Blavatsky]] and accompanied the children when they moved to their relatives in the Caucasus ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Zirkoff B. - Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, General Outline of her Life Prior to her Public Work#xxxi|BCW 1:xxxi,xxxiv]]). +

Kukkuta Padagiri +

Called also ''Gurupadagiri'', the “teacher’s mountain”. It is situated about seven miles from Gaya, and is famous owing to a persistent report that Arhat Mahâkâsyapa even to this day dwells in its caves [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Kuklos Anagkes +

Lit., “The Unavoidable Cycle” or the “Circle of Necessity”‐. Of the numerous catacombs in Egypt and Chaldea the most renowned were the subterranean crypts of Thebes and Memphis. The former began on the Western side of the Nile extending toward the Libyan desert, and were known as the ''serpents''’ (Initiated Adepts) catacombs. It was there that the Sacred Mysteries of the ''Kuklos Anagkês ''were performed, and the candidates were acquainted with the inexorable laws traced for every disembodied soul from the beginning of time. These laws were that every reincarnating Entity, casting away its body should pass from this life on earth unto another life on a more subjective plane, a state of bliss, unless the sins of the personality brought on a complete separation of the higher from the lower “principles” ; that the “circle of necessity” or the ''unavoidable cycle ''should last a given period (from one thousand to even three thousand years in a few cases), and that when closed the Entity ''should return to its mummy'', i.e., to a new incarnation. The Egyptian and Chaldean teachings were those of the “Secret Doctrine” of the Theosophists. The Mexicans had the same. Their demi‐god, Votan, is made to describe in ''Popol Vu ''(see de Bourbourg’s work) the ''ahugero de colubra ''which is identical with the “Serpent’s Catacombs”, or passage, adding that it ran underground and “terminated at the root of heaven”, into which ''serpent’s hole, ''Votan was, admitted because he was himself “a son of the Serpents”, or a ''Dragon of Wisdom'', i.e., an Initiate. The world over, the priest‐adepts called themselves “Sons of the Dragon” and “Sons of the Serpent‐god” [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Kumara +

A virgin boy, or young celibate. The first Kumâras are the seven sons of Brahmâ born out of the limbs of the god, in the so‐called ninth creation. It is stated that the name was given to them owing to their formal refusal to “procreate their species”, and so they “remained Yogis”, as the legend says [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

(BCW [[SMW::off]][[Zirkoff B. - Appendix (BCW vol.5)#377|5:377]][[SMW::on]]). His name replaces the erroneous “Kulluka Bhatta” in a reference to an interpretation of a myth: [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] cites a correspondent’s correction in The Theosophist. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Do the Rishis Exist#366|BCW 4:366]]) +

Kundu, Eshan Chandra +

This name credited to the publications in ''The Theosophist'', [[Theosophist/Vol6|vol. 6]] (1884–1885). +

Kunti +

The wife of Pandu and the mother of the Pandavas, the heroes and the foes of their cousins the Kauravas, in the ''Bhagavad‐gita''. It is an allegory of the Spirit‐Soul or Buddhi. Some think that Draupadi, the wife in common of the five brothers, the Pandavas, is meant to represent Buddhi: but this is not so, for Draupadi stands for the ''terrestrial life ''of the Personality. As such, we see it made little of, allowed to be insulted and even taken into slavery by Yudhishthira, the ''elder ''of the Pandavas and her chief lord, who represents the Higher Ego with all its qualifications [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +
