Theosophical Society Pasadena
- Theosophical Society Pasadena
The Theosophical Society (Pasadena) is a successor organization to the original Theosophical Society founded by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and others in 1875. This successor organization, which after several name changes once again now titles itself simply the Theosophical Society, though often with the clarifying statement, "International Headquarters, Pasadena, California," traces its beginnings to 1895 and the Theosophical Society faction led by William Quan Judge as he and most of the Society's American Section withdrew, leaving the faction led by Henry Steel Olcott and Annie Besant, whose organization, based in India, is today known as the Theosophical Society - Adyar.
Judge led the organization arising from his faction for about a year after the split until his death, when Katherine Tingley became manager. She had the Society's headquarters transferred from New York City to Point Loma, California. Max Heindel was vice president during 1904 and 1905. Later managers include Gottfried de Purucker, 1929-42; Grace Knoche and currently Randell Grubb.
