The Biography of
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky
Helena
Petrovna Blavatsky
1831-1891
The
Founder of Modern Theoosphy
Helena Petrovna von Hahn was born at Ekaterinoslav (now Dniepropetrovsk.), a town on the river Dnieper, in
Russia at the Time of H P Blavatsky’s Birth
Russian Society at the Time of H P Blavatsky’s Birth
When almost eighteen, she married the middle-aged Nikifor V. Blavatsky,
Vice-Governor of the
father.
The Great Exhibition (London) of 1851
On her twentieth birthday, in 1851, being then in London,
she met the individual whom she had known in her psycho-spiritual visions from
childhood --- an Eastern Initiate of Rajput birth, the Mahatma Morya or M. as
he became known in later years among Theosophists. He told her something of the
work that was in store for her, and from that moment she accepted fully his
guidance.
Later the same year,
She returned to
a covered wagon.
In late 1855, she left for India via Japan and the Straits. On this trip
she succeeded in entering Tibet through Kashmir and Ladakh, undergoing part of
her occult training with her Master. In 1858 she was in France and Germany, and
returned to Russia in the late Fall of the same year, staying a short time with
her sister Vera at Pskov. From 1860 to 1865, she lived and traveled through the
Caucasus, experiencing a severe
physical and psychic crisis which placed her in complete control over her
occult powers.
She left Russia again in the autumn of 1865, and travelled extensively through the Balkans,
Greece, Egypt, Syria and Italy and various other places.
In 1868 she went via India to Tibet. On this trip H.P.B. met the Master
Koot Hoomi (K.H.) for the first time and stayed in his house in Little Tibet.
In late 1870 she was back in Cyprus and Greece. Embarking for Egypt, she was
shipwrecked near the island of Spetsai on July 4, 1871; saved from drowning,
she went to Cairo where she tried to form a Societe Spirite which soon failed.
After further travels through the Middle East, she returned for a short
time to her relatives at Odessa, Russia in July, 1872. In the Spring of 1873,
Helena was instructed by her Teacher to go to Paris, and on further direct
orders from him, left for New York City where she landed July 7, 1873.
H.P. Blavatsky was then forty-two years old and in controlled possession
of her many and most unusual spiritual and occult powers. In the opinion of the
Mahatmas, she was the best
available instrument for the work they had in mind, namely to offer to the
world a new presentation, though only in brief outline of the age-old
Theosophia, "The accumulated Wisdom of the ages, tested and verified by
generations of Seers...," that body of Truth of which religions, great and
small, are but as branches of the parent tree. The Mahatmas assess H P
B’s suitability as a teacher in the Mahatmas Letters to A P Sinnett.
Her task was to challenge on the one hand the entrenched beliefs and
dogmas of Christian Theology and on the other the equally dogmatic
materialistic view of the science of her day. A crack, however, had recently
appeared in the twofold set of mental fortifications. It was caused by
Spiritualism, then sweeping America. To quote Helena’s own words: "I was
sent to prove the phenomena and their reality, and to show the fallacy of the
spiritualistic theory of spirits."
In October, 1874, H.P.B. was put in touch by her Teachers with Colonel
Henry Steel Olcott, a man of sterling worth who had acquired considerable
renown during the Civil War, had served the U.S. Government with distinction,
and was at the time practicing law in New York. She also met William Quan
Judge, a young Irish Lawyer, who was to play a unique role in the future
Theosophical work.
On September 7, 1875, these three leading figures, together with several
others, founded a society which they chose to call The Theosophical Society, as
promulgating the ancient teachings of Theosophy, or the Wisdom
concerning the Divine which had been the spiritual basis of other great
movements of the past, such as Neo-Platonism, Gnosticism, and the
Mystery-Schools of the Classical world. The Inaugural Address by the
President-Founder, Colonel Olcott, was
delivered November 17, 1875, a date which is considered to be the official date
of the founding of the Society. Starting from a generalized statement of
objectives, namely, "to collect and diffuse a knowledge of the laws which
govern the Universe," the Founders soon expressed them more specifically.
After several minor changes in wording, the Objects stand today as follows:
1. To form a nucleus of the Universal
Brotherhood of Humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or
color.
2. To encourage the study of Comparative
Religion, Philosophy and Science.
3. To investigate unexplained laws of Nature,
and the powers latent in man.
In September 1877, a powerful impact was made upon the reading and
thinking public by the publication of H.P. Blavatsky’s first monumental work,
Isis Unveiled, which was issued by J.W. Bouton in New York City, the one
thousand copies of the first printing being sold within ten days. The New York
Herald-Tribune considered the work as one of the "remarkable productions
of the century," many other papers and journals speaking in similar terms.
