Sunday May 8th
White Lotus Day
White Lotus Celebration
Members Only
This Sunday (May 8th) is White Lotus
Day on which Theosophists worldwide celebrate the life of H P Blavatsky on
the nearest Sunday to the anniversary of her death on
The White Lotus Ceremony is members only
and will take place at
The meaning of White Lotus Day is summed
up in the White Lotus Address
White Lotus Address
Madame Blavatsky requested that there be a day in each
year set aside to recall the Society itself to think that out of the grossness,
out of the chaos of things dark, in due season grew a very precious flower,
something which gave birth to a new movement. May 8th is called White Lotus Day
after the East Indian lotus symbol of the flower of perfection, which grows
from the waters and the grossness of life.
Let us once in the year, see what this Society is
about, what it has done and can do. It has been the builder of a far greater
pattern than any one person in it knows anything about. It may not be making a great noise,it may not be doing the things that we look at as so
important in life, but it is actually by its very preoccupation with ideas, by
the people whom it sends out, it is forming a nucleus for the universal
brotherhood of mankind. It does actually set something alight on inner planes,
and these contacts are the most priceless things in life. Curious initiations
go on all the time among such people.
Simply to talk about these things, — the talk spreads
from one to another, and it goes out, and disciples who had forgotten their
teachers, and teachers who had almost forgotten their disciples remember, and
old links are re-established, and we make the world anew.

Lughnasa is a harvest festival, marking the end of the period of
summer growth and the beginning of the autumn harvest. It is also called Lammas,
from the Anglo-Saxon hlaef-mass meaning 'loaf-mass'.
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle of 921 CE mentions it as 'the feast of first fruits'.
It was a popular Christian ritual during the Middle
Ages but died out after the Reformation, though the custom is being revived in
places. This first bread from the harvest was offered up as part of the
Eucharist ritual. Since Lammas was celebrated only in
