Re: Theos-World Books mentioned in TS(Adyar) Website?Krishtar

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!

Dear Ramadoss

We can learn a lot about human nature observing how things are.
Anand for example is our daily example, always showing his ignorance on the works of his neo-theosophical idolsīs predecessors.
It saddens me, because I started Theosophy on CWLīs books and later I got acquainted to HPBīs books, as well AP Sinnettīs MLīs and I used to respect a lot his books as well as Besantīs, but what has really saddened me is the lack of consideration on Adyar headquartersī philosophy from that time up to now!
Little I know about the Adyar history and all its implications, but nothing can, IMO, be a strong reason and justify to act this way.
We criticize Olcott a lot because his lack of consideration, his childish manners, his indiscretions, his volubility, but we have daily examples of it!!!
Daily examples!!! No need for going back in time.

MKR wote:

Here are the books listed as "Books of Interest" in the TS(Adyar) website.
One notices the absence of either SD or Isis. Is it accidental or
intentional? Where would theosophy and TS be today without these two
monumental works for which HPB sacrificed her life?
( list from ADYAR is omitted )
