Not surprising :) In Russian "grub" means "harsh" or "rough".

Have you tried with TS Adyar? I think it's more widespread in 
Netherlands than Pasadena. Saying frankly, I have had troubles with 
them and even had problems with joining for several years, yet of all 
worldwide theosophical organizations which I've contacted it seems to 
me the most healthy. We may admit that they are too bureaucratic and 
conservative, but they are not fanatical.

I can't answer this question but there are some interesting glimpses 
on Narada in "Spiritual Astrology" by E. Krishnamacharya, chapter on 
Mercury. (He is mentioned in other chapters also).

It can be downloaded from http://ftp1.dns-systems.net/~hpb/books
