Theos-Talk Archives (December 2000 Message tt00051)

There are two new additions to online files at the mahat list
at egroups.com. Additional information is also available on
the file that had been previously uploaded.

G. de Purucker was the head of the Theosophical Society from
1929 until his death in 1942. (When the original Theosophical
Society split in the 1890's, one part had the International
Headquarters at Adyar, India. The other part soon moved its
International Headquarters to Point Loma, California. Purucker
was the head of the Point Loma T.S.)

On September 23, 1737, while on a lecture tour of Europe,
Purucker gave a talk on Radio AVRO, in Hilversum, The
Netherlands. The first file in the archives is a recording
of that talk:

The 3055K file contains a talk, in English, 17:22 in length.

At the conclusion of the talk, it was summarized in Dutch
by Jan H. Venema, President of The Netherlands Section of
the Theosophical Society. That talk is the second file:

The third file added is a talk on the spiritual happenings
at the time of the Winter Solstice. It is being put online
in celebration of this time of year.

The talk is by Boris de Zirkoff. It was given December 22, 1973
in Studio City, California. De Zirkoff was editor of THE
COLLECTED WRITINGS OF H.P. BLAVATSKY for much of his life.

The talk was originally 47:25 in length, but to reduce file
size (and download times) it was shortened to 35:55 using
the shareware sound-editing program, goldwave. (The program
did a special "time compression" which makes the file play
faster without sounding funny.) The talk is at:

It is 4212K in size.
