Krotona, Theosophy and Krishnamurti - A new book by Joseph Ross

The author, Joseph Ross has just joined our community and we all should welcome him. He is the well known author of several books on Krotona, Theosophy, Krishnamurti etc.

 

I am looking forward to reading the recent book on Krotona, Theosophy and Krishnamurti.

 

Specifically I am looking forward to its availability in a non-proprietary format such as pdf, so that it can be read on any computer device without the need to buy devices such as Kindle. This approach…

eBooks and shape of future of free publications - Golden Age is coming

eBooks and shape of future of free publications



While browsing on Internet, I was surprised to find free several theosophical publications are available on Barnes & Noble’s Nook eReader. All these free books are out of print books. The eBook phenomenon in books - both old and new - is taking off and the current attraction is the immediate download and low prices. There is a push to keep the prices low to attract larger readership by keeping the royalties higher at lower selling… Continue

Publications in Digital Medium

How do we make materials available to all souls, rich and poor, who may be able to use them and transform themselves and thus the world?



On the one hand, we have seen spiritual publications, nicely printed and bound to last for centuries and more, but literally costing an arm and a leg so that the poor theosophist in the developing world cannot afford them.



There was no solution to this dilemma 10 - 20 years ago. But today we have one which is inexpensive and efficient -… Continue

Review of Collected Writings of Geoffrey Hodson

I have just posted on theos-talk mail list, a short review on the 2 volume book titled - Sharing the Light - which contain collected articles of Hodson, complied by John and Elizabeth Sell and Edited by Roselmo Z Doval Santos, well known theosophists in NZ.



The books contain 402 articles Hodson has written and published in official theosophical magazines of NZ, India, USA, Australia and South Africa. Articles go as far back as… Continue

Comments on Jerry Hejka-Ekins's Intro to The Path collection

A pseudonymous author has in another Internet forum questioned certain dates in Jerry' intro. Theosophical circle is small and most of the active players know each other, at least on the Internet. Surely the man or woman who has been hiding under assumed name is someone we all know or even possibly is one of the members here.

 

If there are factual errors, why the writer did not choose to contact Jerry directly so that…

Out of print theosophical books - A simple solution

 The uploading of early Theosophists, Lucifer and The Path demonstrated what is doable by a handful of dedicated theosophists. Further, out of box thinking, brought me to the subject of out of print theosophical books. Using KISS and non-organizational and non-business approach, here is my loud thinking.

Helping the Dying - Book by Nelda Samarel

I just found out that the book - Helping the Dying by Nelda Samarel is available for download from the following link. My only wonder is why not much publicity has been given using Internet resources such as this website and www.theosophy.net, because most may not have even heard about TOS website.



Here is the link -… Continue

Theosophist Magazine 1879-1885 Scanned and Posted to Cyberspace

The volumes scanned and made available due to the labors of dedicated theosophists contain very valuable information which many will find it interesting and useful. But for Internet, it would have been almost inaccessible for ordinary readers. Now the task is for the masses to get to know about it. Most of us use search engines to find information and hence I expect most readers will come to the site from searches. In the meanwhile, let each one of us spread the word.

Two recently published theosophical books

Katinka, in her blog, brought attention to the two theosophical books published in 2010; one by Joy Mills on ML and the other SD Commentaries.



It is a pity that neither is cheap and especially the Commentaries are very pricey and out of reach of most middle class theosophists especially in the third world.



The decision makers could have simply made an electronic edition available on Internet. All books, these days are first created in electronic media and then only it is…

Theosophical books out 2010

2010 has proven itself an interesting year when it comes to new literature for the classic theosophy theosophist - aka the Blavatsky and Mahatmas fan.

First we had Reflections on an Ageless Wisdom, by Joy Mills - which is an excellent commentary on the Chronological Mahatma letters.

And now we have…

Why TS/TSA should make electronic versions of publications available for free?

Why TS/TSA should make electronic versions of publications available for free?



The current situation regarding electronic version of SD Commentaries (SDC) has brought focus on the need for the publications to be made available as pdf files.



In the case of SDC, due to the pricey hard copy publication, someone has taken the trouble to scan it to a pdf file and make it available on Internet. Since the copyright holder objected to it, it was removed from the website. But in the… Continue

Converstion of hard copies to electronic medium

Many times we may like to convert hard copies to electronic medium by scanning them. Theosophists world-wide are a minuscule in numbers and many are acquainted with each other. With the scanners becoming inexpensive, there would be an urge to convert hard copies of documents to a pdf file. However, we want to avoid re-inventing the wheel by trying to scan hard copy books and periodicals wasting time and labor. Anytime, we are embarking on a scanning project, it would be a good idea to inquire… Continue

TS is 135 years old today

Erica reminded everyone on theos-talk that TS is 135 years old today.

It is remarkable that we are now talking to a world-wide audience almost with the speed of light.

Theosophy has indeed affected almost everyone who came into contact with it.

Modern communication technology is going to make theosophy reach millions in days to come.

May the "Forlorn Hope" become reality, at least partially in the days to come.

NZ Theosophy Ning Site going off-line

I just learnt that the NZ Ning site may be going off-line in the

next few days. To some it may be a loss. However, it is really not so.



Due to the international character of Internet based forums, any

theosophist can interact with others around the world in such open

independent forums as theos-talk and theosnet ning site. Also these

forums are daily attracting users from around the world as they are (1)

open and not closed and (2) not controlled by any… Continue
