This shot was taken inside the Theosophical Society in Chennai. It?s located in the middle of a huge park full of Banyans, a beautiful tree. One get a sense of peace there.
The Theosophical Society, founded in 1875, is a worldwide body whose primary object is Universal Brotherhood based on the realization that life, and all its diverse forms, human and non-human, is indivisibly One. The Society imposes no belief on its members, who are united by a common search for Truth and desire to learn the meaning and purpose of existence by engaging themselves in study, reflection, purity of life and loving service.
Theosophy is the wisdom underlying all religions when they are stripped of accretions and superstitions. It offers a philosophy which renders life intelligible and demonstrates that justice and love guide the cosmos. Its teachings aid the unfoldment of the latent spiritual nature in the human being, without dependence or fear.
Great shot, Claude. The man at the lower right adds that wonderful human touch. I find it interesting that the Indian chapter was the third. Members of the Theosophical Society in India, particularly Annie Besant though I'm sure there were many more important ones, played a very important role in the early years of the Indian independence movement.
