Description
Two Mahatmas inspired the founding of the theosophical Society in 1857. But who are the Mahatmas? Are they real person? How authentic are their letter? What is the story behind their origin? These and many more questions are answered in the seventeen chapters of this book, which contain facsimiles of the letters and other material of much interest.
Many letters were received from the mahatmas between 1880 and 1885 by Mr. A. P. Sinnett, who was Editor of the then well-known newspaper The Pioneer published from Allahabad. As a result he published his book entitled the Occult World. This publication, as well as the letters themselves (Published by the Theosophical Publishing House, Adyar) and the letters of H. P. Balavatsky to A. P. Sinnett, are the main sources for Mr. Barborka
