Helena Petrovna Blavatsky

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky was born on August 12, 1831 (31 July, old style) at Ekaterinoslav, then part of Russia, which today is Dnipro, Ukraine. She was a Theosophist, writer, and traveler.

In 1875 (together with Colonel H. S. Olcott, attorney William Quan Judge and others) she established the Theosophical Society. Blavatsky was the main source of Theosophical teachings and discussed the major themes of Theosophy in many articles and several major works, including "Isis Unveiled," "The Secret Doctrine," "The Key to Theosophy," and "The Voice of the Silence." She died in London, on May 8, 1891.

Blavatsky, widely known as HPB, was instrumental in bringing the spiritual wisdom of the East and that of the ancient Western mysteries to the modern West, where they were virtually unknown.

An introduction to the books of Krotona Library ...
Annie Besant

Annie Besant (1847–1933) was an orator, writer, and social rights activist. She is well known from her role in the Indian National Congress during the struggle for Indian home rule, and for her support of national education in India. She was president of the Theosophical Society based in Adyar, Chennai, India, from 1907-1933.

Ms Besant helped the women to form a Matchgirls Union in 1887. The public sympathy and success of the strike was an important development in the unskilled trades union movement.

She penned the invocation used throughout the Theosophical Society.
O Hidden Life, vibrant in every atom;
O Hidden Light, shining in every creature;
O Hidden Love, embracing all in Oneness;
May each who feels himself as one with Thee,
Know he is also one with every other.
