Madame Blavatsky
Born
Helena Petrovna Hahn in 1831, Madame
Blavatsky was of Russian background.
She was one of the founders of the
Theosophical Society which aimed at
reconciling all religions and sects
using common eternal truths. She is
accredited with having influenced
modern Occultism. Madame Blavatsky died
in 1891 and was exposed as having used
trickery to perform some of her
acts.
While living in New York City, she founded the Theosophical Society in September 1875, with Henry Steel Olcott, William Quan Judge and others. Madame Blavatsky claimed that all religions were both true in their inner teachings and false or imperfect in their external conventional manifestations. Imperfect men attempting to translate the divine knowledge had corrupted it in the translation. Her claim that esoteric spiritual knowledge is consistent with new science may be considered to be the first instance of what is now called New Age thinking. In fact, many researchers feel that much of New Age thought started with Blavatsky. Her last words in regard to her work were: "Keep the link unbroken! Do not let my last incarnation be a failure." Suffering from heart disease, rheumatism, Bright's disease of the kidneys, and complications from influenza, Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky died at 19 Avenue Road, St Johns Wood[5], the home she shared, in England on May 8, 1891. Her body was then cremated; one third of her ashes were sent to Europe, one third with William Quan Judge to the United States, and one third to India where her ashes were scattered in the Ganges River. May 8 is celebrated by Theosophists, and it is called White Lotus Day. She was succeeded as head of one branch of the Theosophical Society, by her protege, Annie Besant. Her friend, WQ Judge, headed the American Section. | |
