Ihav just caught up with this subject & am most concerned for 'Preethi'. This post is far more than a list of complaints. They may or may not be true. What troubles me is the tone of the post and what it says about her psychological state. The message drips with venom; it is not objective; it indicates a person who is in vendetta. How such a message could appear on a Group entitled 'Theosophy World' escapes me. Could someone who knows this person (I'm not sure whether male or female) please attempt to help her. this interior attitude is dangerous to her

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.

> And in the July 2009 issue of the Theosophist you have also lied openly Mrs Burnier. 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.

> In fact, when you illegally appointed Mrs Linda Oliveira early in November 2008 as IVP, the machines at the Editorial Office put up a strong fight. 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.

> And now see how, Mrs Burnier, "Theosophists" can no longer have the privilege of having their bodies exhumed on campus of Adyar. 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.
>
> Why i am bringing all of this to your and other members' attention is because you can kick out Preethi from her home Adyar, but you cannot fight the Forces of Adyar, the Forces of Nature and the Force of Life, who are all stronger than you or all your cronies put together will ever be.

> It is time for you to step down from your post Mrs Burnier and to allow younger blood and younger generations to lead the TS, someone more spiritual than you are; someone more Theosophical, united than you are.
>
> I was shocked to read your Watch-Tower Notes in the July 2009 issue of the Theosophist, where you stress so much on Brahminism as being the criterion for a person to be accepted as a chela. 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.
