Venus - the morning and evening star
The Supplement contains the full text of the new play about the three Theosophical Founders in 1875 – in it William Q Judge is given a leading role with a monologue at the end that finishes:
“Brothers and Sisters… this Society must not fail. It will not fail.
As you’ve just heard, we are entering a New Cycle with all the opportunities that it offers! Humanity has a choice; it can either move further down that road to where its goals are wealth, possessions and selfish gratification, or up towards a Golden Age of compassionate love and the true joy that comes from an awareness that none of us are separate but integral parts of the whole of Nature…
So, though many attempts will be made to break our resolve through slander, malice and deliberate distortions of what we are attempting to teach – and, more importantly, to show by the way we live – it is only indifference that can seriously weaken our cause.
To study what The Masters have given us is a privilege. What individually you do with that privilege is up to you.

Dear Readers and Correspondents
Some of the items in this month’s edition are a letter calling for your support for the Justice for Judge campaign for 13th April, his birthday. The letter is on p 4 – just send an email to lutbr@terra.com.br to ask about supporting this important action (or use the clickable links which now work in the PDF).
- a frank and honest letter from a serving police officer on the lack of incentive to cure of many of society’s ills. This is the first of a series on root causes which you are invited to contribute suggestions to – just reply to Jerome or me.
- an account by the late Dallas TenBroeck of how B.P.Wadia and others formed the early ULT Lodges in the US, India and Europe
- the lead article on the great feelings of unity and brotherhood that were brought about by the first 10 years of theosophical work of India, such as breaking down caste and race barriers and the formation of the Indian National Congress. Perhaps we can reflect on this to provide context for what are today’s challenges.
Wishing you a fruitful Spring season,
The Editors and Contributors

The First 10 Years in India & Now?
As a student of theosophy one should know what has been achieved through it’s influence. 
Looking at the years 1879 to 1889 we see the Theosophical Society made a significant impression on the lives of many, not only in America and Europe, but perhaps nowhere more so than in India, Ceylon and the Far East.
In late 1878 Mme H.P.Blavatsky and Col Olcott left the 27 year old William Judge alone in the USA but for General Doubleday and some other figures, all of whom later dropped out of active work.
“Our Three Objects” No.1 on Brotherhood
“When we arrived in India, in February, 1879, there was no unity between the races and sects of the Peninsula, no sense of a common public interest, no disposition to find the mutual relation between the several sects of ancient Hinduism, or that between them and the creeds of Islam, Jainism, Buddhism and Zoroastrianism.
