Présentation de l'éditeur
A bout two years ago there was slipped under my office door an announcement of a series of lectures to be given under the auspices of the Theosophical Society by one C. Jinarajadasa, of Columbo, Island of Ceylon. On the front page of the folder was his portrait in half-tone: a dusky young gentleman with curly hair, an untroubled intellectual brow, eyes dreamy yet penetrating behind gold-bowed glasses, a sweet mouth, and a firm chin. It was a face to which I took an instant liking, but the announced lectures did not attract me, for they appeared to deal with matters with which I had been long familiar through the theosophical literature I had read when it was first given to the world in the eighties. I had been interested in that Hterature, but in common with many others I had been deterred from following up my interest by the bad odor which soon afterwards came to be attached to the very word Theosophy by reason of the internecine warfare of theS ociety, and of the alleged exposure of Madame Blavatsky, its founder, by a member of theL ondon Society for Psychical Research.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the lives and teachings of prominent figures in the Theosophical movement, which originated in the latter half of the 19th century. It shines a light on the movement's origins, tracing its roots to ancient wisdom traditions and the influence of enigmatic Masters. The author explores the experiences of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, known as H.P.B., and other founders like Henry Steel Olcott and William Quan Judge, highlighting their profound spiritual journeys and encounters with these Masters. It illuminates the central tenets of Theosophy, including karma, reincarnation, and the existence of higher spiritual planes. The book challenges misconceptions and controversies that have plagued the movement, and delves into the pivotal Coulomb Conspiracy, which tested the faith and resilience of its members.
