Abstract
In the course of time, Theosophy has experienced numerous schisms and the formation of new branches. Agni Yoga (also known as Living Ethics, a name adopted in the 1930s), founded by the Russian painter Nicholas Roerich (1874 1947) and his wife Helena Roerich (1879 1955), is one of the most vital branches of Theosophy. The Roerichs severely criticized almost all second generation Theosophical Society (TS) leaders and disapproved intensely of the leaders of the Adyar group, Annie Besant (1847 1933) and Charles Webster Leadbeater (1854 1934). Today, especially in the post-Soviet regions, the Roerichs' teaching is consistently designated Living Ethics instead of Agni Yoga. Due to political circumstances, the spread of Living Ethics was facing major obstacles in the Roerichs' homeland. Though they had followers also in the USSR, after World War II their teaching was unknown to a wider public. Keywords:Agni Yoga; Helena Roerich; Nicholas Roerich; theosophy
