  ADYAR DAY                   

The first official Adyar Day was celebrated in 1926 with the intent that on February 17 of every year, Theosophists around the world might turn their thoughts to the spiritual and administrative center of the Society. On this day homage is paid to the past leaders of the Society and donations are made towards the support of Adyar Headquarters. February 17 is also the anniversary of the death of the President-Founder Henry Steel Olcott, and is the reason why this date was originally commemorated as Olcott Day.
If you would like to contribute to the Adyar Day Fund, you may write a check to TSA, mark "Adyar Day Fund" in the memo line, and mail it to TSA, P. O. Box 270, Wheaton, IL 60187.

Wishing all Lodges and Study Centers around the world
a happy and inspiring Adyar Day.



  LECTURE BY JOHN KERN                         


Listen to "Reminiscences of my Father" presented by John Kern on January 27th, 2015 in Ojai, California. Based on an article originally published in the Quest Magazine, John Kern looks back on his father, Herbert A. Kern, and recounts the events that led him from humble beginnings to becoming a successful chemical engineer. He would later make use of his good fortune by creating The Kern Foundation, the primary funding source of the Theosophical Society in America's educational outreach efforts. John Kern, Herbert Kern's son, is a founding trustee of the Kern Foundation. Read more and listen to the talk here

At Valentine's Day we often send messages or letters that express desires to build connections. The Mahatmas wrote letters in an attempt to build connections with those who might be relevant to the forming of the Theosophical Society and its movement. Consciously going within is another way to build connections and to commune with deeper aspects of our being. Here are some recommended titles on both the Mahatma Letters and Meditation.
