Tekels Park is
now being sold to a property development company by the Theosophical Society in
England, who are showing an apparent indifference to the fate of the wildlife,
that is in conflict with the long
tradition of compassion for animals within the Theosophical Movement.

drainage pipe and the water was removed in buckets (400 in all) so as not to
harm the frogs and newts, which were rescued and returned later to the pond.

Who Has Decided
To Dump Tekels Park ?
The whole deal is shrouded in so much secrecy
that even the majority of the Theosophical Society’s actual card carrying
members don’t appear to know what is happening but here are some contact
points.
Tekels Park is owned by;
The Theosophical Society in England (Adyar)
London W1U-8EA
Tel 0207 563 9817
Please note that there is more than one
Theosophical Society. Only the Theosophical Society with its headquarters at
Gloucester Place, London is connected to Tekels Park. This is generally known
as the Theosophical Society (Adyar) as its international headquarters are in
Adyar, India.
The Theosophical Society administers the Tekels
Park Estate through a limited company
The Tekels Park Estate Limited
4-6 Church Road, Burgess Hill,
RH15 9AE,
Members of the Theosophical Society in England are
at a loss to know why the leadership ignored professional advice in 2009 not to
sell Tekels Park. Selling at such a bad time puts the Theosophical Society in
England’s leadership in a very weak negotiating position. Nobody outside the
leadership has seen the detailed financial information on which the decision to
sell Tekels Park
is based.
