1.  To form a nucleus of the Universal Brotherhood of humanity without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or colour.
2.  To encourage the study of comparative religion, philosophy and science.
3.  To investigate unexplained laws of nature and the powers latent in man.

Members pay an annual subscription to their local Branch or to Headquarters and the first year’s subscription must be received with the Application form.  

You are encouraged to join the TS branch near you if there is one and they will be happy to help with your application.  Branches set their own subscription rates but generally these are not expensive. Financial hardship is not a barrier to membership and applicants who genuinely cannot afford the subscription may make an application in confidence to the Branch Treasurer. 

Please contact your nearest branch to let them know you would like to join, or contact Headquarters, and we will be happy to help.   Local branches i
