PUBLISHER'S NOTE
A SERIES of four Convention Lectures - on Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Buddhism and Christianity — was delivered by Mrs Annie Besant in 1896 at Adyar, Madras, on the twenty-first anniversary of the Theosophical Society, the President-Founder Colonel H.S. Olcott being in the Chair. A second series of four lectures — on Islam, Jainism, Sikhism and on Theosophy, the Divine Wisdom, as the common source of all religions — was given in 1901 at the twenty-sixth anniversary, Colonel Olcott again presiding. Each of the lectures on the seven religions has been published as a separate booklet and the whole series as a single volume with the title Seven Great Religions.