Isis Unveiled outlines the history, scope and development of the Occult
Sciences,
the nature and origin of Magic, the roots of Christianity, the errors of
Christian Theology and the fallacies of established orthodox Science, against
the backdrop of the secret teachings which run as a golden thread through
bygone centuries, coming up to the surface every now and then in the various
mystical movements of the last two thousand years or so.
On July 8, 1878, H.P. Blavatsky was naturalized as a U.S. citizen, an
event which received publicity in various newspapers. In December of the same year, H.P. Blavatsky
and Colonel Olcott left for India via England.
Arriving in Bombay in February, 1879, they established their
Theosophical Headquarters in that city. Soon after landing, they were contacted
by Alfred Percy Sinnett, then Editor of the Government Paper, The Pioneer of
Allahabad.
This contact soon proved of the utmost importance. After a tour of
northwestern India, the Founders returned to Bombay and started, in October,
1879, their first Theosophical Journal, The Theosophist (still published
today), with H.P. Blavatsky as Editor. The society experienced then a rapid
growth, and some very remarkable people were attracted to it both in India and
elsewhere.
During May-July, 1880 the Founders spent some time in Ceylon (Sri
Lanka), where Colonel Olcott laid the foundations for his later work to
stimulate the revival of Buddhism. They both took "Pancha Sila" or
became officially Buddhists.In September and October, 1880, H.P.B. and Colonel
Olcott visited
A.P. Sinnett and his wife Patience at Simla in northern India. The
serious interest of Sinnett in the teachings and the work of the Theosophical
Society prompted H.P. Blavatsky to establish a contact by correspondence
between Sinnett and the two Adepts who were sponsoring the Society, Mahatmas
K.H. and M. From this correspondence Sinnett wrote The Occult World (1881) and
Esoteric Buddhism (1883), both of which had an enormous influence in generating
public interest in Theosophy.
The replies and explanations given by the Mahatmas to the questions by Sinnett
were embodied in their letters from 1880 to 1885 and were published in 1923 as
The Mahatma Letters to A.P. Sinnett. The original letters from these Teachers
are preserved in the British Library where they can be viewed by special
permission in the Department of Rare Manuscripts.
In May, 1882, a large estate was bought in southern India at Adyar, near
Madras, and the Theosophical Headquarters were moved there at the end of the
year. This center became soon the radiating point for a world-wide activity.
Madame Blavatsky and Colonel Olcott engaged in trips to various outlying
districts, founded Branches, received visitors, conducted an enormous
correspondence with inquirers, and filled their Journal with most valuable and
scholarly material the main purpose of which was to revitalize the dormant
interest on the part of India in the spiritual worth of their own ancient
Scriptures.
It is during this period that Colonel Olcott engaged in widespread
mesmeric healings until February, 1884, when he left for London to petition the
British Government on behalf of the Buddhists of Ceylon (Sri Lanka). H.P.
Blavatsky, then in rather poor health, went to Europe with him.
After staying almost five months in Paris and London, H.P.B. visited the
Gebhard family in Elberfeld, Germany during the late Summer and early autumn of
1884 and was busily engaged in writing her second work, The Secret Doctrine.
Meanwhile, a vicious attack on her by Alexis and Emma Coulomb (two of
her staff members at Adyar) was rapidly building up. She returned to Adyar on
December 21, 1884 to learn the details of the situation. She wished to sue the
couple, already dismissed from Adyar for their gross libel on her concerning
the supposed fraudulent production of psychic phenomena. H.P.B. was, however,
overruled by a Committee of leading T.S. members, and in disgust resigned as
Corresponding Secretary of the Society. On March 31, 1885, she left for Europe,
never to return to Indian soil.
The Coulomb attack, as was later proved, had no solid foundation
whatsoever. It was based on forged and partially forged letters, purporting to
have been written by H.P. Blavatsky, with instructions to arrange fraudulent
psychic phenomena of various kinds. A Christian missionary magazine in Madras
published the most incriminating portions of these letters.
Meanwhile, the Society for Psychical Research (London) had appointed a
special committee to investigate Madame Blavatsky’s claims. Then, in December,
1884, Richard Hodgson, a member of this S.P.R. committee, arrived in India to
inquire into and report on the Coulombs’ allegations. Based upon Hodgson’s
findings, the S.P.R. committee in its final report of December, 1885, branded
Madame Blavatsky "one of the most accomplished, ingenious and interesting
impostors in history." Mr. Hodgson also accused Madame Blavatsky of being
a Russian spy. This "S.P.R.-Hodgson" Report has been the basis for
most subsequent attacks on H.P. Blavatsky, as to her dishonesty, the
non-existence of her Masters, and the worthlessness of Theosophy.
