    From my readings of JK's lectures, audio and video tapes, I see quite
a similarity of the message that HPB gave in the Key to Theosophy and
what JK was discussing.

   Based on my understanding, one of the fundamental themes of JK is that
first and foremost we are all human beings and we need to treat every
other person as a human being. If this is not Universal Brotherhood in
action what else is?

  Looking at the continued emphasis given by Theosophists world over on
the unseen side of the world at the expense of the keeping the primary
focus and concern on Universal Brotherhood, I think JK was trying to
impress on the Theosophists and everyone else in the world the utmost
urgency of the recognition of the Universal Brotherhood and need for each
one of us to recognize it and do something about it. So JK has been
talking about the fundamental issues and ideals as an ordinary human
being. It may surprise many, that a large segment of individuals who
attended his meetings, heard his tapes, watched his videos, read his
books are all in one way or the other connected to TS and Theosophy.

   In my own case, when I first attended the International Convention in
1965, every evening was kept open so that the delegates can go across the
Adyar River and listen to JK's lecture. In every lecture, one of the
persons who was always in the front row was Bro. N. Sri Ram, who was then
the International President. Sri Ram, who always maintained that he was
a student of wisdom, I believe recognized the importance of JK's message
even at that time. I thought this is a very interesting information that
I would like to share with you all.
