Ancient Wisdom. In Search of Truth

Annie Besant is primarily known as the first student and follower of Helena Blavatsky. At the same time, she combined her activities in the Theosophical Society with an active fight for the rights of the poor and women, participation in the political movement for India's independence, and the founding of Masonic lodges in different parts of the British Empire. Her acquaintance with Helena Blavatsky's "Secret Doctrine," and later with its author, determined Annie Besant's fate. Another milestone in her development as a theosophist was her collaboration with Charles Leadbeater. Together they studied the issues of past lives and the “subtle matter” of the Universe, as well as wrote several esoteric works. Annie Besant saw her mission in the field of theosophy as an enlightenment work and the popularization of the ideas of this teaching. In her books, she presented the essence of theosophy and its main principles in an accessible way. Many of Annie Besant's key works that reveal the most important and relevant issues of theosophy are included in this collection. May their light be your guide to true Knowledge and the millennia-old wisdom of the East!
