Ananda Tara Shan

Ananda Tara Shan (1946-2002), born Jeanne Morashti, founded Den Iysende Cirkel, a lodge of the Theosophical Society in Denmark, in 1978, serving as its president. She considered running for election for the position of General Secretary of the Danish Section, however left the Society shortly after the founding of the lodge due to disagreements with the leadership. After breaking with the Theosophical Society, Ananda Tara Shan formed a variety of organizations, including The Society for Maitreya Theosophy, Rosenhaven (The Rose Garden), The Church of the Sacred Heart of Maitreya and Right Human Relations, before the founding of the Theosophical Fellowship in 1994.

Current status

After the passing of Ananda Tara Shan in 2002, the leadership of the Fellowship passed to her husband, Pauli T. Pallesen, the current President. The Fellowship remains active in Denmark and Australia to this day.
