But only once is it about the God of Christians. True, the intonation is traditional and mocking – it is customary for Theosophists to contrast the evil deeds of Christians with their sermons about the "God of Love": "Urusvati knows how especially cruel religious strife is. It is necessary not to interfere in disputes about religions. It is necessary to do good, and let people not devour one another in the name of the Merciful God" (Supermundane, 564).

In all other cases, it is obvious that the deity mentioned is in no way the God of Christian Revelation. "We build altars to the Unknown God (Supermundane, 611). " Krishna is God" (Supermundane, 664). "It is unreasonable to think that the Gods sent diseases as a punishment" (Supermundane, 186). "The great gift of the Gods... We should be grateful to the Gods" (Supermundane, 200). "It is not the Gods who hasten to take revenge on people" (Supermundane, 205). "They believe that the Gods can accept hired prayers" (Supermundane, 244). "I thank the Gods" (Supermundane, 307). "The gods send misfortunes" (339). "Betrayal is not forgiven by the Gods" (Supermundane, 403). "There may also be miraculous excretions, which are called the food of the gods" (Supermundane, 430).

These are all the passages with the use of the word "God" in the "Supermundane" indicated by the authors of the "Symphony". So who is the falsifier? The editors of the Symphony, who put forward references to pagan gods as proof that Agni Yoga speaks of the Christian God, or I?

I checked the word "creator" in the last two books of the Agni Yoga series.

In the "Brotherhood" the word "Creator" is not mentioned even once. But one day the word "creator" comes across, with a small letter and referring to a person. In the "Supermundane" the word "creator" in 9 cases is written with a small letter, it refers not to God, but to man. A typical case of such usage is "Let the family and school create future workers and creators (839); " man is the creator of poisons" (413). Once it is written – "Creator", and even more – precisely in application to Christ ("The Great Wayfarer")! Alas, in this case, too, we are not talking about the fact that Christ is the Creator of the Cosmos. From the text of paragraph (151) it follows that He was only involved in the world of art... But this does not prevent my critics from including all these uses of the word "creator" in the statistics designed to convince me that the Agni Yogi books carry the message of God the Creator!

So who is the falsifier?

And the last thing: according to the "statisticians", in Roerich's books "On the whole, Christian terminology surpasses the Hindu and Buddhist ones in terms of frequency". The word "karma" – from which lexicon: Christian or Hindu? So, this word occurs 62 times only in "The Supermundane". This is more than the use of any specifically Christian term in all 14 books of Agni Yoga.

The word "aura" - from what lexicon: Christian or occult? But only in the "Supermundane" it occurs 34 times (the name of Christ is mentioned in this book only 4 times[585]).

Maybe the "statisticians" lied calmly and smilingly. Or perhaps they are sincere: simply, having been trained in the school of Theosophy, they have forgotten how to count and read.

18. ROERICHS, MYALO AND CHURCHLINESS

Ksenia Myalo once fought for "socialism with a human face", now for "Roerich's reading of Orthodoxy". And she always did it in a journalistic way. The intrusions of Xenia Myalo, who is unable to distinguish between a sexton and a deacon, are remarkable only in that they remind us that even in theology there is a place for a smile.

The most serious theological questions related to the interpretation of the Bible and church history, which were touched upon in my book, also did not attract the attention of Myalo.

Not a word was said to Myalo about the completely mutually exclusive interpretations of original sin in the Orthodox and occult traditions. Nor did it consider worthy of its attention the comparison of the meanings that Orthodoxy and Theosophy attach to the Cross of Christ. Nor did she pay attention to the blasphemy against Orthodox saints which were scattered in Theosophical books, and which were refuted in Satanism for the Intelligentsia.
