Theos-Talk Archives (August 2004 Message tt00656)

While it is a fact that the world owes much of the modern theosophy through 
the works of HPB, there were other individuals who were in direct touch 
with the Masters.

Here are some examples.

Saint Ramalingam of South India was telling his disciples much before 1875 
that representatives of the Adepts from Himalayas will be preaching 
Universal Brotherhood and he was specific that the representatives will 
come from US and Russia.

There are several letters received by many individuals directly from the 
Adepts; some in Indian language(s). Some of them have been published.

Another case in point was the information about Seven Rays (which was later 
published) which Ernest Wood directly received even though he was not 
specific about the specific source. While he chose not to identify the 
source in his writings, I suspect he may have given some indication in 
personal conversations at the time he received the information.

In the light of the above, it is quite possible that even after HPB and 
even today there may be individuals who are in contact with the Adepts even 
though those in contact may not be willing to disclose or may be prevented 
from disclosing it by the requirements of the Adepts.

Another aspect of the Wisdom of the Ages is that there are many which 
cannot be put writing or communicated. It may be recalled that in one of 
the letters from the Mahatmas, it was commented that were it be possible to 
communicate in writing, then all it needs is to write a book like a grammer.

So it appears that our best course is to suspend our judgements until we 
are internally ready to come to our own conclusion.
