B-I-F's new guru, Swami Dayanand (poisoned at age of 59). His disciple, Madame Blavatsky, founder of The Theosophical Society, wrote:
ReplyDelete"Really I do not know how to answer your question about Mrs. Gebhard. Of course she deserves if any to receive direct instructions from the Masters. But how can K. H. go to her—a woman? Don’t you know the strict prohibition? Besides Boss (Swami Dayananda) forbids me talking on those subjects. He blew me up several times for talking too much and telling you of things I knew nothing much myself—as about this darned “Moon” question. I was abused more than I ever was for this when the question of the moon—“dust bin” came out. It’s all that wretched Wyld. His answer is so stupid that I will not even notice it. “Mr. B.” indeed! Mr. B. is of course Dayanand who is referred to as Mr. B. in his silly letter in Light. Ah yes! “Mr. B . . . is rapidly disintegrating and become rotten and must no doubt shortly die out altogether,” and “Mr. B.” or Dayanand has very rapidly disintegrated and is just dead on Oct. 30th last as prophesied 18 months ago. Wyld may laugh. But he is disintegrating and rapidly dying out himself—the fool!"

During 1879 Dayanand met, first at Saharanpore and afterwards at Meerut, Colonel Olcott and Madame Blavatsky, founders of the world-known Theosophical Society, and it is stated that at the latter place, on May 4, Colonel Olcott in a public address said that he and Madame "had come to India accepting the Swami as their guru and guide." By the end of 1880 a complete disagreement was found to exist between Swami-ji and bis American "disciples" in respect to their views about the existence of God, Colonel Olcott and Madame Blavatsky having openly avowed that they had no faith in God. A rupture between the Arya Samaj and the Theosophical Society became inevitable, angry passions were aroused, both sides indulged in accusations and recriminations. Swami Dayanand denounced his quondam American disciples in no measured terms as dangerous atheists, and taking the world into his confidence gave various instances of the duplicity of the Colonel and his companion in their dealings with himself and the Arya Samaj.
What Swami Dayanand aimed at can be best understood by the preface of his work Satyartha Prakhash (The light of Truth). He says: "It is a well-known fact that 5000 years ago there existed no other religion in the whole world but the Vedic." This is the basic principle from which he took his start.
