WHAT IS TIlEOSOPHY.
'fhis question has beon so often nsked, and miscon-
ception so widely prevails, thnt tho editors of a journal
uevoted to an exposition of the world's 'fheosophy would
be remiss were its first lHllllber issued without coming
to a fnll undorstanding with their renders. But our head-

phical Society; anll what aro tho Theosophists? To
each an answer will be given.

WHAT ARE THE THEOSOPHISTS.
Are they what tltey claim to be-stllllcnts of natural
law, of ancient and modern philosophy, nnd even of exact
llCience 1 Arc they Deists, Atheists, Socialists, Materialists,
or Idealists j or are they but a schism of modern Spiri-
tllalism,-mere visionaries? Are they entitled to any con-
sideration, as capable of discussing philosophy and promo-
ting real science j or should they be treated with the com-
passionate toleration which one gives to "harmless enthu-
Iliasts ? " The Theosophical Society has been variously
charged with a belief in '" miracles," allll "miracle-work-
ing ;" with a secret political object-like the Carbonari j
with boing spies of an autocratic CZI\I' j with preaching so-
cialistic and nihilistic doctriues j allll, mil'Cluilo dictlL, with
having a covert understanding with the French Jesuits, to
disrupt modern Spiritualism for a pecuniary consideration!
With equal violence they have been denounced as dreamers,
by the American Positivists; as fetish-worshipers, by some
of the New York press j as revivalists of" mouldy supersti-
tions," by the Spiritualists; as inlillel emissarics of Satan, by
the Christian Church j as the very types of" goue-mouche,"
by Professor W. B. Carpenter, F.R.S. j and, finully, and most
absurdly, some Hindu opponents, with a view to lessening
their influence, have flatly c1mrgel! them with tbe employ-
ment of demons to perform certain l'hCllOmelJa. Out of
all this pother of opinions one fuct stands conspicuous-the
Society, its members, and their views, arc deem ell of enough
importance to be discussed and Ilenounced: Alen slander
only th086 whom they hate-or fear.
But, if the Society has had its enemies and traducers,
it has al80 had its friends and advocates. For every word
of censure, there has been a word of praise. Beginning
with a party of about a dozen earliest men' alltl women, u
month later its numbers had so increased as to necessitate
the hiring of a public hall fOI' its meetings; witlJin two
years, it had working branches in European cuuntries. Still

He who would scriously attempt to fathom the psycho-
logical scicnces, must cOllle to the sacred land of ancient
Ary6.vlU'ta. Nono is older than her in esoteric wisdom and
civilization, however fallen may be hel' poor shadow-mo-
dem Jndia. lIolding this country, as we 110, for the fruitful
hot-bed whence proceeded all subselluent philosophical sys-
tems, to this source of all psycllOlogy and philosophy a
portion of our Society has come to leal'll its ancient wisdom
and alSk fOi' the ilJ!Jlllrtation of its weird lSecrets. Philology
has made too much progress to require at this late day a
delJlOnstration of this fact of the prilJlogenitive nationality
of Aryavart. The unproved and prejudiced hJjX>thesis of
modern Chronology is not worthy of II. moment s thought,
and it will vanish III time like so many other unproved
hypotheses. The line of philosophical heredity, from Kapi-
1a thl'Uugh Epicul'us to James Mill; from Patanjali through
Plotiuus to Jacob Buhme, can be tl'llced like the course of
a river through a landscape. One of the objects of the
Society's organization was to examine the too tl'llnscendent
views of the Spiritualists in rega.rd to the powers of disem-
bodiell spirits j allll, having told them what, in our opinion
at lellSt, a. portion of their phenomena are /lot, it will be-

apparent is it that it is in the East, and eSXlecially in India,
that the key to the alleged" supematuml' phenomena of
the Spiritualists must be sought, that it hIlS recently been

