Accelerating Human Evolution by Theosophical Initiation
The main subjects of analysis in the present book are the stages of initiation in the grand scheme of Theosophical evolution. These initiatory steps are connected to an idea of evolutionary self-development by means of a set of virtues that are relative to the individual’s position on the path of evolution. The central thesis is that these stages were translated from the “Hindu” tradition to the “Theosophical” tradition through multifaceted “hybridization processes” in which several Indian members of the Theosophical Society partook. Starting with Annie Besant’s early Theosophy, the stages of initiation are traced through Blavatsky’s work to Manilal Dvivedi and T. Subba Row...

Annie Besant: Weisheit und Wissenschaft - Die Biographie
Annie Besant ist weltweit bekannt als langjährige Präsidentin der Theosophischen Gesellschaft und Wegbereiterin der indischen Unabhängigkeit. Gleichzeitig war sie eine wissenschaftliche Vordenkerin, die seit ihrer Studienzeit an der Sorbonne in Paris neue Einsichten auf den Gebieten der Physik und Chemie entwickeln half. Sie nahm in beiden Fachbereichen Erkenntnisse der Gegenwart um Jahrzehnte vorweg. In dieser Biographie wird erstmals der Wissenschaftlerin und Gesellschaftsreformerin Annie Besant gebührende Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet, um nachzuweisen, welche befruchtende Synthese Theosophie und Naturwissenschaft einzugehen vermögen!
Indians and the Antipodes
The Indian diaspora in Australia and New Zealand represents a successful ethnic community making significant contributions to their host societies and economies. However, because of their small number—slightly more than half a million— they rarely find mention in the global literature on Indian diaspora. The present volume seeks to remedy this oversight. Charting the chequered 250-year-old history of both the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ diaspora in the antipodes, the chapters narrate the stories of labourers who journeyed under the pressure of colonial capital and post-war professional migrants who went in search of better opportunities. In the context of the ‘White Australia’ and ‘White New Zealand’ policies designed to stem the arrival of Asians in the early twentieth century, we read of the complex survival stratagems adopted by migrants to circumvent the stringent insular world view of the existing white settlers in these countries. Together with stories of the collective suffering and struggles of the diaspora, we are presented with stories of individual resilience, enterprise, and social mobility.
