In the teachings of Theosophy, the Manu is one of the most important beings at the highest levels of Initiation of the Masters of the Ancient Wisdom, along with Sanat Kumara, Gautama Buddha, Maitreya, the Maha Chohan, and Djwal Khul. According to Theosophy, each root race has its own ''Manu'' which physically incarnates in an advanced body of an individual of the old root race and physically progenerates with a suitable female partner the first individuals of the new root race. The Theosophical concept of the Manu is derived from the concept in Hinduism that the Manu was the being who was the progenitor of the human race. When the ''Manu'' is spoken of in Theosophy, normally the "being" referred to, is the ''Vaivasvatu Manu.'' ==Theosophy== In Theosophy, the ''Vaivasvatu Manu'' is regarded as the progenitor of the fifth root race, the ''Aryan root race''.〔Leadbeater, C.W. ''The Masters and the Path'' Adyar, Madras, India:1925 The Theosophical Publishing House Page 28〕 This progeneration is believed to have taken place 100,000 years ago in Atlantis. The progenitor of the fourth root race, the ''Atlantean root race'', is called the ''Chakshusha Manu'' and is in appearance an individual of the Mongolian race.〔Leadbeater, C.W. ''The Masters and the Path'' Adyar, Madras, India:1925 The Theosophical Publishing House Page 31〕 According to C.W. Leadbeater, a colony will be established in Baja California by the Theosophical Society under the guidance of the Masters of the Ancient Wisdom in the 28th century for the intensive selective eugenic breeding of the sixth root race. The Master Morya will physically incarnate in order to be the Manu ("progenitor") of this new root race.〔Besant, Annie and Leadbeater, C.W. ''Man: How, Whence, and Whither?''
