White Lotus Day is a celebration of Theosophists. It is celebrated on 8 May, the death anniversary of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, the founder of the Theosophical Society. White Lotus Day is a celebration that encourages meditation about the metaphor of the lotus. The lotus is born under the mud, rises to the surface through water, and hence has access to air and sunlight. This development is identified with the life of man, who is born on earth but desires to ascend into the air, representing his intermediate stage between animals and ultimate reality. Lotus seeds are said to have fully formed leaves (even before they germinate). This flower is often present in Eastern religions, which were major influences in the Theosophical movement.

She is said to be the child of the universe, who bears the likeness of her mother in her lap. There was a time when the world was a golden lotus (Padma) says the metaphor. A huge variety of these plants, from the majestic Indian lotus to the marsh-lotus (bird's-foot trefoil) and the Grecian Dioscorides, the lotus fruit, flowers and root are eaten in Crete and other islands. It is a species of Nymphala, said to have been first introduced into Egypt from India, where it was not native.

What writes history is the power of ideas. And every moment provides the ability to write something new
Inaction in an act of mercy becomes an act of deadly sin
To listen softly, to judge kindly.-Shakespeare. Quoted by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky.
A Hindu is a born mystic, and the luxurious nature of his country has made him an ardent pantheist

Knowledge resides in minds filled with other people's thoughts, wisdom resides in minds that are attentive to their own thoughts.
The end of man is an action, not an idea, although it was the best.
The English language is used because it provides the widest medium for expressing the truths which it has become its duty to put before the world.
Esoteric philosophy teaches that everything is alive and conscious, but not that all life and consciousness are identical to that of human or even animal beings.
Our modern science accepts a Supreme Power, an invisible Principle, but denies a Supreme Being, or personal God.

The Kalmaks and some tribes of Siberia also describe in their legends creations even earlier than our present race. These beings, they say, were endowed with almost unlimited knowledge, and in their audacity they even threatened rebellion against the Great Chief Spirit.

They think that their magicians sometimes enjoy the divine powers which all human beings possess originally.
Whatever level our consciousness is operating at, both we and the things associated with that level are our only realities.
