Just learnt that Joseph Ross has released Vol 6 of Krotona Series. Deals with years after 1931. Yet to see the book. Just ordered it from Amazon. Also a Kindle edition is available.

In a recent blog Dr. Ramanujachari drew attention to a letter T Subba Rao, well known theosophist, wrote to HPB on the topic of Occult School of South India and Trans Himalayan one. While few of the Adepts of both traditions are known to the public, thanks to the writings of theosophical authors, a basic question that we may want to inquire is this - Surely there should be ‘other’ traditions from other parts of the world such as the China, Americas, Europe, Middle East and Africa.…

EO in his foot note on last page of the Eliphas Levi’s Paradoxes of the Highest Science says:



Let your exact science, so proud of her achievements and discoveries, remember that the grandest hypotheses - I mean those that have now become facts and undeniable truths - have all been guessed, were the results of spontaneous inspiration (or intuition) - never those of…

In all online forums, frequently we come across long posts. Indeed it is understandable that complex ideas and situations need explanations which tend to end up as a long post.



Many who browse forums as well as on maillists, have limited amount of time to read and review posts and emails of interest. This is simply a factual matter since many have daytime jobs and they spend time on Internet after hours. Many tend to ignore long posts due to time constraints.

The work done by theosophists in India on the social aspects had immense effect on how theosophists and Theosophical Society is viewed in India. Many theosophists were involved not in speculation of what is going on in unseen world and occult side of things, but were active in improving the conditions of the masses.

Theosophy Network is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization, and hence all donations are tax deductible

One of the things that baffles newbees as well as long-time students of theosophy, is the confused definitions of theosophy. When one tries to discuss or debate the subject, we may end up parting with deep disagreements because each one of us may have been introduced to theosophy by various lineages, each clinging to certain viewpoints. HPB seems to have forseen this problem and addressed this to the second annual convention of the American Section. She stated:

In the early theosophical literature, there are many references to cycles and how entire universe is governed by cycles. I just ran into one of the most interesting articles about cycles. Here is the link. Some of you may enjoy it.

I have uploaded two videos from Youtube. How can I make the video shows up in the frame instead of Youtube logo? Need tech help!!!!

A new book titled The Theosophical Society: The History of a Spiritual Movement has been published by Jeffrey D Lavoie. First 25 pages can be found here.



While I have not had a chance to access the full book, it appears that it is a well researched publication and hence anyone interested in the history of TS should read it.



Something that is to be noticed is the author’s acknowledgement of the…

Acrobat PDF is the digital format most widely used for storage and distribution of books, publications and other documents. It can be displayed and printed in all operating systems.

When a pdf file is created either out of a program such as Word or output by a scanner they can be very large.  It is highly desirable to reduce the size of the pdf file as well as make it compatible with earlier versions of Acrobat Reader. The current version of full Acrobat program has an option to…
