PUBLIC WORKSHOP | The Use of Sanskrit in Theosophical Teachings

PUBLIC WORKSHOP | The Use of Sanskrit in Theosophical Teachings

• Facilitator: Adam Bowles
• Date: Saturday 26 September 2026
• Time: 10am - 4pm
• Location: Brisbane Theosophical Society | 355 Wickham Terrace, Spring Hill
  Explore the sacred language that shapes the Ancient Wisdom tradition.
• Sanskrit is still often considered one of the most sacred languages in the world. Much of what the Society calls the ‘Ancient Wisdom’ originally appeared in Sanskrit. Some Sanskrit words are used in English theosophical literature because no English word can do justice to their meanings in Sanskrit.
• This workshop will explore the ways in which prominent theosophists used Sanskrit in their writings. Beginning with some words that are commonly used, we shall discuss their meanings and pronunciation.
• Participants are encouraged to bring along passages or books about which they have questions for discussion in the workshop.
• Please join us for this unique opportunity to delve into the mystery and magic of this revered language.
  Adam Bowles is an Associate Professor in the School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry at the University of Queensland. He has worked on Sanskrit Literature for a number of decades, and is currently involved in translating the thirteenth book of the Mahabharata.
  Light refreshments will be provided and attendees are welcome to bring a vegetarian plate to share.
