Two guides outlining the principles of the Theosophical movement. The Theosophical Society is a movement founded in 1875 by Helena Blavatsky in New York City, with the aim of exploring the nature of the universe and humanity’s place within it, promoting the understanding of the common source of all religions, and serving as a nucleus of universal brotherhood among all people. The great innovation that Blavatsky brought to the West, which she claimed was not an innovation at all but a forgotten truth known in ancient times, is that all religions have a common foundation of knowledge or “divine wisdom.” “The Wisdom Religion, ” which is the pinnacle of human knowledge, will continue to exist even after all other religions and philosophies have ceased. Today, the society has branches in about sixty countries, with its international headquarters in India. The swastika used by the society is an ancient symbol of good fortune and well-being, long before it was appropriated by the Nazi regime, and was widely used in various spiritual and cultural contexts, and here he appears next to the Star of David..
