | | | Not only was she an educator in the formal sense--her Central Hindu College in Benares was lauded as having an important role in the revival movement of true Hinduism and the "regeneration of India" from colonial Anglocism and she wrote a series of textbooks with respected Sanskritist Dr. | | | She founded a college which later became the nucleus of the Hindu University; she spread Theosophy to its height of more than 45,000 members on five continents (Campbell 128); and she was instrumental in the education and patronage of the spiritual teacher Jiddu Krishnamurti. |

| | All along, in both her Autobiographical Sketches (1885) and An Autobiography (1893), Besant had been noting and underscoring, with increasing self-insight and audience awareness, the underlying logic of her social and spiritual evolution. | | | "Annie Besant and Issues in Contemporary Feminist Spirituality” Quest 10.1 (1997): 26 -33, and 10.2 (1997): 42 -49, 51. | | | Ignoring (or perhaps unaware of) the accounts published by all three participants, he insisted on attacking Stead as "a complete Philistine" and casting himself in the rescuing role that Besant had earlier played for him. |

| | The Canon Reconsidered and Annie Besant's Marginality |
| | So when I re-consider the canon, Annie Besant (1847-1933) may certainly be regarded as one of the first authors who come to our mind, for her work illustrates women's criticism at the turn of the century. | | | Besides being a theosophist in later life, Annie Besant was a "scandalous woman" who left her clergyman husband and decided to preach freethought and feminism. | | | Victorian essayists and their cultural links to the twentieth century have been for many years my field of research. |

| | While we think Annie Besant errer considerably and misdirected the Theosophical movement in her later years, introducing what we would call - Besantism, her early work was in line with the Theosophy of Blavatsky. | | | It would be impossible to doubt her honesty, her dedication to humanity--the poor, the social underdog--and her almost messianic belief that self-sacrifice and adherence to the "right way" would lead to a golden age. | | | She was known for her brilliance, for her oratorial skill and her capacity to inspire others. |
