Theos-Talk Archives (July 2009 Message tt00284)

Dear Preethi and all

It now appears from your comments that there was much more to 
the attempt to offer another President for the Adyar Theosophical 
Society at the last international convention.

And it is certainly becoming apparent that the so called "ultra secret attempt" idea, promulgated repeatedly by Doss (Mkr), may 
not have been so after all. 

Inferring from what you expose, and from what others have 
written, the procedure for presenting an alternative voting system
for international president was both in accord with the rules and 
in the interests of fair play, but may have been politically manipulated by those in Adyar to appear differently? 

Do you have any direct knowledge of this process as it unfolded
at Adyar?

And can you cast any light as to why Mary Anderson nominated
John Algeo for president, after having worked closely with Radha 
Burnier at Adyar for so many years?

You are presenting us with a system that appears prima facie 
rotten to the core, exposing favouritism, nepotism and political machinations of the worst kind. I am sure genuine seekers after 
truth appreciate your candid expose and trust others will acknowledge your facts with impartiality rather than blind fanaticism.

Regards
Nigel

Of course, the article has his name on it as does the 'About the Author' section, but how could your Editor, Dr Geetha Jaikumar miss such an obvious error? I now know why Dr A. Kannan thought that i had written irrelevant things in my initial emails to you.

In Theosophical Work around the World, you mention that Mrs Linda Oliveira attended the 2008 Convention as international Vice-President. That is a lie, Mrs Burnier, because Mrs Oliveira did not attend the 2008 international Convention. She was admitted in Isabelle Hospital along with her husband, Mr Pedro Oliveira with a bad case of Chikungunia during the entire period of the international Convention. They did not get back from hospital till 5 January 2009, much after the Convention period is over. Remember, Mrs Burnier, your pets Pedro and Linda did not even get to address the convention gathering, even though their speeches were ready and waiting at the Editorial Office.

The Nova Sheet printer converted itself into a house for thousands of ants. It was an issue filled with breaks, gaps, problems and obstacles of every kind.

Dr Agarwal had his final rites not on campus at Adyar, as past deceased Theosophists have had, but outside the campus at Besant Nagar Electrical Crematorium, and C. Malathi's father at Thiruvanmiyur Electrical Crematorium.

So finally in your declining years, shall we say you have come back to your element and now are intending to practise casteism in the form of offering chelaship to brahmins by birth? And who would be your most preferred candidate -- Subha Nilakanta or Harihara Raghavan?
> 
> This is, indeed, shocking from someone who claims to be a 3rd-generation Theosophist. Shocking not only because of the casteist-flavour of your statements in the Theosophist, but also because one would expect that the head of the EST would know that chelaship or being a vehicle for the Masters of the Wisdom has got nothing to do with birth but more to do with the quality of the soul.
