Home Library Lectures Bookshop The New York Theosophical Society New York, NY 10022 email: nyts@theosophy-ny.org PUBLIC PROGRAM ABOUT THE THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY THE THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY is worldwide and has flourished in New York since its founding here in 1875. Our commitment to integrative education and cultivating the spiritual growth of humanity is deeply rooted. Our work is grounded in three Objects: To form a nucleus of the universal brotherhood of humanity without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste, or color. To encourage the comparative study of religion, science and philosophy. To investigate unexplained laws of nature and the powers latent in humanity. The Theosophical Society is composed of students, belonging to any religion or to none, who are united by their approval of the above Objects; by their wish to remove religious antagonisms and draw people together; and their desire to study religious, scientific, and philosophical truths and share the results of their studies with others. Their bond of union is not the profession of a common belief, but a common search and aspiration for Truth. They hold that Truth is to be sought in study, reflection, purity of life, and devotion to high ideals. They regard Truth as a prize to be striven for, not a dogma to be imposed by authority.
