anniversary of the death of h.p Blavatsky 8 may 1891
"This is the last will and testament of me, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky of Adyar, Madras India. I desire my body to be burned on the Compound of the Theosophical Society's Headquarters at Adyar, Madras, and the ashes to be buried in the said Compound and that none who are not Theosophists shall be present at the burning. I desire that yearly, on the anniversary of my death, some of my friends shall assemble at the Headquarters of the Theosophical Society and read a chapter of Edwin Arnold's Light of Asia and Bhagavad GĪta."
