The Future? of the
Adyar Theosophical Society
Western
President
Or
They’ll Knock Adyar
Down?
The latest development in Adyar's
cynical use of the Theosophical Society to keep itself going is that it now
wants to hire a Westerner as international president in order to con the
authorities into believing that Adyar is the headquarters of an international
organisation, so they won't knock it down.
After years of sucking the life out of
the Theosophical Society to feed their own agenda, the Adyar controllers are
apparently worried because the Adyar Estate is threatened with the enforcement
of a compulsory land acquisition order. This threat is not new and has been
around for years. Under the Indian system it seems that this order will not be
enforced if Adyar can demonstrate that it is the headquarters of an
international organisation. If this is the case then it is strange that the
order hasn’t been enforced already.
The 2014 presidential election looks
like changing from a struggle over the control of Adyar to a diplomatic
exercise by the Adyar controllers to save Adyar and an opportunity to
strengthen Adyar's position when it comes to draining resources and energy from
the Society. This comes at a time when the Society is likely to break up and
there has been talk of moving the headquarters to another country, with Wheaton
(USA) sometimes mentioned. If news of the land acquisition threat is accurate
then a non-Indian international president would be unable to move the
headquarters from Adyar and would almost certainly need to reside there.
Although the land acquisition threat has
been around for some years, the Adyar controllers have sat on it and kept it
from the general membership. It seems timely that this news should surface just
after an election is announced and it could be seen as a desperate ploy by the
Adyar controllers to preserve Adyar and the privileges that go with it. The
precise details of this land acquisition threat should be given to all voting
members.
The fact that the Adyar controllers now
want a Westerner as president to convince the authorities that Adyar is the
headquarters of an international organisation clearly demonstrates that Adyar
no longer functions as such a headquarters. If the authorities have rumbled
Adyar as functioning only as a stately home for the Theosophical elite and not
an international headquarters then it is about time the Theosophical Society
realised this also.

Radha Burnier’s
policy of allocating jobs to members of her own

Adyar Headquarters into the family firm.
How many suitable
applicants were discounted so that
Radha Burnier could give a job to a family member?
Despite decades of decline and stagnation leading the
Adyar Theosophical Society to the verge of evaporation
or disintegration, the leadership have so far shown no
sign of coming up with a strategy for ensuring the
continuation of the Society as a unified body.
Adyar,
the Sole Purpose of Adyar
Revealing that the Adyar elite’s stately home is under
threat
of compulsory land purchase and can be saved by convincing
the
authorities that it is in fact an international headquarters
(if true)
may have given the Theosophical Society members a
brilliant
opportunity to get Adyar off their backs.
If not true then it looks like blackmail

International Election
Protocol
This is only an idea for consideration but if the
Theosophical elite
continue to treat the members with the current levels of
indifference and
contempt for the duration of this election then the Adyar
Theosophical
Society will be an empty shell by the time it is completed.
The secrecy with
which the Adyar Theosophical Society
leadership
conducts the Society’s affairs is legendary.
Is this secrecy
for its own sake or are some serious
issues being suppressed and kept beyond discussion?

Silence is Killing
the Adyar Theosophical Society.
The presidential

The silence rule

Accountable Leadership Urgently Required

What Makes this Election Invalid?
Was your vote

Was the election
actually held?
Against a
background of silence, a court case and
allegations of irregularities, these are fair questions.
