Annie Besant's Birthday

Oct 01, 1997 06:48 AM
by ramadoss


Oct 1 each year is celebrated in India in most TS Lodges and numerous
educational institutions founded by Annie Besant, in recognition of the work
she did in India.

We may not agree with many things she did. But she was a born leader and
orator and did get things done. She had established such incorruptible
personal integrity that she was able to raise substantial funds for TS and
other educational causes. It was during her time that the Adyar Estate was
expanded from about 20 acres to nearly 400 acres.
