Mrs Catalina Isaza-Cantor
Author, poet, translator, editor, teacher, and international lecturer of the Theosophical Society, currently based at its headquarters in Adyar, India. Born in Colombia and always felt herself a citizen of the world. This led her on travels that allowed her to connect with other cultures, ways of thinking and languages. She joined the Society in 2006, inspired by her parents’ spiritual path, which encouraged inner search, spiritual practice, and the study of texts such as the Bhagavad Gita and The Secret Doctrine. For her, becoming a member was like finding the way back home.
Since then, Catalina has served actively in many roles: board member of the Colombian Section, coordinator of the Round Table, organiser of youth groups, and a bridge-builder among young theosophists in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, including serving on the fisrt board of the revitalized World Federation of Young Theosophists (2022–2024). She volunteered in TS Brazil, where she lived for almost five years, and later at Adyar, contributing as translator, editor, and assistant in online International Conventions during the pandemic. Today, she serves as Secretary of the School of Wisdom, contributes to international events and media outreach.
She edits Selección Teosófica (the Colombian TS magazine), and since 2008 has written and published articles, as well as delivered lectures at national and international levels on practical Theosophy, literature, art, education, etc. In 2020, with her husband Shikhar Agnihotri, she co-founded PragyaCSstudio, a multilingual YouTube channel dedicated to spreading Theosophy beyond languages.
Alongside her Theosophical work, her professional life has also embraced education (from kindergarten to university), television, cultural management, translation, and editorial work. She holds an Honours degree in Literature, a Postgraduate Diploma in Cultural Management, and a Master’s in Education.
She believes in the transformative power of small acts of love and service.
