Helena Petrovna Blavatsky
In 1987, I was browsing through a used bookstore in Kansas City. I stumbled upon a series of six volumes of essays Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-1891). Its history, documented in five volumes of information gleaned from the life of a mystic adventure, charmed me from the first page I turned.
History of Madame Blavatsky read as the eighteenth century Indiana Jones, only instead of artifacts, she searched for the secrets of the occult. She was born in Russia and at 18 traveled to Europe, and thence to Turkey, Greece, Egypt and France. Then in London, England, where in 1851 she met her spiritual mentor. Then she went to Canada and New Orleans, Mexico, South America and West Indies. Next was Ceylon and India. In America, she crossed the Rockies with a caravan of emigrants, and then to Japan, India, Kashmir, parts of Tibet, Burma, finally, returning to Europe via Java. Finally, after 9 years of traveling back to Russia in 1858. It resumed its journey, and in 1860 she went to the Caucasus, and traveled with the native tribes in three years. At this point, it gained control of her occult powers. Then, in 1863, she traveled to the Balkans, Egypt, Syria, Italy.
Then Blavatsky began her literary career of his spiritual experience, in 1875 she founded the Theosophical Society in New York and in 1877 published his first great work: – 1877 Isis – 1879 Theosophist Magazine
With planted in the U.S., and the rapid growth of the movement of the new headquarters was established in Adyar, India. The headquarters remained in India, however, the war in India, prompted HP Blavatsky to move to Germany, where she wrote a second large volume. Her final step was personal in London in 1887, where it is published: – 1888
