  • A Birthday Book of Precepts and Axioms
    Helena Petrovna Blavatsky Gems from the East A Birthday Book of Precepts and Axioms Gems from the East.docm v. 98.17, www.philaletheians.co.uk, 23 February 2021 Page 1 of 64 BLAVATSKY SPEAKS SERIES A BIRTHDAY BOOK OF PRECEPTS AND AXIOMS The Dew is on the lotus! — Rise, Great Sun! And lift my leaf and mix me with the wave. Om mani padme hum, the Sunrise comes! The Dewdrop slips into the shining Sea! 1 — EDWIN ARNOLD Foreword by the Series Editor Food sustains the body, desire feeds the mind, compassion-sacrifice nourishes the spirit. “The gods being nourished by worship with sacrifice, will grant you the en- joyment of your wishes,” says Krishna.2 Few have sacrificed more than Madame Blavatsky. In June 1890, having completed the monumental task of elucidating intricate correspondences between the world’s major religions and philosophies, from a hoary past to the modern day, Madame Blavatsky compiled 365 pearls of perennial wisdom under the unassuming title Gems from the East — a series of self-evident truths, one for each day of the year. This collection of axioms and precepts, doubling as a birthday book, was an astute ploy to prevent it from falling into oblivion. Yet, with a notable exception in 1948 when the Theosophical University Press in California republished Gems from the East in a beautifully illustrated pocket book, the Gems have remained out of print. A facsimile of the latter edition was subsequently included by Boris de Zirkoff in his H.P. Blavatsky Collected Writings, Vol. XII, pp. 421-76.

  • Date of Gautama Buddha's Disincarnation
    Date of Gautama Buddha’s disincarnation Date of Gautama Buddha’s disincarnation v. 18.10,, www.philaletheians.co.uk, 17 March 2018 Page 1 of 16 BUDDHAS AND INITIATES SERIES HP BLAVATSKY ON SHAKYA MUNI’S PLACE IN HISTORY Part 1. By Helena Petrovna Blavatsky From Blavatsky Collected Writings, (ENQUIRIES SUGGESTED BY SINNETT’S “ESOTERIC BUDDHISM”) Vol. V, Question VII: Philological and Archaeological “Difficulties” — Shakya Muni’s Place in History; pp. 241- 59. No Orientalist — save perhaps, the same wise, not to say deep, Prof. Weber — oppos- es more vehemently than Prof. Max Müller Hindu and Buddhist chronology. Evident- ly — if an Indophile he is not a Buddhophile, and General Cunningham — however independent otherwise in his archæological researches — agrees with him more than would seem strictly prudent in view of possible future discoveries.1 We have then to refute in our turn this great Oxford professor’s speculations. To the evidence furnished by the Purānas and the Mahāvansa — which he also finds hopelessly entangled and contradictory (though the perfect accuracy of that Sinha- lese history is most warmly acknowledged by Sir Emerson Tennent, the historian) he opposes the Greek classics and their chronology. With him, it is always “Alexander’s invasion” and “Conquest,” and “the ambassador of Seleucus Nicator — Megasthenes” — while even the faintest record of such “conquest” is conspicuously absent from Brāhmanic record; and, although in an inscription of Piyadasi are mentioned the names of Antiochus, Ptolemy, Magas, Antigonus, and even of the great Alexander himself, as vassals of the king Piyadasi, the Macedonian is yet called the “Conqueror of India.” In other words, while any casual mention of Indian affairs by a Greek writer of no great note must be accepted unchallenged, no record of the Indians, literary or monumental, is entitled to the smallest consideration.

  • Shankara Was a Contemporary of Patanjali and His Chela
    Shankara was a contemporary of Patanjali and his chela Shankara was a contemporary of Patanjali and his chela v. 17.11, www.philaletheians.co.uk, 3 April 2018 Page 1 of 20 BUDDHAS AND INITIATES SERIES SUBBA ROW ON SHANKARA’S DATE AND DOCTRINE Contents Subba Row on Shankara’s date and doctrine A question about Sri Shankaracharya’s date of birth 3 Reply by Tallapragada Subba Row Shankara was born in 510 BC, 51 years and 2 months after the date of Buddha’s nirvana. He had nothing to do with Buddhist persecution. 3 De Zirkoff on the higher sources of Subba Row’s reply Shankara was a contemporary of Patanjali and his chela v. 17.11, www.philaletheians.co.uk, 3 April 2018 Page 2 of 20 BUDDHAS AND INITIATES SERIES SUBBA ROW ON SHANKARA’S DATE AND DOCTRINE A question about Sri Shankaracharya’s date of birth1 From Blavatsky Collected Writings, (INQUIRIES SUGGESTED BY MR. SINNETT’S “ESOTERIC BUDDHISM” – QUESTION No. 8) V, p. 140. Śamkarāchārya’s date is variously given by Orientalists, but always after Christ. Barth, for instance, places him about 788 A.D. In Esoteric Buddhism he is made to succeed Buddha almost immediately.2 Can this discrepancy be ex- plained? Has not Śamkarāchārya been usually classed as Vishnuite in his teaching? And similarly has not Gaudapāda been accounted a Sivite, and placed much later than Esoteric Buddhism 3 places him? We would willingly pursue this line of inquiry, but think it best to wait and see to what extent the Adepts may be willing to clear up some of the problems in Indian religious his- tory on which, as it would seem, they must surely possess knowledge which might be communicated to lay students without indiscretion.

  • Tallapragada Subba Row 1
    NOTE SULLO HAṬHAYOGA di Tallapragada Subba Row 1 Revisione, traduzione e note di Dario Chioli Per capire l’importanza storica di questo testo, bisogna tener presente che i primi studi sul Tantra di Arthur Avalon (alias John Woodroffe) uscirono nel 1913. Generalmente si pensa che in precedenza si potessero leggere solo cose alquanto confuse o di segno negativo, e si afferma che Avalon sia sta- to il primo a presentare il Tantra all’occidente in modo competente. Tuttavia questo breve articolo fu pubblicato nel 1886, e in esso lo schema base del Kuṇḍalinīyoga è accuratamente tratteggiato, ventisette anni prima dei libri di Avalon.2 Nella presente riproduzione sono stati corretti i molti refusi, presenti in ambedue le edizioni inglesi, e si è applicata per il sanscrito la trascrizione scientifica.

From the time that the mother binds the child's head till the moment that some kind assistant wipes the death-damp from the brow of the dying, we cannot exist without mutual help. All, there­ fore, that need aid have a right to ask it from their fellow-mortals; no one who holds the power of granting can refuse it without guilt."