This vicious attack had a most unfavorable effect on H.P. Blavatsky’s
health. Having left India for Europe, she settled first in Italy and then in
August, 1885 at Wurzburg, Germany, where she worked on The Secret Doctrine. In
July, 1886, she relocated to Ostend, Belgium, and in May of 1887, at the
invitation of English Theosophists, she moved to a small house at Upper
Norwood, London.
After her arrival in England, Theosophical activities immediately began
to move rapidly. The Blavatsky Lodge was formed and started publicizing
Theosophical ideas.
As H.P. Blavatsky had virtually lost control of The Theosophist, she
founded in September, 1887 Lucifer, a monthly magazine designed, as stated on
its title-page, "to bring to light the hidden things of darkness."
Also in the same month, H.P.B. moved to 17 Lansdowne Road, Holland Park, London.
H.P.B. continued to write her great work which was finally completed and
published in two large volumes in October-December, 1888. Her indefatigable
helpers in the transcription and editing of the manuscript were Bertram
Keightley and Archibald Keightley, whose financial backing was also of immense
assistance.
The Secret Doctrine was the crowning achievement of H.P. Blavatsky’s
literary career. Volume I is concerned mainly with the evolution of the
Universe. The skeleton of this volume is formed by seven Stanzas, translated
from the Book of Dzyan, with commentary and explanations by H.P.B. Also in this
volume is an extended elucidation of the fundamental symbols contained in the
great religions and mythologies of the world. The second Volume contains a
further series of Stanzas from the Book of Dzyan, which
describe the evolution of humanity.
Also in October, 1888, Madame Blavatsky formed the Esoteric Section (or School) of the Theosophical Society for
the deeper study of the Esoteric Philosophy by dedicated students, and wrote
for them her three E. S. Instructions.
In 1889 H.P. Blavatsky published The Key to Theosophy, "a
clear Exposition, in the form of Question and Answer, of the Ethics, Science
and Philosophy for the study of which the Theosophical Society has been
founded," and the devotional mystical gem called The Voice of the Silence,
containing selected excerpts translated from an Eastern scripture, The Book of
the Golden Precepts, which she had learnt by heart during her training in the
East.
In July, 1890, H.P. B. established the European Headquarters of the
Theosophical Society at 19 Avenue Road, St. John’s Wood, London.
At this address H.P. Blavatsky died on May 8, 1891, during a severe
epidemic of flu in England, and her remains were cremated at Woking
Crematorium, Surrey.
Against the background of her writings and teachings, her life and
character, her mission and occult powers, H.P. Blavatsky is destined to be
recognized in time as the greatest Occultist in the history of Western
civilization and a direct agent of the Trans-Himalayan Brotherhood of Adepts.

Ten Benefits of Studying the Blavatskyan
Theosophical Teachings
Studying
the Blavatskyan Theosophical teachings offers numerous benefits that can
greatly enrich one's understanding of spirituality, philosophy, and the nature
of reality. Theosophy, as defined by the
writings of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, has had a profound impact on the
spiritual and philosophical landscape of the modern world. Blavatsky's
teachings draw from a wide range of religious and philosophical traditions,
including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Western esotericism, and present a
comprehensive worldview that addresses fundamental questions about existence,
consciousness, and the cosmos.
Here
are ten benefits of studying the Blavatskyan Theosophical Teachings
1.
Exploration of Esoteric Wisdom
One
of the primary benefits of studying the Blavatskyan Theosophical teachings is
the opportunity to explore esoteric wisdom that is often not readily accessible
in mainstream religious or philosophical traditions. Blavatsky's writings delve
into the esoteric teachings of ancient cultures and mystery schools, shedding
light on profound spiritual truths that have been passed down through the ages.
By delving into these esoteric teachings, students of Theosophy can gain
insights into the nature of consciousness, the structure of the cosmos, and the
evolution of the soul or immortal self.
2.
Synthesis of Eastern and Western Philosophy
Blavatsky's
Theosophical teachings synthesize elements of Eastern and Western philosophy,
offering a comprehensive framework that integrates concepts from diverse
cultural and religious traditions. This synthesis provides students with a
broader perspective on philosophical and spiritual thought, allowing them to
see the underlying unity of seemingly disparate belief systems. By studying
Theosophy, individuals can gain a deeper appreciation for the universal
principles that underlie all wisdom traditions, fostering a sense of unity and
interconnectedness with the world's spiritual heritage.
3.
Understanding of Universal Brotherhood
Central
to Blavatsky's Theosophical teachings is the principle of universal
brotherhood, which emphasizes the essential unity of all beings and the
interconnectedness of life. By studying Theosophy, individuals can develop a
profound understanding of the interconnected nature of existence, recognizing
that all living beings are fundamentally linked and that compassion and empathy
are essential for the evolution of humanity. This understanding can lead to a
greater sense of empathy, kindness, and social responsibility, fostering a more
harmonious and compassionate society.