To a large number of persons, including many of high

the editorial writer re1lJarks, that it is "the only direc-
tion in which, it seems to us, the efiorts of the Theo-
sophists in Jndia migLt possibly be useful. The leading
nJelflbers of the Theosophical Society in India are known
to be very advanced students of occult phenomena, alrea-
dy, and we cannot but hope, that their professions of in-
tercst in Oricutal philosoplly... may covel' a reserved inten-
tion of ~lrryillg out explorations of the killli we indicate."
While, as observcd, one of our olljects, it yet is but one

member tllat they are the clJildren "of one 1I10ther." As
to tlw transcendental side of tho ancient Theosophy, it is
also Iligh time that the Theosophical Society should ex-
plain. With how much, tllen, of this nature-searching,
Ood-seeking science of the ancient Aryan and Greek mys-
tics, and of the powers of modorn spiloitulll mediumship,
does the Society agree? Our answer is :-with it all.
But if askeJ what it believes in, the reply will be :-" u. a
body-Nothing." The Society, as II. body, has no creed, as
creeds are but the shells around spiritual knowledge j and
Theosophy in its fruition is spiritual knowled~e itself-
the very essence of philosophical auJ theistIC enquiry.

cal' manifestations;' etc. But the fin,t point to settle is
the one here first stated; ami we have shown how and in
what directions the Theosophists mailltain that the in-
vestigations should be pushed.
Our East Indian readers, unlike those of 'Western coun-
tries who may see these lines, do not know how wannly
and stoutly these issues have been debated, these past
three or four years. Suffice it to say that., a point having
been reached where argument seemed no longer profitable,
the controversy ceased; and that the present visit of the
New York Theosophists, and their establishment of the
Bombay Headquarters, wilh the lihrary. lectmos, and this
journal, are its tangible results. That this stel? must .have
a very great influence upon \Vestem psychologIcal sCience
is apparent. Whether om Conllmtlee arc themselves

and belief that after the broad principles of our SOCIety,
its earnestness, and exceptional facilities for gatherillg
Oriental wisdom arc well ulHlerstood, it will be better
thought of than now by Spiritualists, and attract into its
fellowship many more of their brightest and best intellects.
Theosophy can bo styled the enemy of Spiritualism
with no more propriety than of Mesmerism, or any other
branch of Psychology. In this wondrous outburst of phe-
nomena that the Western world has been seeing since
1848, is presented such an opportunity to investigate the
hidden mysteries of being as t.lte worlll has scarcely known
before. Theosophists only urge that these phenomena shall
be studied so thoroughly t.hat OUI' epoch shall not pass
away with the might.y problem unsolvell. \Vhatever ob-
structs this-whether the narrowness of sciolism, the dog-
matism of theology, or the prejudice of any other class,
should be swept aside as something hostile to the pub-
lic interest. Theosophy, wit.h its design to search hack
into historic records for proof, may he regarded as the
natural outcome of phenomenalistic Spiritualism, or as
a touchstone to show tho valuo of its pure gold. One
must know both to comprehend what is Mall.
ANTIQUITY OF THE VEDAS.
A journal interested like tho THEOSOPHIST in the
explorations of nfchlDology and archaic religion1l, as well as
the study of the occult in lIatme, ha1l to be doubly pru-
oent and discreet. To hring the two conflicting elements-
exact science ami met.aphysics-into direct contact, might
create as great a disturbance ns to throw a piece of potassium
into a basin of water. The very fact that we are predestined
and pledged to prove that .'lome of tho wisest of \V estern
scholars have been misled by the dead letter of appearances
and that tlley are unable to discover the hidden spirit in the
relics of old. places us under the ban from the start. \Yit.h
those sciolists who are neither broad enough, nor sufficient-
ly modest to allow their decisions to be re,·iewed, we are
necessarily in antagonism. Therefore, it is essent.ial that
our position in relation to cert~in scientific hypotheses,
perhaps tentative and only sanctioned for want of better
ones-should be clearly defined at the outset.
An infinitude of study has been bestowed by the a1'-
chreologists and tho orientalists UpOIl the question of chrono-
logy-especially in regard to Comparative'rheology. So
far, their affirmations as to UJO relative antirplity of the
great religions of the pre-Christ,ian era arc little more than
plausible hypotheses. How far back the national and reli-
gious Vedic period, so called, extends-" it is impossible to
tell," confesses Prof. Max Miiller; nevertheless, he traces it
"to a period anterior to 1000 B.C." IlIHI brings us "to
1100 or 1200 B.C. a,s the ellrliest time when we may
su:ppose the collection of the Verlic hymns to havo been

