On December 21, 1996 THE KARACHI THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY completed
100 years of beneficial service to the citizens and the city
of Karachi.
The Theosophical Society stands out as a unique forum and
platform where likeminded persons of any religion or faith
get together to understand and foster ethical, moral and spiritual
values and principles. Through study and through reflection,
the underlying truths in the teachings of the prophets, mystics,
seers and teachers, often hidden, are sought to be grasped
intellectually and intuitively. Such a pursuit, besides benefiting
the individual student, creates a salutary and uplifting effect
on society, although not immediately apparent, as such influences
work through the collective consciousness. Even materialistic
science has now begun to accept interconnectedness and synchronicity
at a deeper level as a fact.
The Theosophical Society is not content with promoting human values solely
through reason and the higher faculties. It is also working
at this through the ameliorating of suffering and by providing
financial and other help to those who are in need. This work
is being done by the welfare arm of the Society, known as
THE THEOSOPHICAL ORDER OF SERVICE.
In order to provide the facilities for furthering the work,
as indicated above, the Society built a first-class RCC building
in 1955 on the site of the earlier (1910) stone and wooden
structure which had to be pulled down. The new structure known as the JAMSHED MEMORIAL HALL comprises
a ground plus two floors and has a total floor area of 18,500
square feet.
