[Note from the editor: This article is based on a talk that was delivered during the 150^th International Convention in Adyar-India, on January 4,, 2026]

Our Convention theme has been centered around the concept of newness, particularly the emergence of a new humanity. We have touched upon this aspect, but it is not possible to fully explain or define what we are moving towards. However, I’d like to spend some time exploring the newness aspect of this. I may touch upon the past to better understand the present, but we’ll see how we proceed.

Practical Theosophy

Antonio Girardi – Italy

Theosophy Ant 2

Sunflowers naturally grow towards the sun seeking the Light, the Truth, and spiritual enlightenment. This simple but majestic flower also symbolizes devotion, empathy and creativity,

_______

A simple life is far more demanding

and far more profound …

A simple life is a life with no conflict …

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Knowledge holds the key to understanding reality

Studying Theosophy is not only a means of becoming attuned to a collection of knowledge based on the universal laws that govern the One Life, but also an opportunity to build a bridge between this knowledge and the concrete reality of existence. This is in keeping with what H.P. Blavatsky suggested to those closest to her: put knowledge into practice, assess its worth and thus turn it into awareness.

Heaven or Salvation? – Perspectives from Christianity, Buddhism, and Theosophy

Antti Savinainen – Suomi (Finland)

Theosophy Antti 2

The Christian doctrine usually equates heaven with salvation. According to Theosophy, however, heaven and salvation do not mean the same thing, although the term salvation is seldom used in theosophical circles. In the following, I will examine heaven and salvation from the perspectives of Protestant Christianity, Orthodox Christianity, and Buddhism. After that, I will present a theosophical view on heaven and salvation.

The True Basis of Brotherhood

Henry Travers Edge – England, USA

Edge 3

Henry Travers Edge

A certain writer, in discussing the meaning of the phrase, 'The State,' contrasts the theorie s of Rousseau and Plato, and consequently of the two schools of thought which they represent. Avoiding lengthy detail, we may sum up the matter by saying that the former starts from the assumption that the individual is a separate unit; and then, having made this false assumption, proceeds to devise means for the harmonious mutual adjustment of the lives of various individuals; and so the State appears as an artificial contrivance for preventing the (supposed) rights of different individuals from conflicting with each other.

The Wisdom Religion Before H.P.B.

Selflessness is sky

The bird of the heart

flies nowhere

but there

Jalaluddin Rumi^{^[1]}

The Wisdom Religion, which Hinduism sometimes calls Sanatana Dharma, and Western history has sometimes called Theosophia, and named Theosophy by Helena Blavatsky, has always existed. The ancient Stanzas of Dzyan are the oldest account of the Wisdom Religion available to us. But we are incarnated beings, just beginning the reascent from matter to spirit as the Fifth Sub-Race on this fourth globe of the Fourth Round. Here Manas, mind, which when fully awakened or developed is universal in thought, is brought to the fore. Given our current state of collective evolution, we necessarily use language to communicate and share with one another.