of Genesis. Christianity, the direct outflow of Judaism
and in most cases tho state relig-ion of their respective
countries, has unfortunately Iltood in their way. Hence,
scarcely two scholars agree; aud eltCh assigns a different
date to the Vedas and tho Mosaic books, taking care in
every case to give the latter tho benefit of the doubt. Even
that leader of the leaders in philological and chronological
questions,-Professor MUlier, hardly twenty years ago
allowed himself a prudent marg-in by stating that it will
be difficult to settle" whether the Veda is 'the oldest of
bookll,' and whether Rome of the portions of the old Testa-
ment may not ho traced back to tho Ramo or even an earlier
date than the oldest hymns of tho Veda." TheTJIEOSOPlIIST,
is, therefore, quite warranted inoitheradoptingorr~jectingas
it pleases the so called authoritative chronology of science.
Do we err then, in confessing that we rather incline to
accept the chronology of that renowned Vedic scholar, Swa-
mi Dayanund Saraswnti, who unquestionably knows what
he is talking about, has the four Vedas by heart, is perfectly
familiar with all Sanskrit literature, hilS no such scruples
as the \Veste1'1l Orientalists in regard to public feelings,
nor desire to humolJr the superstitious notions of the ma.-
jority, nor has any oqjeet to gain in' suppressing facts?
\Ve arc ouly too conscious of the risk in witholding our
adulation from scientific authorities. Yet, with the common
temerity of the heterodox we must take our course, even
though, like the Tarpe'ia of old, wo be smothered under a
heap of shields-a shower of learned quotations from these
" authorities."
\Ve are far from feeling rendy to adopt tho absurd ehro.
nology of a Berosus or oven Syncellus-though in truth
they appear" absurd" only in the light of our preconcep-
tions. But" between the extreme cIaimsof the Brahmins and
the ridiculously short periods conccded by our Orientalists
for the development and full growth of that gigantic liter-
ature of the Ante-Mahabhamtan period, there ought to
be a just mean. While Swami Dnyanund Saraswati asserts
that" The Verlas havo now ceased to be objects of study
for nearly 5,000 ,cars," nnrl places the first appearance of the
four Vedas at anlllllllenseanliquity j 1)rofe8sorMiilIer assign-
ing for tlw composition of cven thc earliest among th'e Brith-
manas, the years fr01ll aoout 1,000 to 800 B.C., hardly dares,
as we have Reen, [,0 placo the collection and the original
composition of the Sanhita, of Hig-Vedic hymns, earlier
than 1200 to 1500 before O\ll' era!- Whom ought we
to believe; and wldch of the two is the better informed?
Canuot this gap of severnI thousand years be closed, or
would it be equally difficult for either of the two cited au-
thorities to givo data wllicll would be regarded by science
as thoroughly convincing? It is as easy to reach a false
conclusion by the modern inductive method as to assume
false premises from which to make deductions. Doubt.
less Professor Max lIHiller has good rea.,ons for arriving at
Ids cIlronological conclusions. Hut so has Dayanund Sara!!-
wati, Pundit. The gradnal modifications, development and
growth of the S~nskri.t language nrc sure guides enough
for an expert pllliologist. But. that there is a possibility
of his having been led into error would seem to suggest
itself upon considering a certain argument brought for-
ward by Swami Dayanund. Our respected friend and
Teacher maintains that both 1J rofessor MUlIer and Dr.
Wilson have been solely guided in their researches and con-
clusion by the innccllrate and untrustworthy commenta-
ries of Sayana, Mahidhar, and Uvata j commentaries which
differ diametrically from those of a far earlier period as
used by himself in connect,ion with his great work the
Veda Bhashya. A cry was mised at the outset of this
publication that Swami's commentary is calculated to re-
fute Sayana and the English interpreters. "For this"
very justly rcmarks I'ahdit DayilnuIHI "I cannot be blamed.
if Sayana has erred, and English inter,rreters have chose~
to take him for their guide, the llelllslOn calluot be long
maintained. Truth alolle can stand, and Falsehood before

