Description
“The Theosophical Glossary” by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky is an essential resource for students and scholars of all religion and spiritual writings, including the “I AM” Activity and Ascended Masters, providing a comprehensive guide to the complex terminology and key concepts found within the Theosophical tradition. Compiled by one of the founders of the Theosophical Society, this glossary is an invaluable tool for navigating the intricate ideas and profound teachings associated with esoteric philosophy.
This authoritative work contains definitions and explanations of terms drawn from a variety of sources including Eastern and Western spiritual traditions, ancient mythology, and the arcane sciences. Each entry is crafted with precision and depth, reflecting Blavatsky’s profound understanding of diverse spiritual traditions and her commitment to the synthesis of knowledge.
The Glossary provides meanings and context to the wealth of Sanskrit, Greek, Latin, Tibetan, Chaldean, Persian, Scandinavian, Hebrew, Kabalistic, Gnostic, and Occult terms found in the many works of Theosophical literature: the two volumes each of Isis Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine, The Key to Theosophy, The Ocean of Theosophy, the journals Theosophist, Lucifer and The Path, and other publications of the 19th Century Theosophical Society.
Readers will find insights into terms such as “Akasha,” “Karma,” “Prana,” and “Samadhi,” along with explanations of lesser-known concepts integral to the Theosophical vision. The glossary not only serves as a dictionary but also as a window into the philosophical foundation of Theosophy and its attempt to uncover the underlying unity of all spiritual teachings.
“The Theosophical Glossary” is more than just a reference book; it is a portal to the ancient wisdom that underpins the Theosophical Society’s pursuit of truth. It is suited for anyone from the curious newcomer to the dedicated student who wishes to deepen their understanding of this profound philosophical tradition.
Whether used as a companion to Blavatsky’s major works, such as “The Secret Doctrine” and “Isis Unveiled,” or as a standalone reference, this glossary is a must-have for anyone exploring the depths of religious and spiritual thought.
