Theosophical Society Adyar

The Theosophical Survey of India, or Theosophy Society - Adyar is a successor organization to the original Theosophical Society founded by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and others in 1875. Adyar, an area of Chennai where its headquarters is located, traces its beginnings to 1895 and the Theosophical Society faction headed by Henry Steel Olcott and Annie Besant after the faction led by William Quan Judge left to form its own organization. That other organization today titles itself simply the Theosophical Society, though often with the clarifying statement, "International Headquarters, Pasadena, California".
