Abstract The Theosophical Society was a late 19th century affective community that brought together people who were unlikely to meet under other circumstances. Theosophical branches overcame the centrifugal forces of distance, nationalism, and religion. The allure was spiritual development and universal brotherhood. Blavatsky and Olcott drew on Buddhist concepts to create a transidiomatic world of adepts living high in the Himalayas and their followers. Dharmapala remained committed to those specifically Buddhist adepts throughout his life. His renunciation aside, he even contemplated what Theosophists call "spiritual marriage." The overcoded relationship of Buddhism and Theosophy generally made it possible for Dharmapala to move easily between them. Spiritual marriage did not.
