Blavatsky and interest in Theosophy eventually overtook most of her secular interestssuch as Union organizing, the Fabian Society, and the Marxist Social Democratic Federation. Besant became the Theosophical Society's president in 1907. She had a deep devotion to India where she traveled extensively and helped establish the Central Hindu College.
