[Leica] Theosophical Society Grounds

Thanks for looking.

The Theosophical Society was actually formed in New York and then relocated
to Chennai in the 1880s. The American wing split off again in the 1890s. It
was formed basically to spread the belief of Universal Brotherhood, and is
not a religion as such, though, like all such movements, it borrows heavily
from the philosophy of organized religion.
