The '''[[Founding of the Theosophical Society]]''' is celebrated on [[November 17|November 17th]] as '''Founders' Day''' or '''Foundation Day'''. Theosophists around the world remember the events of 1875 when [[Helena Petrovna Blavatsky|Helena P. Blavatsky]], [[Henry Steel Olcott|Henry S. Olcott]], [[William Quan Judge|William Q. Judge]], and others formed the Society in New York City, with an inaugural address by President [[Henry Steel Olcott|Olcott]] taking place on November 17th.
'''[[Pralaya]]''' is a concept within the cyclic model of the universe in which the cosmos is said to appear and disappear regularly within the Absolute Reality. This Sanskrit word means "dissolution" or "melting away." In Hinduism, it refers to a period where the universe is in a state of non-existence, which happens when the three gunas or qualities of matter are in perfect balance. [[H. P.
