I guess, when we call the founders H. P. Blavatsky and H. S. Olcott, I will have to express my honest doubt about the truth in that statement. Any comments anyone?

  Dear Radhaji,

  As the TS goes through another of its periodical crises, the present 
  being perhaps one of the most serious in the last one hundred years, 
  my thoughts are very much with you at this moment.

  I am sure I am joined in my concern for both your well-being and the 
  well-being of The Theosophical Society by members in many countries.

  One joins the TS in order to serve its purpose and ideals, and this 
  is a privilege of many lifetimes, as the Society exists to help the 
  Powers of Goodness and Wisdom in their work of regenerating the human 
  consciousness.

  Those who, in the recent Presidential election in the TS, used your 
  health as an instrument of political manipulation and power, are now 
  attempting to curtail your constitutional prerogatives as the duly 
  elected President of the TS, among other things. They are also 
  attempting to disenfranchise the entire membership of the Society 
  from their fundamental right to elect the International President.

  We have seen such forces acting at different times in the history of 
  the Society. They are the instruments of division, strife and 
  separateness. However, every time such forces have raised their 
  heads, and attempted to deviate the Society from its sacred purpose, 
  they have been prevented from doing so by the collective will of the 
  majority of the members. The present attempt is perhaps more serious 
  because it includes manipulation and politicking from within the 
  General Council. Those who are doing so, as you know, have not 
  consulted you at any time regarding their intended actions. 

  Your life and your work speak for themselves. When members world-wide 
  successively elected you as President of the Theosophical Society, 
  they expressed their choice. Your mandate therefore has been given to 
  you by the members of the TS. Your contribution to the Society is 
  such that it has maintained the TS as a strong spiritual body 
  internationally. You have shown us that the essence of Theosophy is 
  indeed human regeneration and, in doing so, you have helped to keep 
  alive within us, members, the message of the Founders.

  With strong support for your work, for Adyar and with warm and 
  fraternal good wishes,

  Pedro Oliveira
