  • Theosophy and the Origins of the Indian National Congress
    THEOSOPHY AND THE ORIGINS OF THE INDIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS By Mark Bevir Department of Political Science University of California, Berkeley Berkeley CA 94720 USA [E-mail: [email protected]] ABSTRACT A study of the role of theosophy in the formation of the Indian National Congress enhances our understanding of the relationship between neo-Hinduism and political nationalism. Theosophy, and neo-Hinduism more generally, provided western-educated Hindus with a discourse within which to develop their political aspirations in a way that met western notions of legitimacy. It gave them confidence in themselves, experience of organisation, and clear intellectual commitments, and it brought them together with liberal Britons within an all-India framework. It provided the background against which A. O. Hume worked with younger nationalists to found the Congress. KEYWORDS: Blavatsky, Hinduism, A. O. Hume, India, nationalism, theosophy. 2 REFERENCES CITED Archives of the Theosophical Society, Theosophical Society, Adyar, Madras. Banerjea, Surendranath. 1925.

  • Theosophy and Science
    Theosophy and Science Science and Mysticism The motto of the Theosophical Society is “There is no religion higher than Truth.” That is a statement to which a scientist can subscribe equally well. Theosophists and scientists are indeed both engaged in a search for Truth. However, scientists seek for truth at the outward physical level, whereas Theosophists are concerned with Truth at an inner and more spiritual level, as taught by the great mystics and seers throughout the ages. That deeper Truth is sometimes called the “ancient wisdom” or the “perennial philosophy.” The scientific and mystical methods of search also differ, being complementary rather than contradictory. Science does not need mysticism and mysticism does not need science, but we human beings need both. Yet many scientists, perhaps even the majority, do not see a need for any deeper Truth than those which objective scientific procedures discover. Others would like to have some involvement with religion but are discouraged by fundamentalist religious teachings that are inconsistent with well-established scientific knowledge. Nevertheless, many great scientists—Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Erwin Schrödinger, and David Bohm— have seen the need for the deeper spiritual understanding taught by the great reli- gious teachers and mystics of all ages. Scientists seek to understand the world by proposing explanations (or theories) that account for what we can observe in the physical environment around us. A theory must be adequate to account for what we observe repeatedly in experiments testing it. It should also be internally consistent and as simple as possible. A scientific theory is never “proved.” It is only tested by experiments, and if it accounts for what the experiments show, it is upheld.

  • Theosophy and the Arts
    Theosophy and the Arts Ralph Herman Abraham January 17, 2017 Abstract The cosmology of Ancient India, as transcribed by the Theosophists, con- tains innovations that greatly influenced modern Western culture. Here we bring these novel embellishments to the foreground, and explain their influ- ence on the arts. 1. Introduction Following the death of Madame Blavatsky in 1891, Annie Besant ascended to the leadership of the Theosophical Society. The literature of the post-Blavatsky period began with the very influential Thought-Forms by Besant and C. W. Leadbeater, of 1901. The cosmological model of Theosophy is similar to the classical Sanskrit of 6th century BCE. The pancha kosa, in particular, is the model for these authors. The classical pancha kosa (five sheaths or levels) are, from bottom up: physical, vital, mental, intellectual, and bliss. The related idea of the akashic record was promoted by Alfred Sinnett in his book Esoteric Buddhism of 1884. 2. The Esoteric Planes and Bodies The Sanskrit model was adapted and embellished by the early theosophists. 2-1. Sinnett Alfred Percy Sinnett (1840 { 1921) moved to India in 1879, where he was the editor of an English daily. Sinnett returned to England in 1884, where his book, Esoteric 1 Buddhism, was published that year. This was the first text on Theosophy, and was based on his correspondence with masters in India. 2-2. Blavatsky Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831 { 1891) { also known as HPB { was a Russian occultist and world traveller, While reputedly in India in the 1850s, she came under the influence of the ancient teachings of Hindu and Buddhist masters.

  • 55. SECTION Lll William Quan Judge
    55. SECTION lll William Quan Judge ….if your discretion and silence are likely to hurt or endanger others, then I add: Speak the truth at all costs, and say, with Annesly, “Consult duty, not events.” There are cases when one is forced to exclaim “Perish discretion, rather than allow it to interfere with duty.” Key to Theosophy, p. 202 Ingratitude is a crime in Occultism and I shall illustrate the point by citing the case of W.Q. Judge. He is one of the three founders of the Theosophical Society, the only three who have remained as true as rock to the cause. While others have all turned deserters or enemies, he has ever remained faithful to his original pledge……He is the Resuscitator of Theosophy in the United States, and is working to the best of his means and ability, and at a great sacrifice, for the spread of the movement……Brother Judge refuses to defend himself…But is that a reason why we should let him go undefended? It is our bounden duty to support him, in every way, with our sympathy and influence, energetically, not in a half-hearted, timid way….Is it the part of “Brother-Fellow” to remain indifferent and inactive when one who has done so much for the noble and sacred CAUSE is vilified for its sake, hence, for that of every Theosophist; when he is selected by the enemy as the mark of all the lying and damaging attacks of those who wish to destroy the Society in order to build on its ruins another, a bogus Body of the same name, and to enshrine therein an idol with feet of clay and a heart full of selfishness and evil, for the admiration and worship of credulous fools? Can we allow them to achieve this object when they seek to ensure success by undermining the character of this most unselfish champion of our T.S.

