Linda Oliveira and Pedro Oliveira

LINDA OLIVEIRA is a second-generation Theosophist who joined the Theosophical Society in Australia in 1971 after hearing some talks by the philosopher, J. Krishnamurti. Later, her degree at the Australian National University focused mainly on psychology and political science.

Linda was the International Vice-President of the Theosophical Society from October 2008 until late 2011, serving two and a half years of this period at Adyar, the Society’s International Headquarters in India, before returning to live in Australia.

Perennial Wisdom, provides to those who are awake and alert the possibility of profound human spiritual transformation.
