The Disputed Result of
the Adyar Theosophical Society 2014 Presidential Election
Should Members
Recognise
Tim Boyd
as International
President?
Given that considerable evidence has
been presented to the General council regarding malpractice in the 2014
presidential election, and that the General Council made themselves complicit
in the alleged malpractice by failing to act, the membership are now justified
in refusing to recognise Tim Boyd as the International President of the Adyar
Theosophical Society.
Evidence of voting irregularities and
other suspicious practices were presented to the General Council by a senior
Indian Section Council official some time before the conclusion of the election
process and announcement of the result. Despite this alert, the General Council
decided to collaborate with those involved in the alleged malpractice by doing
nothing, and therefore contrived to produce a result which cannot be trusted.
Looking at the allegation listed below
by Krishnaphani Kesiraju,
it is clear that without a proper investigation, the result should not have
been accepted and Tim Boyd should not now be recognised as International
President of the Adyar Theosophical Society.
Just look at the allegations
outlined below in Krishnaphani Kesiraju’s letter. How could the General Council
ignore the contents of this letter and claim that the election result is valid?

How many suitable

Despite decades
of decline and stagnation leading the
Adyar
Theosophical Society to the verge of evaporation
or
disintegration, the leadership have so far shown no
sign of coming up
with a strategy for ensuring the
continuation of
the Society as a unified body.
Adyar, the Sole Purpose of Adyar
Revealing that
the Adyar elite’s stately home is under threat
of compulsory
land purchase and can be saved by convincing the
authorities that
it is in fact an international headquarters (if true)
may have given
the Theosophical Society members a brilliant
opportunity to
get Adyar off their backs.
If not true then
it looks like blackmail
An overview of
the Adyar Theosophical Society
Expecting members
to vote for candidates while withholding
highly relevant
information indicates an utter contempt by
the leadership for the general membership

International Election Protocol
This is only an
idea for consideration but if the Theosophical elite
continue to treat
the members with the current levels of indifference and
contempt for the
duration of this election then the Adyar Theosophical
Society will be an empty shell by the time it is completed.
The secrecy with
which the Adyar Theosophical Society
leadership
conducts the Society’s affairs is legendary.
Is this secrecy
for its own sake or are some serious
issues being suppressed and kept beyond discussion?

Silence is
Killing the Adyar Theosophical Society.
The presidential
candidates are as much victims of the
General Council’s
silence rule as are the members.
The silence rule
also seeks to establish General Council

Council has abused its power
by putting itself
beyond accountability.
A new leadership is needed, and fast.
