When any new member arrived librarian used to place catalogue of 
these 7000 books in his hands. So people could not know what exactly 
to read. So I created a pamphlet which describes in short what 
Theosophy is and on the back is given list of important Theosophical 
books with recommended sequence of reading. I took back-to-back 
photocopies of this pamphlet and distributed it among members. Also I 
gave some fifty photocopies to librarian and told him to give one 
pamphlet to any new person. 
> This pamphlet made wonders. They read in that sequence and told 
me that they liked them much and went on studying. So I am giving 
below that pamphlet. You may add address etc., see that it fits on 
letter size paper and distribute. 
> You can also translate in other languages and distribute this 
pamphlet.
> It is very effective.
> It is also uploaded at URL

> There are thousands of people in this world who feel that there 
must be something beyond material world which they can see and 
perceive with senses. They want to know who they are. 'Am I body or 
am I soul ?' Such questions arise in the mind. What is right to do 
and what is wrong? How to decide that? What happens after death? What 
is the purpose of life and doing hundreds of things? Is there any 
possibility of relieving from continuous struggle and to establish in 
bliss and peace forever? Why bad things happen in our lives without 
any apparent fault on our part? What is fate or luck? How can we 
minimize effect of bad `luck factors' ? How to set in motion new 
causes which would make our life and that of people better and 
happier? How phenomena like telepathy, healing by Pran, working of 
thought power occur? What is the science or laws of Nature behind 
miracles? Is there God and if He is, what is His nature? How can I 
know Him by direct experience? What is true spirituality and 
consciousness? They try to find answers to these fundamental 
questions about human life. They read books on religions, perform 
ceremonies, chant names of Deities, go to temples and do many things 
to satisfy inner hunger to know truth.
> Theosophy (Divine Wisdom or Atmavidya) answers these questions 
in most logical manner in detail and in a language which modern man 
can understand. It is so comprehensive that generally one should not 
define what it is. Theosophy includes everything. Yet to give some 
idea, one can say it is the Synthesis of Spirituality, Science, 
Philosophy and Religion. 
> Most part of Theosophical literature is written by highly evolved 
Yogis after careful observation of their own direct experiences and 
investigation of laws of nature. Number of principles given by them 
through Theosophy are proved by scientists. 
> It not only satisfies seekers of truth but also solves problems 
in our daily life if one studies principles and lives them. 
> Theosophy is not difficult to understand if one takes easier 
books first and then goes to more comprehensive works. That is why a 
list with recommended sequence of reading is given at the back of 
this page so that reader, beginner as well as advanced, would 
understand important principles quickly and easily.