be, .for this simple reason that the possibility of the absolute is nothing else tlmn the unshaped material of
human soul verging into the Absolute docs not enter
into tIle Creed of Mr. Spencer nor do~s the doctrine of
the transllligration. of sQuls.. Moreover while the Ve-
dantist devotes llis thoughts solely to the Absolute, Mr.
Spencer' devotes them chiefly to the Relative, While
holding with the former the inscrutableness of the con-
nectionbct~veen the conditioned forms of being and the
Uncomlitibned form of being - (P, G5H), the latter never-
,theless differs ii'om the former in d~claring that their
connection is illliissoluble. He says-" TllOugh reality
under the forms of our cOnciOW:lIlCllS is hut a ConcIitieJlll)d
effect of tl~e absolute reqlity, yet this conditioned cUect
standing· in indissoluble relation with i~s Unconditioned
cause and being equally persistent with it, so long as the
conditions persist is to the, conciousness supplying. those
conditiOlis, equally real. The persistent impressions heing
the persistent results of a. persistent cause, are for prac-
tical purposes, the same to us as the cause itself and
may be habitually dealt with as its equivalents."
Excepting the iiIdissoluble character of the relation
between each (conditioned effect' and (its uncondition-
ed causes: even' the above remarks, apparently so anta-
gonistic to the, doctrine of Miiya, can be perfectly re-
conciled with, Sankara's views. For in precisely the
same spirit Sankara proves, in opposition to the Baud-
dhas, or absolute idealists the reality of cxte1'llal objects-
a procedure which, has been misconstmed into self contra-
4iction in SOlIle quarters.
Mr. Gough however makes the unqualified assortion that
It any suoh notion as that of Muya is, of course, absent from
his (Spencer's) philosophy." Though the passages I have
already quoted clearly contradict such an asscrtion, I would
cite l~ few more to show that the doctrine of Mliyii is un-
mistakeably contained in his philosophy.
"Tlms by the persistence of force we really mean the
persistence of some power whieh transcends our knowledge
and conception. The manifestations as occurring either in
ourselves or outside of us, do not persist, but that which
persists is the unknown cause of these manifestations,
p. 18D :-" and unless we postulate Absolute Being or being
which persists, we cannot construct a theory of external
phenomena" p. IDO
Here Ab~olute Being is cloarly defined to be persistent
heing and is conttadistinguishcd fi'om phenomenal being,
aild the following words throw greater ligh t upon the q ucs-
tion;-:' for persistence is nothing 1I10re than cOIitinuod exist-
ence and existence cannot be thought of as other than
continued."
Now if phenomenal existence is different from absolute
01' persistent existence and if existence can not be thOllght
of as other than continued or persistent, it clearly follows
that phenomenal existence can not be thought of as
existenco at all. That which is real in, or rather be-
IIcatll,t phenomena. is the Absolute, allll abstracted from
t.he Absolute phenomcna cun not bc thougllt of as real.
This is the clearest possible enunciation of the doctrine
of Mlly&. It needs hardly be said that what in a for-
mer passage quoted here is spoken of the persistence of
phenomena is evidently meant in a relative sense. Such
persistence being" so long as the conditions persist," it
exactly corresponds to the Vyanalt'I1'il,,~ Bulla (existence
to be dealt with) of the Ve~antin,
Mr. Gough asks" Is it necessary to remind the Baboo
that Herbert Spencer is a transcendentalist, that he holds
the theory characteris~d by the Baboo as more grovel-
ling than that of the materialists 1 On this no other
comment is needed than the following words of the phi-
losopher, referring to the schools of Schelling, Fichte and
Hegel: ., Retaliating on their critics, the English may,
and most of them do, reject as absurd the imagined phi-
losophy of the German Schools," p. 12D.
Mr. Gough further· remarks: To Herbert Spencer the

