Annie Besant and Her Contributions

Annie Besant (1847–1933), second President of The Theosophical Society from 1907 to 1933, was described as a ‘Diamond Soul’, for she had many brilliant facets to her character.  She was an outstanding orator of her time, a champion of human freedom, educationist, philanthropist, and author with more than three hundred books and pamphlets to her credit. She also guided thousands of men and women all over the world in their spiritual quest. Her birthday, 1st October, serves a a memorial day in her memory.

Thought and Its Power

Our visiting speaker, Bro. Hrishikesh Sharan talks about the Mind, the Mental Body, Thought and its power. He says

"Human beings all over the world look alike anatomically but the difference comes in what lies above the eyebrows in the head, the brain, the mind, the skull where the thoughts are generated. It is through these thoughts only that a Bin Laden or a Buddha is created. The thoughts also define our desires, likings and dislikings, attitudes and whether we shall predominate in qualities like love, compassion, friendship, goodwill, empathy or our life will be guided by hatred, jealousy, anger, greed etc.

Human mind is like a fallow ground. If we throw the seeds of thorns , we shall get only thorns. If we put the seeds of sugarcane, then from every fibre of the sugarcane that will come out, we shall only get sweetness. The choice is entirely ours. But are we serious about putting the right seeds. Are we at least aware about the importance of the thought power, its control and culture. Probably not! We all take bathe everyday, clean our physical body, our dwelling place, our motor car and the garden at regular interval but how many of us are keen and serious to clean our mental body as well? Nevertheless, whether we clean it or not our mental body, what is inside us all in million times more stronger than what is visible outside."

The Birth and Evolution of the Soul

Bro. Choong Chi Pin continues his talk on the second of two lectures given by Annie Besant in 1895 in London tracing the progress of the soul. Synopsis as follows:

‘A thought of revenge or of anger which is directed towards any person with a view to injure him is essentially of the nature of Black Magic. And the greater the power of the person who does it, and the greater the knowledge of the person who does it, the greater is their crime for which they have to answer to the Law. In this way, then, the Soul works by these thought-forms. First these thought-forms, then their Elementals, working back upon the Soul that generates them, as well as working in the outer world; these go on with the Soul into Devachan, so far as they are pure in their nature, and make the faculty of which I spoke, being as it were moulded into faculty; and then coming back, the physical body is moulded by way of the astral to manifest this character, which has taken to itself, by means of these thought-forms, certain definite shapes.’
