Title: De Orde van de Ster in het Oosten, hare beteekenis en hare verhouding tot de huidige wereldgebeurtenissen.
Description: Amsterdam, Duwaer & Van Ginkel, 1915, 15pp. original softcover binding. The Order of the Star in the East (OSE) was an international organisation based at Benares (Varanasi), India, from 1911 to 1927. It was established by the leadership of the Theosophical Society at Adyar, Madras (Chennai), in order to prepare the world for the arrival of a reputed messianic entity, the World Teacher or Maitreya. The OSE acquired members worldwide as it expanded in many countries; a third of its diverse membership c. 1926 was unaffiliated with the Theosophical Society. The precursor of the OSE was the Order of the Rising Sun (1910-11, also at Benares) and the successor was the Order of the Star (1927-29, based at Ommen, the Netherlands).
