  Purucker Aisle
Gottfried de Purucker, Leader of the Theosophical Society from 1929 to 1942, revivified the Society's public work and sought to promote brotherhood in the theosophical movement.
One of a family of seven, Hobart Lorenz Gottfried von Purucker was born in Suffern, New York, on January 15, 1874.
Purucker sought throughout his life to bring to as many people as possible this "Vision Sublime" of the spiritual realities behind the material universe, of which each of us is an inseparable part, was his goal.

 "Gottfried de Purucker: A Biographical Sketch" by Sarah Belle Dougherty
de Purucker called on the members to do everything in their power to increase the circulation of theosophical publications, and exhorted them to "Declare yourselves boldly to be Theosophists, Fishers of the Souls of Men, and furthermore to be laborers in the great Cosmic Work of all time" (Second General Letter).
In 1930 Dr. de Purucker proposed an enlarged theosophical glossary which "must pass the test of scholarship and also meet the exacting test of fidelity to the universal wisdom-teaching as restated by H. Blavatsky" (Grace F. Knoche, Encyclopedic Theosophical Glossary, Introduction).
Shortly after Purucker's death in 1942, there appeared three collections of his material not yet in book form: Messages to Conventions (1943), containing official messages and letters concerning TS policies and purposes; Wind of the Spirit (1944), containing inspirational and practical writings; and Studies in Occult Philosophy (1945), deeper philosophical presentations of theosophy.

Purucker was primarily a scholar, and his approach to the affairs of the community turned out to be considerably more conservative than Katherine Tingley's.
Early in 1942, Purucker made the fateful decision to move from Point Loma, as he was disturbed by the deteriorating condition of the facilities there, the high taxes and cost of upkeep, and the proximity of naval gun positions.
Purucker's death shortly thereafter left the community leaderless, and it was not until 1945 that Arthur L. Conger, a retired army officer, was chosen as his successor.

 Occult Glossary: A Compendium of Oriental and Theosophical Terms by G. de Purucker
A longtime scholar of Occidental and Oriental languages and philosophies, Hobart Lorenz Gottfried de Purucker, M.A., D.Litt., occupied the chair of Hebrew and Sanskrit at Theosophical University and later became its President before becoming the head of the Theosophical Society from 1929 till his passing in 1942.
Purucker had a brilliance for explaining issues as clearly to the general reader as he did comprehensively to the serious student.
Purucker believed that the purpose in studying metaphysics was to develop our altruistic qualities and that the more a person understood the more he or she could pass on.

Through the years of his administration, Dr. de Purucker delivered a great number of public lectures, mostly in the Temple of Peace at Point Loma, and conducted members' and private meetings for the deeper study of the Esoteric Philosophy.

de Purucker was Head of The Theosophical Society with international headquarters currently at Pasadena, California, from 1929 to 1942.
Purucker's writings are distinguished by a coherent, panoramic presentation of the fundamental ideas of modern theosophy.
His approach and use of terminology ease the student's effort to arrive at his or her own evaluation and interpretation of theosophic, philosophic, religious, and scientific principles of all ages and cultures.

The Race of the Future theory/idea states that due to the process of miscegenation, the mixing of different ethnicities or races, especially in marriage, cohabitation, or sexual relations, all the races are blending to become one race in the future.
The idea was stated by Gottfried de Purucker, an author and theosophist.
When asked about intermarriage in 1930, he warned against it saying "the race of the future will be a composite, composed of the many different races on earth today.

These doctrines are a very welcome contrast with the hard and mechanical religious beliefs which arose out of the egoism of the crude Arabian tribes of that period.
Proof is the bringing of conviction to the mind, and this conviction is brought by a preponderance of evidence.
The cosmological sciences are the "Lesser Mysteries" and metaphysical knowledge the "Greater Mysteries" in whose light the "Lesser Mysteries" are usually absorbed, as the Alexandrian cosmological sciences were integrated into the perspective of Islamic gnosis.

From 1924 to 1927 Katherine Tingley sponsored a series of private studies in The Secret Doctrine with Dr. de Purucker as lecturer.
This record of the meetings provides an excellent introduction to H.P. Blavatsky's masterwork, yet it stands on its own as a clear restatement of the philosophy expounded by all great thinkers and sages.

 Notes on Madame Blavatsky's Baboon
Gottfried de Purucker (GdeP), a lifelong bachelor, was ascetic and scholarly, but not "suave" by most definitions.
As a student of and the successor to Katherine Tingley, he may be considered her "son" only in the sense of spiritual and intellectual mentorship.
Let G. de Purucker quote one of these precepts and make a few comments on it, as he did on this occasion, and it ceases to be a rule or a dictum and stands out before one's mental eye an indisputable and eternal truth.

She was succeeded by Tingley disciple and longtime Point Loma resident Gottfried de Purucker.
De Purucker lifted the rule of silence in the Raja Yoga Academy and stopped requiring students and residents to wear uniforms.
Besides foreclosure, a second reason given for the move was that activity at the nearby Naval Training Center had intensified in anticipation of U.S. entry into World War II, and de Purucker feared for the security of residents.

Purucker claimed that he was allowed to give out deeper esoteric teachings than HPB, Judge or Tingley had.
In 1884, Master KH wrote that "we have broken the silence of centuries" in giving out the teachings of Theosophy (as found in HPB's writings and the Masters' letters).

They formed the ‘Old Catholic Church’ and it was Gerart Gul, the Old Catholic Archbishop of Utrect, who in 1908 consecrated Arnold Mathew.
Mathew was an entertaining character who had once been a Dominican; but he renounced Rome in favor of the more attractive standing of ‘Count Provoleri di Vicenza, De Jur Earl of Llandaff,’ which title he coupled to the Old Catholic Bishopric of England.
Among his exploits was an attempt to set up a zoo at Brighton.

During this period Mundy worked mainly as de facto editor for the Jerusalem News, which entailed doing everything from proof reading to reporting.
Shortly after Gottfried de Purucker assumed leadership of the Point Loma Theosophists, Mundy novels like Om and Queen Cleopatra were dropped from their approved reading lists.(16) However this did not keep his books from being popular with Theosophists of other groups.
As a used book dealer, I am very familiar with Mundy volumes which turn up with resale stickers indicating that they were sold by various Theosophical mail order houses and bookstores.
