Blavatsky H.P. - The Thersites of Freethought +

A sixteen-page pamphlet issued by the Theosophical Publication Society, 7 Duke Street, Strand, London, at twopence. [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] dates it approximately to autumn 1889: September in the chronological survey, October in the note accompanying the text. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - The Thersites of Freethought#418|BCW 11:418]], [[Zirkoff B. - Chronological Survey & Key to Abbrev (BCW vol.11)#xxvi|BCW 11:xxvi]]) +

Blavatsky H.P. - The Voice of the Silence +

Most of the text was written at Fontainebleau in July 1889, approximately 15–20 July. During her subsequent stay in Jersey, [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]] summoned [[Mead, George Robert Stow|G. R. S. Mead]] to read it. [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] dates publication to the latter part of September 1889. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Zirkoff B. - Chronological Survey & Key to Abbrev (BCW vol.11)#xxv|BCW 11:xxv-xxvi]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - The Eighth Wonder#355|BCW 11:355]]) +

Blavatsky H.P. - Theosophie et Bouddhisme +

The French version largely repeats The Theosophical Society: Its Mission and Its Future but contains additional thoughts and different formulations. BCW therefore provides an English translation of selected passages rather than the entire French text. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Theosophie et Bouddhisme#110|BCW 10:110]]) +

Blavatsky H.P. - Third Letter of H.P.B. to the Fourth Annual American Convention +

Delivered from memory by [[Keightley, Bertram|B. Keightley]] at the fourth annual convention of the American Section in Chicago, 27–28 April 1890, because [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]] was too ill to write her customary greeting. [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] considers her language well preserved in Keightley’s account. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Third Letter of H.P.B. to the Fourth Annual American Convention#151|BCW 12:151]]) +

Blavatsky H.P. - Thoughts on the Elementals +

Published by [[Besant, Annie|A. Besant]] in place of the ill [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]]’s editorial in May 1890; Besant stated that it had been written more than two years earlier. Reprinted in June 1896 as “Spirits” of Various Kinds with additional paragraphs, which BCW inserts with editorial markers. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Thoughts on the Elementals#187|BCW 12:187]]) +

Blavatsky H.P. - Tibetan Teachings +

Connected with the Chohan-Lama’s response to questions about the after-death state arising from discussion of A. Lillie’s book. Originally intended for The Theosophist, it first appeared in Lucifer in 1894; the continuation indicated at its close has not been located. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Tibetan Teachings#94|BCW 6:94-95]]) [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] dates its composition to the latter part of 1883. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Zhelihovsky V.P. - From the Polar Lands#252|BCW 13:252]]) [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] identifies matching paragraphs in sections XLVII and XLIX of the posthumous third volume of The Secret Doctrine. He treats their possible connection with the continuation of Tibetan Teachings promised by the editors of Lucifer as a hypothesis, not an established attribution. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Zirkoff B. - The Secret Doctrine - Volume III#xxxii|BCW 14:xxxii-xxxiv]]) +

Blavatsky H.P. - To All Theosophists. The Esoteric Section of The Theosophical Society and its Enemies +

Issued as a separate sixteen-page pamphlet dated London, 21 June 1889, with type and format matching Lucifer. BCW reproduces a copy from a private collection. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - To All Theosophists. The Esoteric Section of The Theosophical Society and its Enemies#306|BCW 11:306]]) +

Blavatsky H.P. - Transactions of the Blavatsky Lodge of The Theosophical Society +

The two parts appeared around March 1890 and January 1891. Part I covers the January 1889 meetings; Part II covers 7 February-14 March. In his letter to H. T. Edge of 7 October 1931, [[Kingsland, William|W. Kingsland]] confirmed that [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]] revised the answers before publication: they are authentic but not verbatim transcripts. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Transactions of the Blavatsky Lodge of The Theosophical Society#298|BCW 10:298-300]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Transactions of the Blavatsky Lodge of The Theosophical Society#298|BCW 10:298]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Transactions of the Blavatsky Lodge of The Theosophical Society#300|BCW 10:300]]) +

