Hi Pedro,

Excellent ponts. We might not say that that TS is a Kali Yuga 
society, as in limited to the cycle in which it was founded. But we 
could consider that an organization like the TS, with such high 
spiritual ideals, would find great challenges in even existing in a 
primarily materialistic cycle, when humanity would be preoccupied 
with greed and selfishness. The TS is a manifestation of something 
that is timesless and without limitations, which can appear in any 
cycle and take on the outer trappings of whatever era it finds 
itself.
