Theosophical Society HQ - Chennai
Theosophical Society HQ is geographically located at latitude 13° 0' 42" North of the Equator and longitude 80° 15' 48" East of the Prime Meridian on the Map of India. Searching for Truth in all the great religions of the world, seeking to investigate the powers latent in Man, intent on establishing an "Universal Brotherhood of Humanity without distinctions of race, creed, sex, caste or colour", the Colonel Henry S. Olcott and the Russian-born aristocrat, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, founded the Theosophical Society in New York on November 17, 1875. Theosophy is the wisdom underlying all religions when they are stripped of accretions and superstitions. It offers a philosophy which renders life intelligible and demonstrates that justice and love guide the cosmos. Its teachings aid the unfoldment of the latent spiritual nature in the human being, without dependence or fear. But it was in India, they felt, they'd find the great truths and so they arrived in Bombay in 1879 and, no doubt intimidated by the crass commercialism of a city emerging as the business capital of India, they moved to the then sylvan banks of the Adyar, Chennai in 1882.
