The Future? of the
Adyar Theosophical Society
One
Vote
Tim Boyd nominates
only one candidate for
International
Vice-President and expects the
General Council
members to vote for him.
No Consultation
No Discussion
The weakness of the
General Council is legendary
and it may well just
do as it is told.
No other candidates
for the post are being considered
Here is the voting slip sent out on May
12th 2014 to all General Council members. It is simply a document to
rubber stamp the already decided election of International Secretary and Election Committee Secretary,
Chittaranjan Satapathy to the position of International Vice-President. The
General Council is so ineffective that it is probably capable of no more than
rubber stamping a decision on the instruction of its superiors. It has
demonstrated no loyalty to the paying members who elected it.
The General Council could
surprise everyone by saying no, but don’t hold your breath.
By rubber stamping
this appointment,
the General Council
will further confirm
that it does not exist
as a governing body
Chittaranjan Satapathy was
the Election Committee Secretary for the controversial 2014 Presidential
Election. By making him International Vice-President, it will be easier for the
leadership to fend off demands for more
information
about an election in which there were allegations of voting irregularities, and
also to block demands for a fresh election.
It was Chittaranjan Satapathy
who arranged and organised Tim Boyd’s instant installation and thus established
Tim Boyd’s subservience to him. Keen to please his masters, Tim Boyd is
effectively nominating Chittaranjan Satapathy as his boss in his now obvious
cringeworthy manner.

Radha Burnier Employment

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

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?

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.

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

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.

No hurry to prove

But a real hurry to get the president installed

Doubts about the
election result will
make the
President’s job impossible.

Serious allegations about a reign of terror at Adyar
are lodged with the International President.
There is no response, just silence.
Serious allegations surround the treatment of staff and
Theosophical Society members at Adyar, but members find
that the elected president is unable to do anything.
As it stands only
56% of the poll and 49% of the final vote
can be verified
by section leaderships on the current information.
As many ask if it is safe to go to Adyar.
An idea for serious consideration
The General Council Should Allow
Tim Boyd's
failure to deal with serious allegations will
mean that the
fear of being banged up in police cells
will henceforth
haunt visitors to Adyar.
