Subject: THEOSOPHICAL DOCTRINES REGARDING THE PERSONAL GOD AND HEAVEN AS DELUSIONAL OR ILLUSORY...
AND THE PERSONAL 'GODS' OF THE HINDUS AND CHRISTIANS ETC. AS DARK MA MO COHANS.

GLEANED FROM THE DEBATE BETWEEN HH BHAKTI ANANDA GOSWAMI AND LEADERS OF THE THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY

SRILA PRABHUPADA...

"The dangerous Mayavada theory set forth by Sankaracarya -- that God is impersonal -- does not tally with the injunctions of the Vedas. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu therefore described the Mayavadi philosophers as the greatest offenders against the Personality of Godhead. According to the Vedic system, one who does not abide by the orders of the Vedas is called a nastika, or atheist." (SB 4.21.27 purport)"
 

"What have we, the disciples of the true Arhats, of esoteric Buddhism and of Sang-gyas to do with the Shasters and Orthodox Brahmanism? There are 100 of thousands of Fakirs, Sannyasis and Saddhus leading the most pure lives, and yet being as they are, on the path of error, never having had an opportunity to meet, see or even hear of us. Their forefathers have driven away the followers of the only true philosophy upon earth away from India and now, it is not for the latter to come to them but to them to come to us if they want us. Which of them is ready to become a Buddhist, a Nastika [SEE SRILA PRABHUPADA'S USE OF THIS WORD ABOVE]  as they call us? . . . Faith in the Gods and God, and other superstitions attracts millions of foreign influences, living entities and powerful agents around them, with which we would have to use more than ordinary exercise of power to drive them away. We do not choose to do so. We do not find it either necessary or profitable to lose our time waging war to the unprogressed Planetaries who delight in personating gods and sometimes well known characters who have lived on earth. "

"...so the light of the Dhyan Chohans [THE THEOSOPHICAL MASTERS]and their pure intelligence is contrasted by the 'Ma-Mo Chohans' -- and their destructive intelligence. These are the gods the Hindus and Christians and Mahomed and all others of bigoted religions and sects worship. . . . "

THE ARE THE WORDS OF THE FICTIONAL THEOSOPHICAL MASTER / MAHATMA  "Morya".
 

****************************************
THE MAHATMAS' TEACHING ...

"Neither our philosophy nor ourselves believe in a God, least of all in one whose pronoun necessitates a capital G. . . . we deny God both as philosophers and as Buddhists. We know there are planetary and other spiritual lives, and we know there is in our system no such thing as God, either personal or impersonal. Parabrahm is not a God, but absolute immutable law, and Iswar is the effect of Avidya and Maya, ignorance based upon the great delusion. . . ."

H P B has in one place stated: "Impersonality and non-duality is theultimate end of cosmic evolution." [Can the Mahatmas be Selfish? H PB Articles, Vol. I p 322.]

 NO PERSONAL GOD OR INCARNATE SAVIOR...

EXTRACT 1

". . . A new and rapidly growing danger. . . is threatening . . . the spread of the pure Esoteric Philosophy and knowledge. . . . I allude to those charlatanesque imitations of Occultism and Theosophy. . . . By pandering to the prejudices of people, and especially by adopting the false ideas of a personal God and a personal, carnalized Saviour, as the groundwork of their teaching, the leaders of this 'swindle' (for such it is) are endeavoring to draw men to them and in particular to turn Theosophists from the true path."

HPB COMPLAINS OF TEACHINGS BEING STOLEN FROM HER / MAHATMAS !

". . . A close examination will assuredly reveal. . . materials largely stolen . . . from Theosophical writings. . . [and] distorted and falsified so as to be palmed off on the unwary as revelations of new and undreamed of truths. But many will neither have the time nor the opportunity for such a thorough investigation; and before they become aware of the imposture they may be led far from the Truth. . . . Nothing is more dangerous to Esoteric Truth than the garbled and distorted versions disfigured to suit the prejudices and tastes of men in general." H. P. Blavatsky, E.S. Instruction No. I., 1889
 

HPB, IN THE DISGUISE OF HER MAHATMAS, BATTLED THEOSOPHISTS WHO TRIED TO TOLERATE OR INTRODUCE THEISM...

EXTRACT 2

"I dread the appearance in print of our philosophy as expounded by Mr. H[ume]. I read his three essays or chapters on God (?) cosmogony and glimpses of the origin of things in general, and had to cross out nearly all. He makes of us Agnostics!! We do not believe in God because so far, we have no proof, etc. This is preposterously ridiculous: if he publishes what I read, I will have H.P.B. or Djual Khool deny the whole thing; as I cannot permit our sacred philosophy to be so disfigured. He says that people will not accept the whole truth; that unless we humour them with a hope that there may be a 'loving Father and creator of all in heaven' our philosophy will be rejected a priori. In such a case the less such idiots hear of our doctrines the better for both. If they do not want the whole truth and nothing but the truth, they are welcome. But never will they find us -- (at any rate) -- compromising with, and pandering to public prejudices." Master Koot Hoomi, The Mahatma Letters, 2nd ed., Letter 54