thonght that is sllllped afresh in every thought, ancl its
progressive development is traced in his works through
the animal series to mall, and in man to the ~;uper-orgunic
products of the social consciousness,
. \Vith reference to the first portion of this remark, I
have only to remind tho writer of :Mr. Spencer's interroga-
tion: "Is it not just possihle that there is a mode of being
as much transcending lntelJigrmce and will, as these trall-
sccnd mechanical motion?" Though these words arn suf-
ficient to intimate that, according to the author, the Abso-
lutu ill aho\'u devd"J'lIlf:llt or progn:ssive 1U00lifkation,
I qllote anotlIer passage which expressly bears upon the
question.
" On trucing up from its low amI vague beginnings the
intelligence which becomes so marvellous. in the highest
heings, we filHl that uuder wlmtcvl)r aspect contemplated,
it presents n progressive tramJormation of like nature with
the progressi ve tnmsfonllatioll we trace in the universe as
tl whole, no less tllan ill cadI of its parts." Principles of
Psyclwloyy I. G27.
It is evidellt that this' low and vague hegilming of intel-
ligence: corresJlolllling, as it lloes, with .M r. Gough's ob-
scme thought: which' only at a certai n height rises into
tIle thought of this 01' that thinker,' is mistaken by him for
the Absolute of :Mr. Spencer's philosophy. Thus to that
great thinker is imputed the absurd tenet that the Abso-
lute is 1l0t the same at any two moments, that there is an
endless snccession of all infinite number of absolutes; that
it is the lowest beginning of intelligence; though he ex-
pressly declares that it transccnds Intclligence and Will !
It may he remarked bere tltat. tbe intelligence which
is progressively lluvelopell with tho nervous system, may
readily be iclentiliell IJy tbe Vedautill with his bwldhi
which is cbarnctel'jz(~d as Illodificable (parill<lmini) and is

the Absolute Thought wltich uIHlerlies them ami which
llh. Spencer calls tho Substance of the Mind, or the
Unconditioned COllsciousness. Would Mr. Gough say that
the Absolute is not modified in its essence? Then call
this immutable esscnce the Absolute. The nature of the
Absolute is One Wllidl is not llivisible into the essential
and non-essential. Tho 1I0n-csselltial clement which l:JeC'IIi.~

of the shores of C'aspia, there stands-al0..9! rath~r stood,

built in unknown agcs, and by builders as unknown. Ovel'

us the "Fiery ~'ield:' upon which the structure stands, if one
but digs from two to three inches into the sandy earth, and
applics a lighted match, u jet of tire will strcam up, as if
from II. spout.- The" Ouebre Temple" as the building is
sometimes termed is carved out of one solid rock. It com-
prisea an enormous square enclosed by crenelated walls, and
at the centre of the square, a high tower also rectangular
resting upon four gigantic pillars. The la.tter were pierced
vertically do~ to the bed-rock and the cavities were can-
tinued up to the battlements where they opened out into
the atmosphEU'e j t~lUS forming continuous tubes through
which the inflamm!J.ble gas stored up in the heart of the
mother rock were conducted to the top ot the tower,
This tower has been for centuries a shrine of the tire-wor-
shivers and bears the symbolical representation of the
trident--called tem'soot, All around the interior face of the
external wall, are excavated the cells, about twenty in !lum-
bel', which served as habitations for past generations of Zoro-
astrian recluses. Under the supervision of a High Mobed,

