Does the TS encourage activism among its members?
The Society as such doesnt, for it has a neutral platform and doesnt affiliate with any other organisation, any group and any cause, save its own Objects, which represent the essence of its policy and its action. But it leaves its members entirely free to engage in any individual activity humanitarian, social or political that they may choose. Many members work through the Theosophical Order of Service (TOS), founded in 1908 by Annie Besant. Its motto is “The union of all who love, in the service of all that suffers.” The TOS does very commendable practical work in many countries in the areas of social work, education, promotion of world peace, animal welfare and healing, among others.
