Some may find the following extracts written by
H.P. Blavatky of some interest and food for
thought:

"It is pure nonsense to say that 'H.P.B. . . . is 
loyal to the Theosophical Society and to Adyar'(!?). 
H.P.B. is loyal to death to the Theosophical CAUSE, 
and those great Teachers whose philosophy can alone 
bind the whole of Humanity into one Brotherhood. 
Together with Col. Olcott, she is the chief Founder 
and Builder of the Society which was and is meant 
to represent that CAUSE; and if she is so loyal to 
H. S. Olcott, it is not at all because of his 
being its 'President,' but, firstly, because 
there is no man living who has worked harder for 
that Society, or been more devoted to it than the 
Colonel, and, secondly, because she regards him 
as a loyal friend and co-worker. Therefore the 
degree of her sympathies with the 'Theosophical 
Society and Adyar' depends upon the degree of 
the loyalty of that Society to the CAUSE. Let 
it break away from the original lines and show 
disloyalty in its policy to the CAUSE and the 
original programme of the Society, and H.P.B., 
calling the T. S. disloyal, will shake it off 
like dust from her feet.

And what does 'loyalty to Adyar' mean, in the name of all wonders? 
What is Adyar, apart from that CAUSE and the two (not one Founder, 
if you please) who represent it? Why not loyal to the compound or 
the bath-room of Adyar? Adyar is the present Headquarters of the 
Society, because these 'Headquarters are wherever the President is,' 
as stated in the rules. To be logical, the Fellows of the T. S. had 
to be loyal to Japan while Col. Olcott was there, and to London 
during his presence here. There is no longer a 'Parent Society'; it 
is abolished and replaced by an aggregate body of Theosophical 
Societies, all autonomous, as are the States of America, and all 
under one Head President, who, together with H. P. Blavatsky, will 
champion the CAUSE against the whole world. Such is the real state 
of things."
