The Swastika In The Theosophical Seal

By Arthur M. Coon

Book Overview

The Swastika In The Theosophical Seal is a book written by Arthur M. Coon that explores the history and symbolism of the swastika in the context of the Theosophical Society. The Theosophical Society is a spiritual organization founded in the late 19th century that aimed to promote unity among different religions and spiritual practices. The book delves into the origins of the swastika as a symbol of good luck and prosperity in many cultures, including ancient India and Native American tribes. However, the swastika became associated with the Nazi party during World War II, leading to its widespread condemnation and stigmatization in Western culture. The author argues that the swastika's original meaning and significance should not be forgotten or dismissed because of its association with the Nazis. Instead, he explores the use of the swastika in the Theosophical Society's seal, which features the symbol alongside other spiritual and religious imagery. The book provides a detailed analysis of the Theosophical Society's beliefs and practices, as well as its influence on spiritual and philosophical movements in the 20th century. Overall, The Swastika In The Theosophical Seal is a thought-provoking and informative exploration of a controversial symbol and its place in spiritual and cultural history.THIS 22 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Theosophical Seal, by Arthur M.
