Abstract

This chapter covers the background to the theosophical society's foundation in 1875 and the main events until the end of the nineteenth century. It turns to some other characters already in place on the American stage before Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (HPB) started her life's work. While Blavatsky remained at Adyar editing and writing, Olcott toured the subcontinent promoting Theosophy and defending the rights of Hindus and Buddhists against colonial and missionary interference. The Adyar Theosophists, fearful of worse publicity, forbade HPB to sue the Coulombs. According to HPB, the Mahatmas make an effort in the last quarter of each century to help on the spiritual progress of humanity. Keywords:Adyar; Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (HPB); theosophical society
