Adyar: The Masters' Home. The Story of its History, Land and People

Adyar: The Masters' Home. The Story of its History, Land and People. Compiled by Geetha Jaikumar

Adyar: A Sanctuary of Light, Blessed by the Masters
The Adyar estate is far more than a mere physical location — it is consecrated ground, touched by the unseen presence of the Masters and enriched by the devotion of generations of theosophists. From the moment the Founders, Colonel Henry Steel Olcott and Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, first set foot on its soil in 1882, it became a haven of inspiration and spiritual service, radiating a quiet influence that continues to touch seekers across the world.

The book recalls Adyar's formative years, when scattered parcels of land slowly merged into a unified whole, and life, though simple and without modern comforts, was suffused with dedication, fellowship, and the guiding hand of the Masters. Anecdotes, memories, and long-forgotten details bring alive both momentous occasions and everyday happenings, revealing Adyar's enduring spirit as a living centre of inner life.

Published to mark the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Theosophical Society, this work is both a tribute and an invitation — to rediscover Adyar not merely as a place, but as a sacred landscape, a historic centre of Theosophy, and an eternal wellspring of beauty and inspiration for seekers of truth everywhere.
