In
a
mysterious
and
serene
forest-garden
in
the
heart
of
Adyar,
along
the
river
banks
lies
the
Theosophical
Society
of
Chennai.
Built
on
three
main
principles,
this
society
seeks
universal
brotherhood
without
distinction
on
race,
gender,
creed
or
any
other
factor.
Delve
into
their
gorgeous
gardens,
teeming
with
flaura
and
fawna
and
you
will
assuredly
have
quite
a
remarkable
evening.
Those
who
love
reading
and
learning
about
new
ideologies
and
life
philosophy,
will
find
this
Society
especially
interesting,
though
the
library
is
off
limits
to
tourists.
If
you
step
out
onto
the
garden
outside,
the
sounds
of
woodpeckers,
parakeets,
cuckoos
and
sparrows
singing
and
trilling
will
greet
your
ears.
Small
animal
species
that
are
unique
to
the
city
can
be
seen
scurrying
around
in
the
grass
and
playing
in
the
trees.
You
can
spot
jackals
and
mongoose,
as
well
as
other
small
animals.
The
main
attraction
is
a
huge,
450
years
old
Banyan
tree,
supposedly
the
oldest
in
the
world,
with
roots
covering
up
to
60,000
square
meters.
Strolling
through
the
garden
is
extremely
peaceful,
away
from
the
chaos
of
the
city
and
little
shrines
can
be
found
throughout.
Peace
will
engulf
you
as
you
study
nature
at
its
calmest,
so
be
sure
to
take
your
time
and
appreciate
all
the
beauty
around
you.
The
main
ideologies
of
the
Society
are;
To
form
a
nucleus
of
the
Universal
Brotherhood
of
Humanity,
without
distinction
of
race,
creed,
sex,
caste
or
color.
To
encourage
the
study
of
Comparative
Religion,
Philosophy
and
Science.
To
investigate
unexplained
laws
of
Nature
and
the
powers
latent
in
man.
