For members of the Theosophical Society all over the world, Adyar is not
only the international headquarters of the Society, but is also a symbol of
the ideals which Theosophists cherish. It is a centre of spiritual power and
peace which draws forth deep devotion and aspiration to truth. It is also a
spring of inspiration and guidance, refreshing the hearts of many
generations of members.
The Theosophical Society consists of members spread over the world, who work
for the Society’s objects in Lodges (branches) and Sections, or
individually. They function everywhere with considerable freedom, and yet
feel a strong sense of unity with their fellows throughout the world. Adyar
plays no small part in maintaining that unity and sense of universal
brotherhood which characterize the Society’s activities. Adyar is the hub of
an ever-widening circle of harmony.
The Theosophy which the Society propagates is changeless Truth, the heritage
of all humanity; it is ‘a prize to be striven for, not a dogma to be imposed
by authority’. It has to be set forth in ways that are meaningful under
changing conditions. It is from Adyar that insights flow continually, giving
inspiration for the widespread activities of the Society and making
Theosophy a living, transforming power in people’s lives.