who during a long residence in India imbued his mind
with Buddhistic philosophy." This,' he adds, " is no cri-
ticism of a religIOn supposed to be false, but the sympa-
thetic presentment of a religion so much of which is true
as from the ?nouth of a vutury (sic}." By many, Mr.
Arnold's" imaginary Buddhist votary" of the Preface, is
identified with the author himself; who now-to quote
again his critic-It comes out in Ilis true colours." 'Ve
are glad of' it j it is a rare compliment to pay to any writer
of this generation, whose peremptory instincts lead but
too many to sail under any colours but their own. For
our part, we regard the poem as a really remarkable spe-
cimen of literary talent, replete with philosophical thought
and religious feeling-just the book, in short, we needed
in our period of Science of Religion-and the general
toppling of ancient gods.
The Miltonic verse of the poem is rich, simple, yet power-
ful, without any of those metaphysical innuendoes at the
expense of clear meaning which the subject might seem to
beg, and which is so much favored by SOlllC of our modern
English poets. There is a singular beauty and a force in the
whole narrative, that hardly characterizes other recent
poems-Mr. Browning's idyl, the "Pheidippides," for one,
which in its uncouth hero-the Arc(l,(!ian goat-god, offers
such a sad contrast to the gentle Hindu BavioUl'. Jar as
it may on Christian ears, the theme chosen by Mr. Arnold
is ono of the grandest possible. It is as worthy of his
pen, as the poet has showed himself worthy of the subject.
There is a unity of Oriental colouring in tlJC descriptive
portion of the work, a truthfulness of motive evinced in
the masterly handling of Buddha's character, which are
n.s precious as unique j inasmuch as they present this
character for the first time in the history of Western litera-
ture, in the totality of its lmadultemtell beauty. The
moral grandeur of the hero, that Prince of royal blood,
who might have been the" Lord of Lurds," yet
" Iet the rich wal'lll tllip
Out of his grllSp, to hold l\ beggar's bowl,"
and the development of his philosophy, the fruit of years of
solitary meditation and struggle with the mortal" Self," are
exquisitively portrayed. Toward the end the poem cul-
minates in a triumphant cry of all uatmo ; a llnivel'snl hYllln
at the sight of the World-liberating soul
" of the Saviour of the arId,
Lord Buddha--.Prince SiddArtha styled 011 earth,
"r
In Earth, and Heaven and Hell incomparable,
All-honoured, Wille:!t, Best, 1II0st Pitiful;
The Teaohel' of NirvAua aud tho Law."
Whatever the subsequent fate of all the world's reli-
gions and their founders, the name of Gautama Buddha,
or Sakyll. Muni,· can. never be forgotten; it must always
live in the hearts of millions of votaries. H is touching
history-that of a daily and hourly self-abnegation during
a period of nearly eighty years, has fOUlHI favour with
everyone who has studied his history. When one sear-
ches the world's records for the purest, the highest ideal
of a religious reformer, he seeks no further after reading
this Buddha's life. In wisdom, zeal, humility, purity of
life and thought j in ardor for the good of pnankind j in
provocation to good deeds, to toleration, charity and gen-
tleness, Buddha excels other men as the lIimmalayas excel
other peaks ill height. Alone among the l(l1mders of re-
ligions, he had no word of' maludictioll 110r evon reproach
for those who differed with his views. His doctrines are
the embodiment of universal love. Not only our phi-
lologists-cold anatomists of timo-honoured creeds who
scientifically dissect the victims of their critical analysis
-but evon those who are prepossessed against his faith,
have ever found but words of praise for Gautama. N 0-
thing can be higher or purer than his social and moral
code. "That moral code" says Max MUller, (" Buddhism") t
taken by itself is one of the most perfect wl.ich the world
has ever known." In his work" Le Bouddha et sa Reli-

reverential praise. He does not" hesitate to say" that
" among the founders of religions there is 110 figme more
pme or more touching than that of Buddha. Hill lffe
has not a stain upon it. Hit! constant heroism equals
his convictions... He is the perfect Illodel of all the vir-
tues he preaches; llis almeftation and charity, his inalter-
able gentlelless, never forsake him for an instant "...And,

