BLAVATSKY DESCRIBED BY SADHGURU

In the first three minutes of the following video, Sadhguru spoke about Blavatsky, and although he said little about her, I note that most of what he said is incorrect:

CORRECTIONS

1. Sadhguru said that Blavatsky was in India in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but this is false.

Blavatsky had previously visited India twice in the mid-19th century.

Her third stay in India (which is the one Sadhguru mentions) was from January 1879 to May 1885.

But it is false that Blavatsky was in India at the beginning of the 20th century because Blavatsky died in 1891.

2. Sadhguru said that  all those Western spiritual seekers who went to India were explorers of Indian mysticism: Max Muller, Paul Brunton, including Blavatsky who came before them.

But this is incorrect because while the other seekers went to India to discover Indian spiritual teachings, Blavatsky went to India to clarify those teachings and motivate the natives to value them.

3. Sadhguru said that for Western explorers of mysticism, their journey to India was quite an adventure because—among other odysseys—they had to try to meet the right guru, but with Blavatsky this was not the case because she already had her teacher: Mahatma Morya.

4. Sadhguru said that Blavatsky ended up in Tamil Nadu where she established the Theosophical Society, but this is incorrect because the Theosophical Society was initially founded in 1875 in New York.

Later, the headquarters of the Theosophical Society moved to the Indian city of Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay), and then to the Adyar neighborhood located in the south of the Indian city of Chennai (formerly known as Madras), which is the capital of the state of Tamil Nadu.

And Blavatsky didn't end there, since she later went to live in Europe.

5. Sadhguru said that Blavatsky's project was to produce the perfect being, but this is incorrect and in reality Blavatsky's goal was to help humans develop (although not yet become perfect), and to achieve that, three objectives were established for the Theosophical Society which Blavatsky summarized in her book "The Key to Theosophy":

 

« The  principles of the Theosophical Society are three and always have been since the beginning, and these are:

 

1) To form the core of a Universal Brotherhood of Humanity without distinction of race, color or creed.

2) To promote the study of Aryan and other scriptures, of the religions and sciences of the world, and to vindicate the importance of ancient Asian literature, namely, Brahmanic, Buddhist and Zoroastrian philosophies.

3) To investigate the hidden mysteries of nature in all possible aspects, and especially the psychic and spiritual powers latent in man. »

CONCLUSION

Sadhguru did not study Blavatsky well.
