To spread broadcast the teachings of Theosophy as recorded in the writings of H.P. Blavatsky and William Q. Judge
Overview
The United Lodge of Theosophists in India consists of two independent lodges, one in Mumbai (Theosophy Company (India) Pvt Ltd) and the other in Bengaluru (Theosophy Company (Mysore) Pvt Ltd). Both lodges were founded by Bahmanji Pestonji Wadia (or B.P Wadia), who was also the founder of the Indian Institute of World Culture.
While Theosophists trace the unbroken record of Theosophy to the very childhood of Humanity, the modern Movement by that name was inaugurated by its Founders - HPB and WQJ, on November 17th 1875. The Movement initially found expression in the body of the Theosophical Society (or TS) through which the light of Theosophy shone bright during the lifetime of its founders. However, following their demise, rivalries over "leadership", "authority", and "succession" nearly extinguished that light altogether. While such self-styled "leaders" of the Theosophical Society squabbled over the body of the Movement, Robert Crosbie rescued its SOUL and enshrined it in the United Lodge of Theosophists (or ULT), which he founded through the adoption of its Declaration on Febuary 18th 1909 in Los Angeles. B.P. Wadia arrived on the scene just five months after Crosbie's death, threw his entire weight behind the ULT and brought the light of true Theosophy back to India with the establishment of ULT Mumbai on November 17, 1929 and ULT Bengaluru in "Maitri Bhavan" on August 12th, 1942.
