Why would she keep a name like 'Blavatsky' after being married for 
only 3mo and not by her own choice. Instead of making famous a funny 
name like that, she should use her real name and get her own ancestry 
the credit for her accomplishments. Karma runs thru family trees. 
BTW, why could not she have a child.

Pythagoras warned his disciples that when they prayed they should not 
pray for themselves; that when they asked things of the gods they 
should not ask things for themselves, because no man knows what is 
good for him and it is for this reason undesirable to ask for things 
which, if obtained, would only prove to be injurious.
