Dear Anand,
Not all leaders of seperated groups showed hatred. But many members
of these groups did. If you simply read messages of members of
seperated groups, in Theos-talk archive, you will find large number
of messages filled with hatred towards Adyar TS and it's leaders.
And most of them are students of Blavatsky's writing !!!
If any member of any group, including the Adyar TS, expressed hatred on
Theos-talk, then I am very sad for them and look forward to the day when
they learn to know better.
Which leaders of separated groups showed hatred? Can you give me an
example?

Dear Jerry,
By the way, have you met these leaders you
accuse of hatred? Can you quote from any of their writings any
expression of hatred towards Adyar leaders? If you can, then
please
do. Frankly, I don't think you will be able to find such quotes,
because I don't believe such expressions of hatred exist. Please
prove
me wrong, if you can.
Over the past 43 years, I have had the good fortune to meet and to
get
to know the leaders and students of not only the Adyar, but of the
various "splits." I have never heard any leader or member of the
"splinter groups" express any hatred towards any Adyar member or
leader. Nor have I ever met one who ever expressed to me the
belief
that Blavatsky is the only source of truth. For example, I
remember
that Boris de Zirkoff, a Theosophist of the Point Loma Tradition,
used
to recommend that people read Clara Codd.

Subject: Theos-World Blavatsky's writing was cause of every split
in the TS
The Theosophical Society was founded in 1875. Adyar TS due to
Masters' blessings got many good writers like Annie Besant,
Charles
Leadbeater, Geoffrey Hodson, I.K. Taimni, Clara Codd, C.
Jinarajadasa, G.S.Arundale. Writings of all these authors was
widely
read and was popular. But students of these authors never
separated
from the Theosophical Society and never formed other society or
group. Readers and students of these authors never became cause
of
split of the TS. They remained with Adyar TS.
If we observe history, we find that every time Theosophical
Society
split, those separatist groups were composed of students of
Blavatsky's writing and believed in dogmatic and fundamentalist
manner that Blavatsky only knew truth, nobody else. They hated
all
other leaders and writers. TS was meant to form Universal
Brotherhood
and tolerance but these students of Blavatsky hated all other
writers
and eventually separated, split society and continued hating it.
As
it
happened again and again among students of Blavatsky's writing,
it is
perfectly clear that Blavatsky's writing develops negative,
divisive
tendencies among people. Blavatsky's writing is highly risky for
Adyar TS.
