The United Lodge of Theosophists, or ULT, was founded in 1909 by a disgruntled Theosophical Society member, Robert Crosbie (1849-1919). Crosbie wanted to focus exclusively on the literature left behind by H.P. Blavatsky and William Quan Judge. After Crosbie's death the movement gained momentum under the leadership of B.P. Wadia (1881-1958). After Wadia died the movement stayed stationary.
