Anand:

While I admire your hard work of putting a number of theosophical 
books online, perhaps many will consider your advice unhelpful, as I 
do. Theosophical books should be taken on their merit, not IMO on the 
so-called (or claimed) spiritual or occult status of their authors.

As for initiation, please see N. Sri Ram's view on it in the link 
below. He quietly introduced a considerable change in the way this 
topic was viewed in the Adyar TS when he became its President in 
February 1953. And yes, by all means, his books should be online too.
