Abstract
Writing a chapter on the Theosophical elements of the is a task that comes with a particular set of problems.The vagueness of the epithet New Age is connected with the history of the term. It was popularized in the 1970s as a phrase designating a very loosely organized and highly eclectic set of practices and doctrines. Theological and philosophical issues are also treated in the literature, and are discussed by interested individuals, but they play a more subdued role. The brief overview of religiosity has stressed the multiplicity of ideas and approaches involved. The belief in reincarnation was boosted by the Oriental Renaissance that in the 19th century generated a lively interest in the religions and philosophical systems of India. This chapter begins by noting the difficulties involved in pinning down the exact nature of the influence of Theosophical materials on practices and texts. Keywords:New religiosity; reincarnation; theosophical elements
