'''Hubert van Hook''' (1896-) Born in 1896, the son of Dr Weller van Hook, a surgeon in Chicago, and the General Secretary of the Theosophical Society in the United States. Hubert was selected by Leadbetter "...while on a lecture tour of American a few years before..." (Lutyens, "Amakening", Discus p 12) as the vehicle for the coming World Teacher, called Lord Maitreya by the Theosophists. Leadbetter later discovered Krishnamurti. This "discovery" created a bit of a problem over the conflicting claims. Hubert's mother left his father and brought Hubert to India for special training. After Krishna was found, Hubert was soon dropped."(Lutyens, "Awakening", Discus p 12) Another such accusation came later from [[Hubert van Hook]] of Chicago, who as an 11-year-old was proclaimed by Leadbeater as future World Teacher. On the denunciation, Mary Lutyens states: "Hubert later swore to Mrs Besant that Leadbeater had 'misused' him, but as he was extremely vindictive by that time, his testimony, though unshaken, was perhaps not altogether reliable.' (Mary Lutyens, p 45n) ==Sources== *Mary Lutyens, ''[[Krishnamurti: The Years of Awakening]]'', London: John Murray, 1975. (This volume covers 1895 to 1935.)
