The Future? of the
Adyar Theosophical Society
Suspend
The Election Result
Pending
an Enquiry
Krishnaphani
Kesiraju calls on the governing body
to
act as a governing body
Below is a copy of a letter sent out
today (June 18th 2014) from Indian Section Council Member, Krishnaphani Kesiraju to all General Council members calling for action
suspending the disputed result of the 2014 Presidential Election, pending an
enquiry.
He is actually calling on the governing
body to act as a governing body, and it is yet to be seen if the General
Council is capable of acting beyond functioning as a rubber stamp for the
decisions of the Adyar controllers. The proposal would also mean suspending any
appointments made by the current International President until the enquiry is
complete.
This a splendid initiative, Well Done! Krishnaphani Kesiraju

Radha Burnier Employment
Services
Radha Burnier’s policy of allocating jobs to members of her own
family turned the
Adyar Headquarters into the family firm.
How many suitable
applicants were discounted so that
Radha Burnier
could give a job to a family member?
Despite decades
of decline and stagnation leading the
Adyar
Theosophical Society to the verge of evaporation
or
disintegration, the leadership have so far shown no
sign of coming up
with a strategy for ensuring the
continuation of
the Society as a unified body.
Adyar, the Sole Purpose of Adyar
Revealing that
the Adyar elite’s stately home is under threat
of compulsory land
purchase and can be saved by convincing the
authorities that
it is in fact an international headquarters (if true)
may have given
the Theosophical Society members a brilliant
opportunity to
get Adyar off their backs.
If not true then
it looks like blackmail
An overview of
the Adyar Theosophical Society
Expecting members
to vote for candidates while withholding
highly relevant
information indicates an utter contempt by
the leadership for the general membership

International Election Protocol
This is only an
idea for consideration but if the Theosophical elite
continue to treat
the members with the current levels of indifference and
contempt for the
duration of this election then the Adyar Theosophical
Society will be an empty shell by the time it is completed.
The secrecy with
which the Adyar Theosophical Society
leadership
conducts the Society’s affairs is legendary.
Is this secrecy
for its own sake or are some serious
issues being suppressed and kept beyond discussion?
Banging the Drum for Theosophy
Looking forward to the post Adyar era
Family control of
Adyar has reduced the members
of the General Council to the status of town hall officials.
Silence by elected management cheats
the members out of participating in
the
running of their own organisation
Keeping the International Headquarters at
Adyar
The Adyar
Theosophical Society ruling elite denies
members the right
to be consulted on issues and the
ability to convey
their views directly to the leadership.
Why does the
leadership of an organisation
treat its members
like this in the modern era?

A leadership
shutdown combined with a total
news blackout
suggests a serious hidden issue
and an intense
fear of revealing it.
Is the self
imposed isolation of the General Council effectively
a mass resignation
as they have found, after the death of
Radha Burnier, that establishing control of Adyar is too difficult?
Silence is
Killing the Adyar Theosophical Society.
The presidential
candidates are as much victims of the
General Council’s
silence rule as are the members.
The silence rule
also seeks to establish General Council
control over the future president.
Have the Esoteric
Section and the
General Council
merged into one body?
for the Adyar Theosophical Society?
CVK Maithreya
presented plans for the future, in
defiance of
General Council instructions.
Does suppression
of discussion mean that the
Adyar Theosophical Society doesn’t have a future?
Accountable Leadership Urgently Required
The General
Council has abused its power
by putting itself
beyond accountability.
A new leadership is needed, and fast.
Do the members
still have a Society?
Those who have
kept the Society time warped
in the 1930s now
have the task of introducing
reform and they
obviously don’t want to do it.
Left sitting out
in the cold and starved of information,
members now
realise how the General Council regards them
Why not include this picture in any information
request to General Council
officers as an
indication of how members feel they are being treated.
Or just send the picture anyway.
The Adyar
Theosophical Society is decades
out of date and
desperately in need of reform
starting with
getting rid of a leadership that
refuses to be
accountable to the members.

Nobody sees it,
Nobody hears from it
Is it hiding somewhere?
Does it exist?
Even if the
presidential election is correct and above board,
the confidence in
the General Council has fallen so low
that members won’t believe it.
Haven’t members been
cheated for long enough?

What the paying
members want has little to do with
this election, as
the silence and lack of information show.
The real purpose
of this election is for the General Council
to deliver the
candidate that the Adyar ruling elite wants.
What Makes this Election Invalid?
Was your vote
forwarded to Adyar?
Was the election
actually held?
Against a
background of silence, a court case and
allegations of irregularities, these are fair questions.
Well, it’s much
easier than being a real president
Democracy in the Adyar Theosophical Society
Well, what can
you expect in an organisation where
the leadership
regards the membership as ballast
Doubts about the
integrity of the election
are left unresolved,
rendering the result invalid.
The Ballast now know their true status
While the President Creeps into Office
By the Adyar
Theosophical Society ruling elite.
No hurry to prove
the election result
But a real hurry to get the president installed
The Adyar
Theosophical Society has become
a multi-level
marketing operation
Doubts about the
election result will
make the
President’s job impossible.

Serious

that the elected president is unable to do anything.
Allegations
against Adyar Estate General Manager,
Mr S Harihara
Raghavan over staff bullying
and threats of
imprisonment are not new.
Preethi Muthiah’s

indicate that the
