Eight page Daily Bulletin for the second day of the Convention is on the

Adyar website and is informative and would be welcomed by everyone.



It contains summaries of talks by:



Linda Oliveira

John Vorstermans

S Sundaram

R C Tampi

Chong Sanne



There is also a list of General Secretaries and representatives attending

the convention. The attendance this year is much better than last year

(especially from the West) and we will…

The 135th International Convention at Adyar will commence tomorrow. A

visit to the Adyar website gave me a surprise. Daily Bulletins in pdf 



format for each day is indicated. So you can visit each day and see the

bulletin and know the highlights of the day. This is a small step in 

providing info on the happenings on a daily basis. I hope, next year,

Adyar resorts to live streaming of the programs, which will bring 



membership in closer contact…

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.

As usual, the International Convention will start on December 26, 2010 in

Adyar. Here is the tentative program I found on Adyar Website. What is

significant is that the General Council Meeting schedule is also included.

If anyone with a computer is attending the Convention, it would be very

informative if a daily - one…

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…
