Summary

Tallapragada Subba Row (July 6, 1856 - June 24, 1890) was a mystic and a Theosophist from a Hindu background.
In 1882, he invited Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and Henry Steel Olcott to Madras (now Chennai), where he convinced them to make Adyar the permanent headquarters for the Theosophical Society. Upon this meeting and thereafter, Subba Row became able to recite whatever passage was so requested of him from the Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, and many other sacred texts of India. He had, apparently, never studied these things prior to the fateful meeting, and it is stated that when meeting Blavatsky and Damodar K. Mavalankar, all knowledge from his previous lives came flooding back.
Among the many memorable works he left to humanity, they include his commentaries on the Bhagavad Gita, Esoteric Writings, and his Collected Writings in two volumes.
The short essay The Virgin of the World, that we propose to our readers today, was included in the Subba Row’s Collection of Esoteric Writings, published for the Bombay Theosophical Publication Fund by Rajaram Tookaram in Bombay in 1910.

    It's not just what you say, but how you say it. Good communicators know this, but it's often easier said than done. Teachers, leaders, and speakers are often left bewildered, wondering why the content that was so carefully planned and delivered seems to fall flat with the audience. The art of communication requires more than the transfer of information; it both connects with and engages the hearer. To communicate well, speakers must understand both their audience and themselves. 
     
     
     
    Speaking by the Numbers offers a strategy that combines communication principles with Enneagram wisdom to help leaders, pastors, and teachers understand how to convey content in ways that both inspire and connect with their audiences. Using the Enneagram wisdom of triads and stances, communicators can learn insight into the ways that various Enneagram numbers receive and process information. Sean Palmer draws from his extensive experience as a public speaker to develop communication strategies that lead to connection, transformation, and mobilization of audiences. Providing real examples of speeches he has given, Palmer shows how he uses the Enneagram to craft a message that connects with his audience. 
     
     
     
    A healthy marriage of Enneagram wisdom and communication skill can help us speak with clarity into the heart of where people live, love, and experience life.

    The true story of the life of Jesus of Nazareth has never been unfolded to the world, either in the accepted Gospels or in the Apocrypha, although a few stray hints may be found in some of the commentaries written by the ante-Nicene Fathers. The facts concerning His identity and mission are among the priceless mysteries preserved to this day in the secret vaults beneath the "Houses of the Brethren." To a few of the Knights Templars, who were initiated into the arcana of the Druses, Nazarenes, Essenes, Johannites, and other sects still inhabiting the remote and inaccessible fastnesses of the Holy Land, part of the strange story was told. The knowledge of the Templars concerning the early history of Christianity was undoubtedly one of the main reasons for their persecution and final annihilation. The discrepancies in the writings of the early Church Fathers not only are irreconcilable, but demonstrate beyond question that even during the first five centuries after Christ these learned men had for the basis of their writings little more substantial than folklore and hearsay. To the easy believer everything is possible and there are no problems. The unemotional person in search of facts, however, is confronted by a host of problems with uncertain factors.

    "The ends justify the means."
    
    What does it truly take to win and maintain power? In The Prince, Niccolò Machiavelli strips away the pretenses of "noble" leadership to reveal the ruthless mechanics of governing. Dedicated to Lorenzo de' Medici, this work serves as a practical handbook for a new ruler. Machiavelli argues that a successful prince must be as cunning as a fox and as fierce as a lion. He explores the delicate balance of Virtù (the ability of a leader) and Fortuna (the whims of fate), providing timeless—and often shocking—advice on everything from managing advisors to the necessity of strategic cruelty.
    
    Realpolitik at Its Source: Machiavelli was the first to separate politics from traditional Christian ethics. He famously asks whether it is better to be loved or feared, concluding that while being both is ideal, if one must choose, it is "much safer to be feared than loved"—as long as one avoids being hated.
    
    Virtù vs. Fortuna: The novel introduces the groundbreaking concept that a leader's success depends on their ability to adapt their character to the times. A prince must be flexible, prepared to act "against faith, against charity, against humanity" if the survival of the state is at stake.
    
    Why It Is Still Essential: From corporate boardrooms to modern campaign offices, The Prince remains the foundational text for understanding how the world actually works. It is a masterclass in strategy, human psychology, and the uncompromising logic of success.