4.
Insight into the Nature of Reality
The
Blavatskyan Theosophical teachings offer profound insights into the nature of
reality, consciousness, and the unseen dimensions of existence. Through the
study of Theosophy, individuals can explore concepts such as the
multi-dimensional nature of the universe, the existence of subtle energy
realms, and the interconnectedness of the material and spiritual planes. This
exploration can lead to a deeper understanding of the nature of reality beyond
the limitations of the physical senses, opening up new vistas of perception and
understanding.
5.
Personal Spiritual Growth
Studying
the Theosophical teachings can be a transformative journey that facilitates
personal spiritual growth and self-discovery. Blavatsky's writings offer
practical guidance for inner development, including meditation practices,
ethical principles, and the cultivation of spiritual virtues. By applying these
teachings to their lives, individuals can experience profound personal
transformation, leading to greater self-awareness, inner peace, and a sense of
purpose and meaning.
6.
Ethical and Moral Guidance
The
Theosophical teachings provide a comprehensive ethical and moral framework that
can guide individuals in their personal and social interactions. Blavatsky
emphasizes the importance of ethical conduct, altruism, and the pursuit of
wisdom, offering practical guidance for leading a virtuous and meaningful life.
By studying Theosophy, individuals can gain clarity on moral issues, cultivate
a sense of ethical responsibility, and contribute to the greater good of
humanity.
7.
Appreciation of Comparative Religion
The
study of Theosophy encourages an appreciation of comparative religion and the
underlying unity of religious and spiritual traditions. Blavatsky's writings
explore the common threads that run through the world's religions, highlighting
universal spiritual principles that transcend cultural and historical
boundaries. By gaining a deeper understanding of comparative religion through
Theosophy, individuals can develop a more inclusive and pluralistic
perspective, fostering interfaith harmony and mutual respect.
8.
Intellectual Stimulation
The Theosophical
teachings offer a rich and intellectually stimulating framework for exploring
profound philosophical and metaphysical concepts. Blavatsky's writings
encompass a wide range of subjects, including cosmology, metaphysics, ancient
wisdom, and the evolution of consciousness, providing ample material for
intellectual inquiry and contemplation. By engaging with these teachings,
individuals can expand their intellectual horizons, develop critical thinking
skills, and gain a deeper understanding of the fundamental questions that have
intrigued philosophers and mystics throughout history.
9.
Healing and Reconciliation
The
Theosophical teachings offer insights into the nature of healing and
reconciliation, both on a personal and collective level. Blavatsky's writings
delve into the esoteric principles of healing, the nature of disease, and the
interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. By studying Theosophy,
individuals can gain a deeper understanding of holistic healing modalities, the
power of the mind in influencing health, and the potential for spiritual
transformation through the healing process. Furthermore, the Theosophical
emphasis on universal brotherhood and compassion can contribute to the
reconciliation of divisions and conflicts within society, fostering a more
harmonious and peaceful world.
10.
Contribution to Global Transformation
Finally,
studying the Blavatskyan Theosophical teachings can empower individuals to
contribute to the ongoing global transformation towards a more enlightened and
compassionate world. Blavatsky's vision of a spiritually awakened humanity,
working towards the betterment of all beings, inspires individuals to engage in
positive action and service to humanity. By embodying the principles of
Theosophy in their lives, individuals can become agents of positive change,
working towards the realization of a more just, peaceful, and sustainable
world.
In
summary, the study of the Blavatskyan Theosophical teachings offers a wide
range of benefits, ranging from personal spiritual growth to the potential for
global transformation. By delving into the esoteric wisdom, ethical principles,
and philosophical insights of Theosophy, individuals can expand their
understanding of the nature of reality, cultivate compassion and empathy, and
contribute to the evolution of humanity towards a more harmonious and
enlightened future. As the Theosophical teachings continue to inspire and guide
seekers of truth and wisdom, their profound impact on individuals and society
is likely to endure for generations to come.

of Theosophy in Wales
Wales is a Principality within the United Kingdom
and has an eastern border with England. The land
area is just over 8,000 square miles. Snowdon in
North Wales is the highest mountain at 3,650 feet.
The coastline is almost 750 miles long. The population
of Wales as at the 2001 census is 2,946,200.
Modern Theosophy
Dictionary
definitions of “Theosophy” do not adequately convey its meaning as used in the
context of the Theosophical Movement. Modern Theosophy is generally defined by
the writings of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, William Quan Judge, Alfred Percy
Sinnett and later writers in the same lineage. Theosophy does not have dogma or
specific beliefs but rather presents ideas for consideration with everything
being negotiable.
