Adyar, 24 November 2012

The School of The Wisdom on The Secret Doctrine by H. P. Blavatsky ended today with a farewell lunch in a restaurant at the other side of the Adyar River.

The next School will start on Monday 26 November and will be for two weeks on the subject of The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali with commentaries by I. K. Taimni.

On Wednesday 24th November, the festival of the 544^th birthday celebration of the Sikh Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Radha Burnier, International President of the Theosophical Society received the Developers India’s “Vibrant Indian Award” for her life’s work. A T.S. member and film maker, was one of the speakers. He said that he had written a film script for a movie on Indira Ghandi, during a two months stay at Leadbeater’s Chambers. This may encourage those who hesitate to come to the T.S. in Adyar, because they might think, that study and writing of papers would not be possible.

On Sunday we shall have a lunch organised by the Madras Theosophical Federation. That whole day there will be activities organized by the Theosophical Order of Service, the Federation and the Adyar Lodge. A panel is organized on "The continuing relevance of the perennial philosophy."

Very sweaty weather with rainclouds in the sky makes one wonder how to survive the heat in summer. We have to take life one day at a time and expect the best of it. To be at this beautiful place is really a privilege and invites to do the best one can in working for theosophy. Plato will have to be studied, for the Neo-Platonists are considered to be theosophists. Plotinus also, who explained the teaching of Plato in his Enneades.

Next week we shall go and visit the library and tell all about it.

That's all for now from,
Mr. Brooder
