On Sunday, April 27, the votes were counted for the election of the new International President of the Theosophical Society with its international headquarters in Adyar, Chennai, India. Having received a majority of the total votes, Tim Boyd was elected as the eighth International President; the second American President since the Society's founding in 1875.

On April 29 an event was organized in Chennai, where Tim received a warm reception from local members. A reporter from The Hindu interviewed the newly elected President.

 

Tim joined the TS in 1974 and since then he has been very active both in the TS and TOS work, as you can read in this TS Wiki article. 


Our support and heartfelt congratulations go to Tim, together with our best wishes for a fruitful and inspired presidency.

 Barborka's The Divine Plan
The Essential Teachings of the Secret Doctrine
June 20-22, 2014

Presented by Brant Jackson

Is life based on random events and chance happenings? Or is there some underlying plan according to which both the universe and our lives unfold? Are the events of our lives due to mere happenstance, or is there some grand design within which our thoughts and actions take place? Is there order to the Universe, or is there nothing by blind evolutionary forces at work? Is the Universe nothing but the fortuitous concourse of atoms, or is the visible world guided from within by unseen intelligences of a higher order?
