UTF & Rhagavan Iyer, reposts, Russia


   In mentioning different present Theosophical 
groups and traditions, I wonder why no one 
ever mentions Rhagavan Iyer and the 
United Theosophical Federation, centered 
at Santa Barbara, I believe, and what 
other associations I don't know.  Iyer 
put out a huge amount of literature with 
his "Hermes" magazine, and I think 
their "Vidya" is still being published, 
and there is a large website.  What I 
have read of the material is excellent, 
and all within the Blavatsky-oriented 
line of thinking.  Also, I think they 
are associated with Concord Grove Press, 
and maybe other efforts, and have put 
out a large number of excellent books.  
So whats the deal?  One never hears 
here from anyone claiming to be a Pasadena 
person, or anyone saying anything about UTF.


    Do some of you realize in your 
posts, that you carry along with them 
as baggage items that have been reposted up to
seven times, and your 2 line comment may
carry 500 lines of repost below?  I get the
theos-talk digest and often 2/3 of it is
useless and unreadable multiple reposts, up
to 200 kb.

whether in America Transactions of 
Blavatsky Lodge were ever printed in 
such quantities during 2 years.>


    WOW!  That is good news and indicative
of something going on there in Russia!  That
Mme. B and de Zirkoff were Russian has something
to do with it.  (Sounds like there would be a
market for the BCW!)
