No other book is quite like this private collection of letters. Preserved in the British Library, they were written between 1880 and 1890 to Alfred Percy Sinnett, editor of a leading Anglo-Indian newspaper, The Pioneer<\/i>, and to his friend, Allan Octavian Hume, a founder of the Indian National Congress. Their correspondents were two Mahatmas whom HP Blavatsky had acknowledged as her teachers and the inspirers of her Isis Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine<\/p>\n
First published in 1923, the important volume is filled with sublime philosophical and ethical instruction, revealing not only far-reaching concepts of religious and scientific thought (since proven in large degree prophetic), but also practicality, warmth of heart, patience, and ripeness of humor. These letters, moreover, yield a clearer understanding of HP Blavatsky, and of the Mahatmas' aim in fostering a better understanding of our kinship with all peoples<\/p>\n
The term \u201cUniversal Brotherhood\u201d is not an idle phrase. Humanity in the mass has a paramount claim upon us. If it be a dream, it is at least a noble one for mankind: and it is the aspiration of the true adept<\/i><\/p>\n
This second & Revised Edition includes several new appendices:<\/p>\n
1. First Letter of KH to AO Hume
\n2. View of the Chohan on the TS
\n3. Cosmological Notes (originally reproduced in Appendix II of The Letters of HP Blavatsky to AP Sinnett)<\/i>
\n4. AO Hume's Reply to KH's First Letter (full text of Letter 99)
\n5. The Writing of the Mahatmas Letters by A. Trevor Barker
\n6. Foreign Words and Phrases
\n7. Chronological Order Key (See Publisher's Note)<\/p>\n
To follow the Letters in an approximate chronological sequence, a reference line linking next and previous letters has been appended to each letter. These are based on Margaret Conger's Combined Chronology<\/i><\/p>\n
