Re: White Brotherhood

Dear Osmar,

My research indicates that although HPB had established
contacts with Indian adepts prior to coming to America, her
main influences from 1873-1879 were adepts in Egypt, Europe and
America.  The characters I identify in this context include
Freemasons, Rosicrucians, Sufis, etc.  But after going to India
she was predominantly influenced by Hindu, Sikh and Buddhist
adepts.  That they were all part of one big occult brotherhood
is something for which I have found no evidence, and which
seems most improbable.

Best wishes
