Theosophical Society in Atlanta

The Theosophical Society in Atlanta is a local chartered lodge of the Theosophical Society in America and the International Theosophical Society (Adyar). The Theosophical Society is a worldwide organization that was founded in New York on November 17, 1875. The Society seeks to bring people together; to reconcile the religions, philosophies, and sciences of both East and West; and to increase awareness of the Inner Reality present in every human being. As individuals we come together to share our diverse viewpoints, but we are also united by our acceptance of its objects (listed below), by our dedication to promoting brotherhood, and by our efforts to foster religious understanding and cooperation. We hold that truth should be sought by study, reflection and service, and not imposed by authority as a dogma. Peace is our watchword, as truth is our aim. The Atlanta Lodge was founded on November 23, 1916 with twenty-six charter members. Over the years we have explored many themes in science, religion, and philosophy. Please join us; we welcome all newcomers and perspectives and walks of life.

    Sun, Apr 11, 2010
    Hamsa speaks on the spiritual core of Vedic philosophy, which is the same inner directive of all Vedic science, called "Atma Vidya", or knowledge of the soul. Vedic astrology (jyotish) is the science of time and thus karma; ayurveda the science of healing and the Yoga philosophy's "call to action" all teach us the true goal of every living being: "self realization". Immersed in these ancient teachings of India since boyhood, Hamsa shares his knowledge and experience in making the connection, which points us toward the highest destiny attainable.
