The Growth Of A World Religion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425345747)

""The Growth of a World Religion"" is a book written by Annie Besant that explores the development and evolution of the religion of Theosophy. Theosophy is a spiritual movement that originated in the late 19th century and is based on the belief that all religions are fundamentally the same and that there is a universal wisdom that underlies them all. Besant was a prominent Theosophist and this book is her attempt to trace the history of the movement from its earliest days to its global spread in the early 20th century. The book covers the key figures and ideas that shaped Theosophy, including Helena Blavatsky, the founder of the movement, and the various Theosophical societies that were established around the world. Besant also discusses the impact of Theosophy on other religious and philosophical traditions, such as Hinduism and Buddhism. Overall, ""The Growth of a World Religion"" is a comprehensive study of Theosophy and its place in the world of spirituality and religion.THIS 30 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Immediate Future, by Annie Besant.
