Helena Petrovna Blavacki (devojačko Hahn von Rottenstern; 12. avgust 1831 – 8. maj 1891), često poznata kao Madam Blavacki, bila je ruski mistik i pisac. Ona je suosnivač Teozofskog društva 1875. godine. Stekla je međunarodnu prepoznatljivost kao vodeći teoretičar teozofije.

Biografija

Rođena je u aristokratskoj porodici Fon Rotenhana u Jekaterinoslavu, tada u Ruskoj Imperiji (sada Dnjepar u Ukrajini). Blavacka je kao dete mnogo putovala po carstvu. U velikoj meri bila je samoobrazovana. Razvila je interesovanje za zapadni ezoterizam tokom tinejdžerskih godina. Prema njenim kasnijim tvrdnjama, 1849. godine je krenula na niz svetskih putovanja, i posetila je Evropu, Ameriku i Indiju. Takođe je tvrdila da je tokom ovog perioda naišla na grupu duhovnih adepta, „majstora drevne mudrosti“, koji su je poslali u Šigatse, Tibet, gde su je obučili da razvije dublje razumevanje sinteze religije, filozofije i Nauka.

I savremeni kritičari i kasniji biografi su tvrdili da su neke ili sve ove inostrane posete bile fiktivne i da je ona provela ovaj period u Evropi. Do ranih 1870-ih, Blavacka je bila uključena u Spiritualistički pokret; iako je branila istinsko postojanje spiritualističkih fenomena, ona se zalagala protiv glavne duhovne ideje da su entiteti sa kojima se kontaktira bili duhovi mrtvih. Preselivši se u SAD 1873. godine, sprijateljila se sa Henrijem Stilom Olkotom i privukla pažnju javnosti kao duhovni medij. Tada su se pojavile i javne optužbe za prevaru.

Godine 1875, u Njujorku, Blavacka je zajedno sa Olkotom i Vilijamom Kvan Džadžom osnovala Teozofsko društvo. Godine 1877. objavila je Isis Unveiled, knjigu koja opisuje njen teozofski pogled na svet. Povezujući je blisko sa ezoteričnim doktrinama hermetizma i neoplatonizma, Blavacka je opisala teozofiju kao „sintezu nauke, religije i filozofije“, proglašavajući da ona oživljava „Drevnu Mudrost“ koja leži u osnovi svih svetskih religija. Godine 1880. ona i Olkot su se preselili u Indiju, gde je Društvo bilo u savezu sa Arija Samajem, hinduističkim reformskim pokretom. Iste godine, dok su bili na Cejlonu, ona i Olkot su postali prvi ljudi iz Sjedinjenih Američkih Država koji su formalno prešli na budizam.

Iako joj se protivila britanska kolonijalna administracija, teozofija se brzo širila u Indiji, ali su nastali problemi nakon što je Blavacka bila optužena da kreira lažne paranormalne pojave. U teškom zdravstvenom stanju, 1885. godine vratila se u Evropu, gde je osnovala ložu Blavacka u Londonu. Ovde je objavila Tajnu doktrinu, komentar na ono što je tvrdila da su drevni tibetanski rukopisi, kao i dve dalje knjige, Ključ teozofije i Glas tišine. Umrla je od gripa 1891. godine.

Blavacka je tokom svog života bila kontroverzna ličnost, koju su pristalice zagovarale kao prosvećenog Mudraca, a kritičari su je ismevali kao šarlatanku. Njene teozofske doktrine su uticale na širenje hinduističkih i budističkih ideja na Zapadu, kao i na razvoj zapadnih ezoteričnih struja kao što su ariozofija, antropozofija i pokret novog doba.

Kreiranje pouzdanih biografija o njenom životu pokazalo se teškim za biografe jer je ona u kasnijem životu namerno iznosila kontradiktorne izveštaje i neistine sopstvenoj prošlosti. Štaviše, veoma malo njenih spisa napisanih pre 1873. je opstalo, što znači da se biografi moraju u velikoj meri oslanjati na nepouzdane kasnije navode. Izveštaji o njenom ranom životu koje su dali članovi njene porodice takođe su smatrani sumnjivim od strane biografa.
