It is unfortunate for modern students that HPB did not reveal
informatmion given to her Esoteric Section, on whom she relied to
guide the TS, to Theosophists at large. Bowen was a member of the
Esoteric Section and was with HPB during the last weeks of her life.
How would Theosophists know what HPB was teaching the Esoteric
Section, since their literature was not made public? Bowen
mentioned HPB's sense of urgency in teaching the Esoteric Section in
her last weeks, and a sense of urgency is conveyed in the
letter, "Why I Do Not Return To India."
After sending the letter to India to be distributed among
Indians, "for some reason," it was not distributed by Olcott and
other leaders of the Indian Section. This is certainly a measure of
the opposition in India to Theosophy as HPB taught it. Bowen, as a
member of the Esoteric Section with Blavatsky in the last weeks of
her life, was in a better position to know what she taught the
Esoteric Section that was not available to other Theosophists.
Carlos, who are these people that are willing to accept as fact the
whispers of a cabal who opposed HPB and deny the testimony of
trusted students who stayed with her in the Esoteric Section until
the end? What was the motive of those in India that failed to
distribute her letter to Theosophists in India?
The "take-over" of Blavatsky's Theosophical Society in India was all
but complete one year before her death. The persons present
throughout the dismissal of Blavatsky's importance to Theosophy were
Olcott and Besant.
Olcott is the overlooked figure that was continuously involved in
efforts to undermine HPB's authority, working as he did as a jolly
good fellow to keep the opposition against HPB off his own back.
Olcott worked to protect his own rear. The success of his
socialable betrayal is seen today in the organizations he left
behind, which includes the American Section created after HPB's
death.
Best regards,
Krsanna
