            But a Brothel - inferior Tantric practices?

No way!



And Saints are only found in Christian religious groups.

Well, those religious Saints of yours are ordinarily the worst in respect to Brothels and other activities of a more sinister kind are they not? (Do'nt do as I do, but do as I say...etc. etc.)

For instance, just try to think about certain Roman Catholic branches or offshoots.



And you keep on abusing and vilifying the good old Ladys name.

I wonder what theosophical tribe you belong to?

NASRUDIN IN HEAVEN

  Mulla Nasrudin was coming to after a serious operation. He was just

NASRUDIN SEEKING PEACE:

  Mulla Nasrudin and one of his friends were thinking one day to join the

  it?" "ME?" said Nasrudin. "I HAVE A WIFE AND I LOVE PEACE."

For some reason a scorpion hiding in the midst of Adyar is an interesting 



metaphor, considering some of the stuff going on lately.



And yet, how wonderful it would have been if, while the Mahachohan had been 



filling the skies of the ashram with hot air, a large, cream pie had 



miraculously appeared and hit him in the face. I have a feeling that that 

  one thing 



would have been the most salutary and instructive incident that could have 



happened in Theosophy.



And it would have been very funny to see as well.

When the plane landed at Chennai last Friday, Mumbai was still under 



a terrorist siege. The terrorists struck at the very touristic heart 



of that city, near the famous Gateway of India. On Saturday morning, 



when commandos of the National Security Guard finally cleared the 



last hotel in which hostages were being kept, the total death toll 



was over 170, with more than 300 people injured. There was widespread 



shock and disbelief in India. But India always recovers from such 



events. 



Students from Slovenia, Finland, Canada, Australia, Hungary and India 



are attending classes at the School of the Wisdom. The theme is "The 



Mahatmas on Theosophy and the TS". There is half an hour of silent 



meditation before the morning talk begins.



The different departments at Adyar are gearing up for the Convention 



at the end of the month. There were strong rains and winds in the 



last fortnight and some trees were uprooted. 



I met the President briefly the day after my arrival. She was 



preparing to go to a meeting at the Government House (Rashtrapati 



Bhavan). She was invited by the Governor of Arunachal Pradesh to give 



a speech during a book launch. She goes to the office both in the 



mornings and afternoons. 



The quiet and natural beauty at Adyar are refreshing. In one evening 



I decided to go for a walk after dinner and took with me a small 



torch. Near the coconut grove I met one of the many natural residents 



at Adyar: a black scorpion. He (or she) was the sort of creature that 



makes you pay careful attention. We had this silent meeting and I 



then decided to part company with the illustrious resident when I 



finally realized he was not going anywhere!



Some of the workers I had met in 1992 are still here and they 



apparently remember me. The TS at Adyar has given employment to 



generations of workers coming from the impoverished surroundings. 



Many of their children have studied in the Olcott Memorial High 



School.



One of the passages we examined recently at the School of the Wisdom 



was:



"Shall we devote our selves to teaching a few Europeans fed on the 



fat of the land, many of them loaded with the gifts of blind fortune, 



the rationale of bell ringing, cup growing, of the spiritual 



telephone and astral body formation, and leave the teeming millions 



of the ignorant, of the poor and despised, the lowly and the 



oppressed, to take care of themselves and of their hereafter the best 



they know how. Never. Rather perish the Theosophical Society with 



both its hapless founders than that we should permit it to become no 



better than an academy of magic and a hall of occultism. That we, the 



devoted followers of that spirit incarnate of absolute self 



sacrifice, of philanthropy, divine kindness, as of all the highest 



virtues attainable on this earth of sorrow, the man of men, Gautama 



Buddha, should ever allow the Theosophical Society to represent the 



embodiment of selfishness, the refuge of the few with no thought in 



them for the many, is a strange idea, my brothers." (The Mahachohan's 



Letter)



Walking around Adyar and its encircling neighbourhood helps us to 



understand the words of that great Adept. There cannot be Theosophy 



without a genuine sense of compassion towards those who are poor and 



despised.



The rains have stopped, the work continues, the crows are everywhere 



and Adyar continues to be pervaded by a sense of uncreated vastness 



and peace. I miss my litlle black scorpion friend. Perhaps we shall 



meet again. He has taught me to remain mindful. And he also goes to 



sleep in the magic quiet of Adyar nights.
