  RECENT VISITORS AT OLCOTT
         


  

Our winter here at Olcott has been brightened by a constant flow of out-of-town members, international and domestic. Right after finishing his work at Krotona, Vic Hao Chin came our way for a visit. Vic does not come our way nearly as often as we would like. So, when he is with us we have a tendency to shamelessly overwork him. During the five days he spent here we asked him to present four Webcast programs and attend innumerable in-house meetings. Fortunately for us, he seems to thrive on this level of interaction. One of the truly wonderful things that came out of these meetings was a vision of a new Web-based tool for study of the Mahatma Letters. Read More

  REMEMBERING RUKMINI DEVI

 

A Birthday Celebration 

 

bkstck






On February 29, the headquarters staff celebrated the Leap Day birthday of Rukmini Devi Arundale (1904-1986). Known to Theosophists as the wife of international President George Arundale, Rukmini is renowned in India for restoring classical dance forms and founding the Kalakshetra Academy. At tea time we shared cake and mango sorbet, and showed a brief video called "Remembering Smt Rukmini Devi Arundale," which you can
view here.

Closer is He than breathing,
and nearer than hands and feet."
