Theos-Talk Archives (February 2010 Message tt00013)

MKR,

I am glad you are finally recognizing that an 86-year-old President CANNOT lead the TS forward. So then what is she doing in the President's chair? Might it not be better that she left it to younger blood? In the olden days when people were purer and understood the laws of Nature, someone who was 86 years old would be in Sadhana Ashrama, rather than in Grhastha Ashrama. Our President for all her knowledge of many things seems to have ignored this fact...and so the TS suffers from corruption of all kinds under a President who cannot let go.

But, yes, thank you for recognizing that we DO NEED A YOUNGER PRESIDENT TO RUN THE TS.

Fraternally

Preethi

      I wouldn't worry too much for the TS, its message has had its purpose and went across the globe. We live in a world now, where any sacred work can be bought, any state of being can be bought and any nirvana can be bought as well...however knowing all sacred works, having experienced all kinds of mindalterings and buying your way into nirvana will only be temporary untill one forgets and the next life will bring real trouble...

Being poor and appreciating what Nature gives you, learning how It wants to deal with you, and blessing you with good sleep will ultimately carry you beyond Nirvana...no TS needed.

Subject: Theos-World World Congress in Rome



The World Congress in Rome is scheduled in July. I am sure that many of the

General Secretaries and others from Europe would be attending. Of course,

due to the cost of travel and accommodation, the attendance from rest of the

world is not expected to be much. Rich members and others whose travel

expenses are met from TS Section treasury can be expected to attend.



Has anyone seen the program schedule? I hope they would address the most

urgent issue - membership. Aging leadership and difficulty in attracting

younger members, if continued, we are looking for a downward trend in

membership and some sections would survive till their treasury runs out. It

is a very sad state of affairs.



All the events starting with the election of the President and the cleavage

in the GC membership is slowly marring the good image the theosophy and TS

had in the world simply due to the dedication and unselfishness of past

leaders. When they also see the attempted secret disenfranchisement move to

seize the presidency by a handful of GC members, it presents a very poor

picture to prospects. All the participants involved in the past issues have

been silent and we have not seen any serious steps to bring about

cooperation which is urgently needed. We have no idea as to what is cooking

behind the scenes.



I hope the World Congress addresses urgent serious issues and not a just a

vacation like gathering for those who can attend.



MKR