  • Major Trends in Post-Enlightenment Esotericism
    Chapter 2 Major Trends in Post-Enlightenment Esotericism The Enlightenment set into motion major societal changes that affected esotericism just as it did a large number of other areas. In Chapter 7 I will go into more detail regarding sociological research concerning the consequences of these changes, but here a cursory discussion of some of the more specific implications for esotericism in general will suffice. Wouter Hanegraaff has highlighted four principal transformations:1 an adaptation to the ideals of rea- son and rationality; a growing influence from non-Western cultures and non-Christian religions, much influenced by the emerging study of religions; the adoption of an evolutionary paradigm to spiritual development; and the re-interpretation of esoteric notions in psychological framesets, in what Hanegraaff calls ‘the psychologization of religion and sacralization of psychol- ogy’.2 All these developments can be directly attributed to emerging hegemony of secularism, through which (conventional) religion was posited as antiquated and belonging to more primitive stages of cultural development. Consequently, esoteric actors attempted to aligne their teachings, practices, rhetoric, and vocabulary more closely to the ‘new scientific worldview’, and the earlier organic model of correspondences was more or less replaced by mechanistic models focused on instrumental causality.3 However, the Enlightenment ethos was not anti-religious per se. It involved a strong faith in the possibility, and indeed inevitability, of obtaining perfect knowledge about the world through reason, rationality, and recourse to essentially unchanging and absolute natural laws. The critique of religion was primarily directed towards the dominant reli- gious institutions of Western society, i.e.

  • Morya, One of the "Masters of the Ancient Wisdom" Spoken of in Modern Theosophy and in the Ascended Master Teachings I
    Morya, one of the "Masters of the Ancient Wisdom" spoken of in modern Theosophy and in the Ascended Master Teachings is considered one of the "Ascended Masters." He is also known as the "Chohan of the First Ray". Morya first became known to the modern world when H. P. Blavatsky declared that he and Kkuthumi were her guides in establishing the Theosophical Society. Seven Rays Blavatsky wrote that Masters Morya and Koot Hoomi belonged to a group of highly developed humans known as the Great White Brotherhood. Although Master Morya's personality has been depicted in some detail by various theosophical authors, critics point out that there is little evidence that Blavatsky's Masters, including Morya, ever existed. There being a dearth of material evidence to prove anything with certainty, this article focuses on presenting the narratives about Morya given by various believers in his existence, beginning from the time of his alleged contacts with 19th-century theosophists. Morya Khan is known in many New Age religions as the Ascended Master of the Blue Ray or First Ray. He is well known as the 'Master M' who worked with the Kuthumi in the late nineteenth century to establish the Theosophical Society and to spread the knowledge of higher truths to a wider circle among mankind. After his alleged ascension in the late 1800s, he continued working for this same purpose. He is believed to have ascended in 1898. http://www.crystalinks.com/morya.html אל מוריה الموريا Ελ Μόρυα 天使のエル·モリヤ http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/chain_of_flowers723/56856858.html Morya (Theosophy) For other uses, see Morya.

  • The Origin of the Knowledge and the Fictions
    3 THE ORIGIN OF THE KNOWLEDGE AND THE FICTIONS 3.1 From the Esoteric History 1The questions of how solar systems come into being, how our solar system and our planet were formed, how life evolved on our planet, are passed over. Those interested can study these matters in the existing esoteric literature. The following outline will afford a few facts about mankind’s consciousness development on our planet during the current aeon. The information given will be confined to what is essential to know in order to understand the origin of the knowledge and how this knowledge, which is the heritage of mankind, has come to be replaced with the fictions of ignorance. Of the history of mankind we shall only deal with points necessary to understand the contemporary situation as far as the knowledge is concerned. That is more important than all history. Mankind is groping its way in darkness towards an unknown goal, and its disorientation in life could scarcely be greater. The purpose is to offer to seekers Ariadne’s thread to guide them out of the labyrinth of the ignorance of life. Probably, the only ones interested will be those who have the esoteric knowledge latently in their subconsciousness from previous incarnations. The others will cling, as they have always done, to the “authorities” of the day to public opinion in science, philosophy, or religion. That, to be sure, is safest. 2Mankind consists in all of some 60 thousand million individuals in the physical, emotional, mental, and causal worlds of our planet. Of these, some 24 billion causalized (transmigrated from the animal to the human kingdom by acquiring causal envelopes of their own) in Lemuria beginning in the year 21.686.420 B.C.
