Theos-Talk Archives (July 2010 Message tt00069)

Comments on -  Reflections on an Ageless Wisdom: A Commentary on The Mahatma
Letters to A. P. Sinnett.

This book by Joy Mills, who is well known in theosophical circles, is very
welcome.

I have not read the book. It is not a cheap paperback . List price is
US$39.95 and is out of reach of many interested theosophists (most of whom
are not rich), especially in the third world countries.

While Quest books - an arm of Theosophical Society in the United States -
has published it, one wonders why no one thought of making it also available
in electronic form such as a pdf file since it would dramatically increase
the number of people who are likely to access it and benefit from it.

When the TS was started, the Founders made it clear that theosophy is not
for the select and elite, but it is for everyone. From what everyone has
seen, the Societyâs leadersâ mindset is still pre-Internet and with all the
talk, is yet to leap into Internet age where information can be distributed
almost at no cost.

Making publication like this available for free in electronic media, will
both help spread of theosophical literature as well bring in new members
into the organization, which is either frozen or shrinking outside India. I
hope to see the book soon in electronic media for free download.

Note: Mahatma Letter to A P Sinnett is available for free on Internet.
Thanks for those who took the trouble of putting it on Internet for all of
us to benefit from.
