Anand, you wrote:

"According to A.P. Sinnett H.P. Blavatsky 
screwed up Theosophy."

Master K.H. in his August 1888 letter 
to Henry S. Olcott wrote:

"I have also noted, your thoughts about 
the 'Secret Doctrine.' Be assured that what 
she [HPB] has not annotated from scientific 
and other works, we have given or suggested 
to her. Every mistake or erroneous notion, 
corrected and explained by her from the works 
of other theosophists was corrected by me, or 
under my instruction. It is a more valuable 
work than its predecessor, an epitome of occult 
truths that will make it a source of information 
and instruction for the earnest student for
long years to come. . . ." Letters from the 
Masters of the Wisdom, Series I, p. 47 

The Master K.H. is referring in particular
to Sinnett's book ESOTERIC BUDDHISM.

And K.H.'s correction on the Mars and
Mercury mistake by Sinnett can be
found in THE SECRET DOCTRINE.

Notice what Madame Blavatsky wrote:

"When the present work was commenced, the writer [H.P. Blavatsky 
herself] , feeling sure that the speculation about Mars and Mercury 
was a mistake, applied to the Teachers [the Mahatmas] by letter for 
explanation and an authoritative version. Both came in due time, and 
verbatim extracts from these are now given." 

Anand, it would appear that you are
ignoring what K.H. has written both in
his letter to Olcott and well as the letters
from the Masters quoted in THE SECRET DOCTRINE. 
Why?
