This began as the organ of the Arjuna Branch of the Theosophical Society in Spain. On the formation of the Spanish Section of the Society in 1921, the journal became its official organ. As its subtitle indicated, the journal, while a standard Theosophical production of the period, attempted to position itself as the link between Spanish and Spanish-American Theosophists and tried to be the voice of Theosophists in South America. It carried a translation of The Theosophical Glossary and regular reports on the internecine squabbles of the Spanish Section, and had contributions by Mario Roso de Luna, C. Jinarajadasa, J. Krishnamurti, Ramaysa, Jose de Via, William Arms Fischer, A.P. Sinnett, Mabel Collins, E.A. Wodehouse (P.G.'s elder brother), et al. Like many of its Spanish Theosophical peers, the journal expounded an internationalist, socialist view of Theosophy's goals, in articles such as J. Bibby's "Cartas sobre Socialismo," 1922, and Dane Rudhyar's "Internacionalismo contra las Rebeliones del Nacionalismo," and other articles. In May 1932 the journal was united with Francisco Brualla's Sophia (also of Barcelona), which was the representative of Alice Bailey's Arcane School in Spain, under the name Teosofia. Vincente Penalva Mora estimates that the journal's monthly circulation was about 750. From July 1927-1929 the journal included Boletin Periodico de la Seccion Espanola. A journal of the same name but with new numbering was started in Madrid in 1978 by the Branch Rakoczi of the Adyar Theosophical Society. Archivo General de la Guerra Civil Espanola.
