Theosophy | New arrivals from Adyar

The Stanzas of Dzyan are the skeleton as it were, around and attached to which the massive body of H.P.Blavatsky's great work, The Secret Doctrine, is built up. ...

The Book from which the Stanzas have been taken, H.P.B. tells us, "is not in the possession of European libraries and is utterly unknown to our philologist, or at any rate was never heard of by them under its present name. The Book of Dzyan – from the Sanskrit word 'dhyana' (mystic meditation) – is the first volume of the Commentaries (in 14 volumes) upon the seven secret folios of Kiu-ti, and a glossary of the public works of the same name.
