Madame HP Blavatsky - Sri Sarvari

The East meets the West.

Swami Vivekananda ventured to speak on behalf of Bharat, in Chicago, in 1893, during world religions meet. He proved himself as the Light of Asia, a torch bearer for Indian culture. He boldly advocated the brotherhood of all religions. Thanks to Swamiji.

A little before the arrival of Swami Vivekananda in America, another light traveled from America to India, with the hope of joining the West with the East. The harbinger was none other than Madame H P Blavatsky. History could not forget her efforts. She was not an American woman nor even an English lady.

Blavatsky was born in Communist Russia. She spent her early days behind the iron curtain. She treated many a land met saints of many countries. She met great Masters, not caring for life and pleasures. By birth, she was considered a miracle child. Finally, she could reach her dream land India. She considered Bharat as a Divine Yoga Land. She laid foundation for the spiritual revolution of the 20th century right in the second half of the 19th century. Like Swami Vivekananda, Madame Blavatsky took the yoke on her shoulders.

Madame Blavatsky searched in between the lines in the gaps between the religions. Was she not religious? No, she rose above all religions. She became irreligious. In her search for Truth, she found theosophy as the right link between all religions. The theosophy can be applied to all religions, in all regions, at all times.

Theosophy means know-ledge of the Self, Divine consciousness. It is common to humanity. The origin to all religions is faith in god, love for the Supreme. The names differ from country to country, from tribe to tribe. The dogmas and rituals change from race to race. If the dark curtains are dropped out Truth reveals crystal clear. That is the revelation of Blavatsky. That is her Secret Doctrine.
