"Sophia Wadia (1901-1986) was born in Colombia, South America, and was educated in Paris, New York, and London. In 1928 she married B.P. Wadia, an influential figure in the United Lodge of Theosophists and greatly responsible for the spread and establishment of the ULT in both his native India and numerous other countries of the world. Together, the Wadias founded and organised The Indian Institute of World Culture, the All-India Centre of the International P.E.N. (Poets, Essayists, Novelists), and edited ""The Aryan Path"" and ""The Indian P.E.N."" magazines. Friends with Gandhi and other important and influential figures in India, the Wadias faithfully and relentlessly presented and promoted the original and genuine teachings of Theosophy - i.e. those of H.P. Blavatsky and William Q. Judge - and did much to counteract the pseudo-theosophy that had sprung up under the influence of Leadbeater, Besant, Bailey, and their followers. The expressed mission statement of the ULT, founded in 1909 by Robert Crosbie, is ""To spread broadcast the original teachings of Theosophy as recorded in the writings of H.P. Blavatsky and William Q. Judge."""
