Answer
Krishnamurti was raised to be the new World Teacher by Annie Besant and Charles Leadbeater, Theosophists who believed that he was the reincarnation of the Hindu god Maitreya. They formed the Order of the Star in the East, a group of people who believed in Krishnamurti's mission. However, Krishnamurti eventually rejected this role, and in 1929, he dissolved the Order.
