Helena Petrovna Blavatsky

1831 -1891

 

H P Blavatsky’s Theosophy

 

An interpretation of the

Eastern Esoteric Tradition

for Western Society.

 

 

In the late 19th century, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky began a spiritual revolution in the West with a modern interpretation of Eastern Esoteric ideas which transcended all religions and schools of philosophy. These ideas are not presented as religious dogma but simply as ideas for consideration.

 

This new interpretation is far from easy to understand and it requires time and study to appreciate. At the time of its introduction it was probably over 100 years ahead of Western Society’s ability to assimilate.

 

The Blavatsky Wales Theosophical Group holds regular events in Cardiff to promote both the work of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and an appreciation of the life that this fascinating woman lived.

(still miss von Hahn)

 

Helena Petrovna von Hahn was born at Ekaterinoslav (now Dniepropetrovsk.), a town on the river Dnieper, in Southern Russia, on the 12th of August, 1831. She was the daughter of Colonel Peter von Hahn, who was a cavalry officer in the Russian army and of Prussian aristocratic descent, and Helena de Fadeyev, a renowned novelist.

The Theosophical Tradition

 

H P Blavatsky was quite adamant that nobody owns Theosophy. Since her death in 1891, the Theosophical Society which she co-founded in 1875 has divided and many diverse organizations now carry forward the tradition.

 

The one element which all Theosophical bodies have in common is that they all require their members to be in accord with the original 3 Objects of the Society, which were established by the Theosophical Society founded in New York in 1875.

 

Here outlined;

 

Objects of

The Theosophical Society

 

1. To form a nucleus of the Universal Brotherhood of Humanity without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or colour.

 

2. To encourage the study of Comparative Religion, Philosophy and Science.

 

3. To investigate unexplained laws of Nature and the powers latent in man.

 

 

The Secret Doctrine

 

Completed in 1888, The Secret Doctrine is H P Blavatsky’s best known and definitive work. Based primarily on Brahminical Hinduism and Esoteric Buddhism and drawing on many other traditions, the work brings the teachings of an inner circle of adepts to the wider world. H P Blavatsky systematically outlines a scheme for the existence of the universe and describes man’s place within that scheme.

 

The Secret Doctrine is a complex work which beginners find rather intimidating to study directly. Many Theosophists begin with the many available commentaries and basic introductions. Here are two free introductory course online;

Tekels Park

Camberley, Surrey, England

 

Tekels Park to be Sold to a Developer

Concerns are raised about the fate of the wildlife as

The Spiritual Retreat, Tekels Park in Camberley,

Surrey, England is to be sold to a developer.

 

Tekels Park is a 50 acre woodland park, purchased

 for the Adyar Theosophical Society in England in 1929.

In addition to concern about the park, many are

 worried about the future of the Tekels Park Deer

as they are not a protected species.

 

Many feel that the sale of a sanctuary 

for wildlife to a developer can only mean 

disaster for the park’s animals

 

There is confusion as the Theoversity moves out of 

Tekels Park to Southampton, Glastonbury & 

Chorley in Lancashire while the leadership claim

that the Theosophical Society will carry on using 

Tekels Park despite its sale to a developer
