Theosophy Part Three

Morgan and Norm keep on with HPB and Henry Steele Olcott but now that they are in India, things are different. They cover the chum's rocky start, bad people skills, how Olcott took a left turn to becoming a white savior in Sri Lanka and how HPB got cancelled by the Society for Psychical Research. They touch on her seminal work, the Secret Doctrine, have a cameo by Mahatma Gandhi, how Olcott got his face on a postage stamp and what is the legacy Theosophy leaves today.
