Background to âManorâ and future role of Rio de Janeiro

The âManorâ center in Sydney, Australia is the only theosophical center in
the southern hemisphere of the world. According to published information,
before Sydney was selected for the southern center, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
was also considered and it was expected that Rio will play an important part
in the future. More on this later.

When Manor center was started, it was met with a lot of difficulty and
opposition from the Brothers of Shadow because there was remaining of the
old Lemurian influence to furnish suitable material for the unscrupulous. Of
course trouble was created through members of the TS.

It is obvious that we see continuous opposition from the dark forces since
the founding of the TS. We have no reason to doubt they are not behind the
events that TS has seen from the start of the nomination process for
election of the International President to the current condition of cleavage
among the leaders world-wide who are supposed to work for unity which is the
keyword of real theosophists.

Perhaps the Dugpas and the Lemurian influence have succeeded in joining
hands and in one sweep were able to muster whole bunch of leaders to do
their work; of course the leaders may not be conscious of their being used.

The fact that Rio was also considered for the center before Sydney was
selected, points to the important role it will play in the future. Recent
increased theosophical activities in Brazil may be the beginning of the
increased role Brazil is going to play. The opposition to the activities
from some leaders from other countries sounds familiar to anyone who has
followed the history of TS. At every step of any good that TS and its
members try to do to help the humanity, you immediately see the opposition
from the dark forces. Once we are conscious of this fact, it would be very
easy for any theosophist to decide which side they should be on.

I hope the above should give a better perspective of what is going on in
Brazil and why all theosophist should support it.
