Narasimha Rao Headquarters: ADYAR, CHENNAI (MADRAS) 600 020, INDIA Vice-President: [email protected] Secretary: [email protected] Treasurer: [email protected] Adyar Library and Research Centre: [email protected] Theosophical Publishing House: [email protected] & [email protected] Editorial Office: [email protected], Website: http://www.ts-adyar.org The Theosophical Society is composed of students, belonging to any religion in the world or to none, who are united by their approval of the Society’s Objects, by their wish to remove religious antagonisms and to draw together men of goodwill, whatsoever their religious opinions, and by their desire to study religious truths and to share the results of their studies with others. Their bond of union is not the profession of a common belief, but a common search and aspiration for Truth. They hold that Truth should be sought by study, by reflection, by purity of life, by devotion to high ideals, and they regard Truth as a prize to be striven for, not as a dogma to be imposed by authority. They consider that belief should be the result of individual study or intuition, and not its antecedent, and should rest on knowledge, not on assertion. They extend tolerance to all, even to the intolerant, not as a privilege they bestow but as a duty they perform, and they seek to remove ignorance, not punish it. They see every religion as an expression of the Divine Wisdom and prefer its study to its condemnation, and its practice to proselytism. Peace is their watchword, as Truth is their aim. Theosophy is the body of truths which forms the basis of all religions, and which cannot be claimed as the exclusive possession of any. It offers a philosophy which renders life intelligible, and which demonstrates the justice and the love which guide its evolution. It puts death in its rightful place, as a recurring incident in an endless life, opening the gateway to a fuller and more radiant existence. It restores to the world the Science of the Spirit, teaching man to know the Spirit as himself and the mind and body as his servants. It illuminates the scriptures and doctrines of religions by unveiling their hidden meanings, and thus justifying them at the bar of intelligence, as they are ever justified in the eyes of intuition. Members of the Theosophical Society study these truths, and theosophists endeavour to live them. Everyone willing to study, to be tolerant, to aim high, and to work perseveringly, is welcomed as a member, and it rests with the member to become a true theosophist. 4 The Theosophist The Vegetarian Ethic: Its Effect on Inner Health The Vegetarian Ethic: Its Effect on Inner Health TIM BOYD I AM not an expert on the subject of adopting a vegetarian diet that I began vegetarian diet.

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-84382-9 — Deceptive Majority Joel Lee Frontmatter More Information Deceptive Majority How did it come to be common sense that the vast swath of the population of South Asia once known as ‘untouchable’ are and always have been Hindu? Grounded in detailed archival and ethnographic research, Deceptive Majority unearths evidence that well before the emergence of twentieth century movements for Dalit liberation, the subset of ‘untouchable’ castes engaged in sanitation labor in colonial India conceived of themselves as constituting a religious community (qaum) separate from both Hindus and Muslims—a community with its own prophet, shrines, rites, legends, and liturgical songs. This book tracks the career of this tradition alongside the effort to encompass it within a newly imagined Hindu body politic—a majoritarian project advanced in complex, distinct, yet convergent ways by colonial administrators, Hindu nationalists, the Congress Party, and Mohandas Gandhi. A sensitive account of contemporary religious life in the north Indian city of Lucknow illuminates both the embrace and the contestation of Hinduization within a Dalit community. A weaving together of the history and ethnography of religion, Deceptive Majority reveals the cunning both of the architects of Hindu majoritarianism and of those who quietly undermine it.

In his Science of the Emotions, Bhagavan Das undertakes a bold and incisive study of the continuum of Desire-Thought-Action, where he demonstrates elegantly and unambiguously that “emotions” and “feelings,” mostly mixed and lumped together by the ignoramus, are none other than the workings of this mysterious triplet. Having recognised that mastership of the mind’s pendular māyāvic movements swinging back and forth the Centre of Being is prerequisite to success, in whatever domain it chooses to focus upon, Das traces the nature of Desire, its relation to the principal e-motions and their sub-divisions, and proceeds unravelling the aetiology of attitudes and their implications for behaviour.

  • THEOSOPHICAL GLOSSARY” & Related Material: a Chronology
    H.P.B.’s “THEOSOPHICAL GLOSSARY” & Related Material: A Chronology Compiled and edited by Daniel H. Caldwell The Blavatsky Study Center http://hpb.cc ------------------------ OCTOBER, 1888 Volume One of H. P. Blavatsky's Secret Doctrine is published in London. On the last page of the "Table of Contents" (p. xvi), one finds at the bottom of the page this printed note: "N.B.---The Index and Glossary will be found at the close of Volume II." When Volume Two of The Secret Doctrine comes off the press toward the end of 1888, this volume does NOT contain the promised Glossary of Terms. ---------------------- JANUARY 11, 1889 William Q. Judge in New York replies as follows to an inquiry from C. H. Whitaker about why the promised Glossary was missing from Volume Two: "Dear Sir, I cannot throw light on the matter of the glossary. Perhaps it was found [by H.P.B.] to be too great a work and too much for the expense. I think it will be gotten out [at some point in the future]...." "...personally I think it was too much to offer a glossary with the Secret Doctrine. A real Glossary would involve 3 vols more." Quoted from: Judge, William Q. Practical Occultism: From the Private Letters of William Q. Judge. Pasadena, California: Theosophical University Press, 1951. --------------------- NOVEMBER 1890 (early) H. P.

  • Civics National Civilian Awards
    National Civilian Awards Bharat Ratna Bharat Ratna (Jewel of India) is the highest civilian award of the Republic of India. Instituted on 2 January 1954, the award is conferred "in recognition of exceptional service/performance of the highest order", without distinction of race, occupation, position, or sex. The award was originally limited to achievements in the arts, literature, science and public services but the government expanded the criteria to include "any field of human endeavour" in December 2011. Recommendations for the Bharat Ratna are made by the Prime Minister to the President, with a maximum of three nominees being awarded per year. Recipients receive a Sanad (certificate) signed by the President and a peepal-leaf–shaped medallion. There is no monetary grant associated with the award. The first recipients of the Bharat Ratna were politician C. Rajagopalachari, scientist C. V. Raman and philosopher Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who were honoured in 1954. Since then, the award has been bestowed on 45 individuals including 12 who were awarded posthumously. In 1966, former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri became the first individual to be honoured posthumously. In 2013, cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, aged 40, became the youngest recipient of the award. Though usually conferred on Indian citizens, the Bharat Ratna has been awarded to one naturalised citizen, Mother Teresa in 1980, and to two non-Indians, Pakistan national Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan in 1987 and former South African President Nelson Mandela in 1990. Most recently, Indian government has announced the award to freedom fighter Madan Mohan Malaviya (posthumously) and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on 24 December 2014.
