Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt01937)

Dear krishtar,

Many of us, including myself, have read a lot of books by both Annie Besant 
and CWL and have journeyed through our further reading of other important 
materials such as SD, ISIS and ML. Traditionally those, like me, who grew 
up with people who were active in TS(Adyar) naturally were introduced to 
Annie Besant and CWL's works and not much encouraged to read SD. However, 
when I saw the website listing of theosophy books, one wonders if a rookie 
engrossed in the TS(Adyar) atmosphere just was not aware of the key works 
such as SD and Isis or someone higher up decided not to list them in the 
list. In either case, I think someone higher up has the responsibility - 
responsibility cannot be delegated - authority can be!