Blavatsky H.P. - Transmigration of the Life-Atoms +

A reply to N. D. Khandalawala’s letter, first published in The Theosophist, August 1883, pp. 286-288. Quotations within it derive from the first instalment of Fragments of Occult Truth, October 1881, pp. 17-22. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - The Life Principle#75|BCW 9:75]]) +

Blavatsky H.P. - Why I Do not Return to India +

The original open letter survived in the Adyar Archives. N. D. Khandalavala, who was permitted to copy it, stated in 1898 that the original intention to circulate it among Indian members had not been carried out. [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] accepts testimony that [[Keightley, Bertram|B. Keightley]] took the letter to India in summer 1890. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Why I Do not Return to India#156|BCW 12:156-157]]) +

Blavatsky H.P. - Wurzburg Manuscript +

An early draft of The Secret Doctrine preserved at Adyar in a copy in [[Wachtmeister, Constance|C. Wachtmeister]]’s handwriting. [[Jinarajadasa, Curuppumullage|C. Jinarajadasa]] published parts in The Theosophist in 1931–1933. The concluding portion of “To the Readers”, obtained from the archives in January 1978, was first printed in volume XIV of the Collected Writings. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Zirkoff B. - The Secret Doctrine - Volume III#xxvii|BCW 14:xxvii-xxix]]; [[BCW|BCW editors]], [[Zirkoff B. - Appendices (BCW vol.14)#457|BCW 14:457]], [[Zirkoff B. - Appendices (BCW vol.14)#469|BCW 14:469]]) +

Blavatsky Theosophical Society of Washington +

Filed a certificate of incorporation in the District of Columbia on 8 July 1889. The following day’s Washington Post named A. Higgins, R. Savage, N. Savage and M. Musaeus as managers. [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]] welcomed the legal protection of the Society’s name. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Miscellaneous Notes (55)#384|BCW 11:384]]) +

Blavatsky Writings Publication Fund +

Established with support from contributors in several countries who preferred to remain anonymous; their financial help made publication of Volume VI of [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]]’s Collected Writings possible. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Zirkoff B. - Foreword (BCW vol.6)|BCW 6:xxiii]]) +

Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna +

She was the main source of Theosophical teachings and discussed the major themes of Theosophy in many articles and several major works, including ''Isis Unveiled'', ''The Secret Doctrine'', ''The Key to Theosophy'', and ''The Voice of the Silence''. She was co-founder of The Theosophical Society. The bibliography lists the first draft of The Secret Doctrine (1886), its posthumous third volume (1897), The Key to Theosophy (1889), and From the Caves and Jungles of Hindostan (BCW [[SMW::off]][[Zirkoff B. - Appendix (BCW vol.10)#413|10:413]][[SMW::on]]). In July 1877 [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]] and [[Olcott, Henry Steel|H. S. Olcott]] helped a group of thirteen stranded Arabs return to their homeland ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Zirkoff B. - Chronological Survey & Key to Abbreviations (BCW vol.1)#lxi|BCW 1:lxi]]). [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] proposes two interpretations of the first element in the pseudonym Radda-Bai: Rādhā, the name of Krishna’s beloved, or rāddha, “accomplished” or “initiated.” He tentatively connects the signature Sanjna, used for Karmic Visions, with the Buddhist term saṃjñā, perception. ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Chinese Shadows#29|BCW 9:29]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Karmic Visions#339|BCW 9:339]]) Spent several weeks in Brighton in February–March 1890 recuperating from illness. On 16 August attended the opening of the Working Women’s Club in London’s East End.

Blavatsky]]. His service record indicates civilian rather than military service ([[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Zirkoff B. - Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, General Outline of her Life Prior to her Public Work#xxxv|BCW 1:xxxv-xxxvi]]). +

Blavatsky’s Simla Phenomena +

Reports of unusual occurrences during [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]]’s stay at Simla in autumn 1880 include the appearance of a cup and saucer, a brooch and letters.
