Theos-Talk Archives (June 1998 Message tt00385)

June 16th

Three years ago we had started a program of translating HPB and
Judge into Italian and later into Spanish.  This latter came
about as a result of inquiries that we received from some Spanish
bilingual students we had who wanted to invite their families and
friends to come to the lodge and discuss or learn about
Theosophy.

This has grown and grown and we find that there is an interested
and anxious group asking for information.  As a result we have
launched into publishing those books in Spanish, or Italian which
had not hitherto been available.

The enthusiasm and response is very encouraging.

The bi-lingual programs are also held once a month or so, so that
the linguistic barrier gradually disappears.  But as there are
always a number of new comers, the all Spanish classes continue
with great enthusiasm.

And that's the story.  Same at New York ULT.  There is interest
arising everywhere -- a general and rising current can be sensed,
as the cycle begins to revolve  for the 2nd century after HPB
gave us Their message.

Best wishes to you as always,        Dallas

 PS:  Translation work in Dutch, French, Swedish, German,
Russian, Hindustani, Punjabi, Kanarese, Tamil, Gujerati, Bengali
and Marathi are also active and meetings are conducted in various
centers in those tongues.
