The presentation will showcase the above-mentioned theme through an Odissi dance performance, highlighting how every individual perceives the One in different ways - Vishnu for Vaishnavas, Shiva for Shaivas, Devi for Shakteyas, and ParaBrahma for those who see the One in Vedanta.

This workshop explores the quiet inner world where all life meets and the subtle threads that connect us to the earth, to each other, and to the greater mystery from which everything arises. We do not stand apart from life â we are woven into it. We are not isolated individuals, but part of an evolving, living whole. âOne Heart and Interbeingâ invites participants to recognize how we are held, nourished, and shaped by the greater web of existence.

Celebrating 150 Years of Light and Legacy
In 1875, in a dimly lit room in New York City, two seekersâHelena Blavatsky and Henry Steel Olcott, a visionary reformerâlit a spark that would ignite minds across the world. They called it Theosophy, an ancient wisdom reborn, a path beyond dogma, beyond borders, beyond illusion.

In the beginning: GLOBAL MEDITATION
Throughout the first half of the twentieth century, the Theosophical Societyâs deep engagement with artistic practices generated a wide range of creative outcomes. Beyond the artistic activities nurtured within its lodges worldwide, the International Headquarters in Adyar became a vibrant centre of creative energy, where an early art residency once flourished.
