Theos-Talk Archives (January 2005 Message tt00943)

Jinarajadasa was one of CWL's closest students and was part of the most 
inner groups in the TS. He was present during CWL's and AB's clairvoyant 
investigations and took notes. He became International President after 
Arundale, and also the Outer Head of the ES. He was very interested in 
Theosophical history, and thanks to him, many important documents were 
published which may have otherwise never been known. For me, 
Jinarajadasa's historical writings are of greatest value because they 
give us so much insight into the history of the TS. His Letters from 
the Masters of Wisdom, published in two volumes, has Mahatma letters in 
the Adyar archives which are not in the Mahatma Letters to A.P. Sinnett. 
Jinarajadasa's formal Theosophical teachings are closely aligned to 
CWL's. His book First Principles of Theosophy is so filled with 
scientific errors of fact, that the British Section stopped re-printing 
it many years ago.
