Theos-Talk Archives (May 2009 Message tt00354)

Anand, from time to time, has made very valuable contributions to TS and
Theosophy. We are a heterogeneous group with Brotherhood acting as a common
thread. Will have difference of opinions; but I look for the invaluable gems
that show up from time to time and I do not want to miss them.
