Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt01092)

Dear Friends, 
 
Since a few years ago,  the Adyar Esoteric School and the Adyar TS leaders in India  have been doing nothing while John Algeo and Daniel Caldwell try to  incorporate into the theosophical literature the worst libels and lies created by  the Coulombs  and by Mr. Solovyof against H.P.B. (1) 
 
For  some reason, Adyar TS people in India seem to have forgotten that  H.P.B.  was  the founder of the theosophical movement and of the Esoteric School.    
 
If you make an effort to clarify their position,  perhaps you can get a personal letter from Mrs. Radha Burnier accepting the fact that those false letters ascribed to H.P.B. are ?obviously spurious? ? and kindly  telling you that  she considers herself free from any responsibility as to publishing those ?theosophical? libels against the Messenger.  I got such a letter in 2004. 
 
What is the meaning of such a thing?  In  fact, time is cyclic and this situation in Adyar is far from being  entirely new.  
 
When these very same forgeries and libels first appeared during the 1880s,  H.P. Blavatsky  had something to say about the Adyar leaders? position  in that occasion.     
 
In a letter to A. P. Sinnett,  H.P.B. asked herself: 
 
?Why should my best friends allow me to be so vilified!? (2)
 
And  then  she  commented:  
 
?While my enemies tear me to pieces the Adyar  people play at ?hide and seek?  ? they pretend to be dead ? Oh! the poor miserable cowards!! (...) I tell you I suffer more from theosophical ?traitors? than from the Coulomb, Patterson or even the S.P.R.? (3)
 
 
Best regards,  Carlos Cardoso Aveline.
