A forceful and gifted individual, H.P. Blavatsky wrote in a forthright 
and powerful style challenging the confusion and absurdities of

science, and assailing some of the claims of 19th century 
Spiritualism. She presented ideas and teachings which seemed like 
pretentious nonsense to her orthodox contemporaries. Furthermore, 
H.P.B. demonstrated psychic powers of a startling character, and said 
she was in contact with certain highly evolved Masters. 

It was inevitable that H.P.B. should make enemies on every hand who 
published slanderous untruths as to her dishonesty, the fraudulence of 
her psychic phenomena, the non-existence of her Masters, and the 
worthlessness of Theosophy. But how much of truth is there in these 
accusations? Careful, detailed research into the primary source 
documents clearly shows that the attacks on H.P.B. lack a solid basis.
