The Garden of Remembrance in the Adyar headquarters of the Theosophical Society is a lovely setting built to honor the lives of important leaders of the Society. Ashes from each of the presidents of the Society after the first, Colonel Henry Steel Olcott, are present, along with Charles Webster Leadbeater.
