The relevance of Esoteric Science to current religious, philosophical and scientific ideas will be discussed.

H. P. Blavatsky's The Key to Theosophy.
Wisdom, the universal heritage, cannot be confined to a particular region on earth. Almost at the same epoch of the flowering of great philosophies in India, another part of the East, namely China, witnessed the blossoming of great philosophical thinkers. This session will tentatively give a broad outline of Chinese philosophies in the light of theosophy.
Every theosophist is recommended to attend, giving tools for applying the principles in one's life and in introducing the means to lodges or section.
N. Sri Ram, the fifth International President of the Theosophical Society, is noted for his penetrating insight into the serious problems of life and his remarkable lucidity of expression. Life’s Deeper Aspects is a collection of addresses dealing with various vital aspects of modern life. The course will attempt an exploration into the profound vision of life and its problems presented by Sri Ram.
