IV. Theosophy and Christianity

Even today, people often confuse the Theosophical Society with the Buddhist worldview. I have often remarked at these monthly meetings that at the Theosophical Congress in Chicago in 1893, the Indian Brahmin G. N. Chakravarti himself said that for him, too, Theosophy had brought something completely new, or at least a complete renewal of his worldview. He said at the time that all spiritual worldviews, including those of his people in India, had given way to materialism, and that it was the Theosophical Society that had renewed the spiritual worldview in India. — One can already conclude from this that we did not bring Theosophy from India, just as, on the other hand, if one follows the theosophical movement as it has developed in recent decades, one must admit that it has increasingly endeavored to be the explainer of all other religious systems, that it has increasingly endeavored to bring to light the kernel of truth not only in Eastern but also in Western religious creeds.
