Theos-Talk Archives (February 1998 Message tt00210)

Dear theosophists,


     Relations between International Theosophical Society (TS) and New
Acropolis (NA) present very interesting part of the exciting and
controversal history of the modern theosophical movements.

I found this reference (translation: unknown->Croatian->English).

     H. van der Hecht (vice-president of Federation of TS in Europe),
     To all general secretars of TS in Europe. Brilliant imitation of
     TS ... but danger trap: 'New Acropolis', April/May 1984.

>From that reference, cited from [1], with same translation:

    '...what is connected with ambitions of the organization to gain
    political strenght with black uniforms and nazist salutations...
    It is requested from the members not to be friends with other
    people.. some members of NA may be trained and married with purpose
    <to spread NA in other countries>... It is obvious that ex members
    of NA are frightened. Members of NA tries to stop them in other
    activities. '

     This is just a small part of the part of the letter published in
Grakalic's book. I could translate whole part, but I'm sure some of you
have, or is able to find the source. Eldon B Tucker <eldon@theosophy.com>,
great thanks for Trampuz's letter. Also, it will be nice if some members
of ex-members of NA from this list would like to write more of their
impressions, especially about split in the NA. If some of you know about
this -non public- teachings of NA, it will be nice to inform us.
