Helena Petrovna Blavatsky founded in 1875 the Theosophical Society in New York. She acted on assignment of her teachers, indicated by the name of 'Masters of Wisdom and Compassion'. With their views they supplied, a foundation was laid to achieve twentieth century thinking. H.P. Blavatsky died in 1891 after many years of self-abnegation, disappointment, revilement and physical suffering. She left a voluminous number of writings behind, of which the theosophical standard work The Secret Doctrine is the most well known. Theosophy considers itself as a synthesis of science, philosophy and religion, which are seen as three different ways to investigate and explain life.
