Hubert had been brought to Europe for a time where he met Besant, and she saw him again in Chicago in 1909 while she was there to give a public lecture, where "...she was so struck by him that she prevailed on his mother to leave her husband and bring the boy to Europe and India for special training for his marvellous destiny."(Lutyens, "Awakening", Discus p 12)

In 1906, Leadbetter had been embroiled in a scandal that forced him to resign from the society. "Mrs van Hook showed her confidence in Leadbeater by bringing Hubert to stay with him near Dresden in the summer of 1907.  It was then that Mrs. Besant met Hubert for the first time."(Lutyens, "Awakening", Discus p 19)

Leadbetter, between the end of April and June of 1909, discovered Krishnamurti. (Lutyens, "Awakening", Discus p22) This "discovery" created a bit of a problem over the conflicting claims. Hubert's mother had left her husband, bringing Hubert to the Theosophical Headquarters at Adyar, India "...full of expectations...that Hubert was to be trained as the vehicle for the Lord Maitreya". (Lutyens, "Awakening", Discus p 26) "After Krishna was found, Hubert was soon to be dropped."(Lutyens, "Awakening", Discus p 12)
