DVD
The Obligatory Pilgrimage
by C.V.K. Maithreya

Madame Blavatsky enunciated Three Fundamental Propositions as the foundation for understanding Theosophy. The DVD deals with the Third, which reads: "The fundamental identity of all Souls with the Universal Over-Soul....;and the obligatory pilgrimage for every Soul......through the Cycle of Incarnation (or "Necessity") in accordance with Cyclic and Karmic law, during the whole term." The speaker explores the meaning and implications of the title, quoting from classic Theosophical texts, including The Mahatma Letters, At the Feet of the Master, Light on the Path and others. He throws light on the vexing question of what causes us to live life in a fragmented manner and how practical wisdom is different from shrewdness and cleverness. So grasping this Third Proposition is key to our understanding and utilization of the Ancient Wisdom.

There could be no better person than C.V.K. Maithreya to explain Madame Blavatsky's esoteric writing. He is a longtime theosophist attached to the International Theosophical Society in Chennai, India. As President of the Theosophical Order of Service, he travels abroad, sharing his experiences in putting Theosophical ideals into practice. We should take this opportunity to imbibe the spirit of service that he embodies in himself and his message.

The Lodge meetings are usually on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays
of each month from 10:00 a.m. to noon and are free and open to the public.
Feel free to bring a friend.

A message to all members

of The Theosophical Community

We are excited to announce the creation of a Secret Doctrine Study Group in The Theosophical Community!

Click here to visit the group!
(Participation requires that you join the group, similar to the way the Reading Group works. This is necessary due to the way the site software works. There are no membership requirements--all applicants will be accepted!)

In our recent survey, you asked for a greater emphasis on the modern Theosophical teachings. One important step in this direction is the creation of a space dedicated to the shared study, discussion and exploration of The Secret Doctrine.

The major theme of this group is facilitation--it is here to serve as a gathering place for helping students to help themselves (and each other) to benefit from HPB's magnum opus. It is also our hope that the group will carry a sense of true community, "forming a nucleus" of companionship and camaraderie.

This group is currently in its germinal stage--this is just the beginning, and the group will surely develop and grow over time. Therefore, we issue a call to all interested in helping out with this new project to step forward and contribute any ideas or suggestions. One thing the group could really use is some more experienced students of the SD to step forward and serve as advisors in the development of the group. Any interested persons should send a message to Daniel Noga and let him know how you'd like to contribute!
