Foundation Anniversaries of the Theosophical Society and of the World Teacher Trust
This year, we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Theosophical Society (TS) – officially, it was founded in New York, USA, on 17 November 1875. Together with Helena P. Blavatsky (HPB), the team of founders were Henry Steel Olcott as president, William Quan Judge, and a few others.
96 years and one day later, on 18 November 1971, there was the founding of the World Teacher Trust (WTT). It was founded by Master EK (Dr. Ekkirala Krishnamacharya) in Visakhapatnam, India. As per Indian counting, this year is the 55th anniversary of the WTT.
The Greek work “theosophia” means “divine wisdom”. This word was coined by the Greek philosopher Ammonius Saccas. He used to secretly give his wisdom to very few dedicated disciples while outwardly doing the work of a potter for his living. HPB mentions his name in ‘Isis Unveiled’ and ‘Secret Doctrine’ as well.
The objectives of the TS are Universal Brotherhood, no differentiation based on caste, creed, etc. learning the world scriptures, understanding the creation, nature and man in all aspects. The objectives of the WTT are the same in essence.
Madam HPB and Master EK were very clear and fiery in their dedication to bringing out the teachings of the Masters of Wisdom to the world. May we honour them by studying their work and by dedicating ourselves to practice the teachings in our lives with a sincere intent.