tha~ he d,ies, " with ~~.e serenity of .a sage who l}I'ltctic,ed good
dunng IllS whole hte, and who IS sme to lave 10un(l-
the truth." So true is it, that even the early Roman
Catholic saint-makers, with a flippant unconcern for detec-
tion by posterity characteristic of the early periods of
Christiamty, claimed him as one of their cOllvelts, and,
under the pseudonym of St. Josaphat, registered him in
their Golden Legend" and "Martyrology" as an ortho-
H
dox, beatified Catholic saint. At tllis very day, there
stands ill Palermo, a church dedicatell to Buddha under
the llame of Divo J osaphat. - I t is to t.lle discovery of

bors had abandoned in the grove, /( to show the Supreme
they would have none of it." From that time there was
no peace for him, his hut had been confiscated, his work
was often destroyed, and he could turn to no one for
redress; for the weak could not help him, the strong would
not, to the Supreme alone couM he appeal.
Night after !light he watched in the grove, awl saw no-
thing but the stars twinkling through the leaves, heard
nothing but the cry of the night-binI. Tired out at last he
crept beneath a ledge ofrock near the entrance of t he cave, and
Rlept soundly and long. :quddenly a light flashed in his
face, a voice pronounced his name, and with a heating
heart he started up. Before him stood Soron ; changed,
nobler, illmninated by a something unknown in the oM
days, but Soron still, unchanged in heart alHl Lyoro soon
understood that. "Did the :qupreme send you because I
could endure no more, and kept the watches of the night
In the grove 7" he asked when he had grown calm enough
to speak. H No, I C0111e to-night because this is the nrst
time I have had the power to come. A greater and a
truer man sits on the throne of our fathers, It !lHtn who
would make of his kindred the supporters of his dynasty,
aUlI not misemble deluded prisoners. That man is my elder
brother; I am his friend, even as I am yours, and he has
lient me to give to you all that dearest boon to man,
Liberty. No longer these mountain walls shall bound
lour horizoll. You shall know the wide earth as it really
IS. You shall see strange plants, strallge animals, aIII I
look on fairer faces than you ever tlreamed of,"
" Perhaps they will not follow you; MOllcm' still leads,
nnd they have grown fiercer than ever,"
.. Fierce l" said Soron "Is it their fault 7 They never
even knew they had a mother."
" A mother! What is that?" asked Lyoro
" Come to our old haunt by the grotto and I will tell you.
:My people can remain near the cave."
And now for the first time, Lyoro perceivetl that the cave
was full of men, habited in strange and gorgeous attire, but
he had as yet 110 eyes for them; he onl y cared to look on
Roron,andSoron with Lyoro's eyes on him, spokcofhis escape;
.first, of the hand that sti'uck him down in the grove, thell
of the pity that had spared him and conveyetl him in se-
cret to his brother, the hope and heir of the kingdom
then, now its reigl,ling sovereign. He spoke of the great
world, of its cities, forests alld armies j of treasures to be
found in books and art; of huge animals,-aml fishes far
larger than the largest canoe they had ever lannche!l
lipan their lake. He told Lyoro of the mighty Power
that rules the universe, that sends rest after fatigue,
consolation to grief, and death after life, as a preparation
for the life beyond. And then, that he might understand
that the Supreme Life I~IHI Light is also the Supreme
Love, he spoke of the mother he had foulld at his brother's
house, of her caresses and her affection.
" A Mother!" said Lyoro. "'l'wice you have used the
word awl I do not ullderstanl\ it. Is a mother a man?"
No, fathers are men, and they can be cruel, or they
would not have shut us up in Rylba. A mother is all
pity, all love. Fl'Om her man draws his life; her face is
the nrst he looks upon, the last he shouhl forget; around
her clusters all that is good and merciful, holy and pure.
Rhe is the living smile upon earth of the Supreme Love?"
H And when I go with you, you will show lIIe a mother?"
asked Lyoro. _,
" Many of them, and better than all, I can show you
rour own. We ~Iked of you. but, yesterday. ~hc is long-
Illg for your commg, and she IS a noble woman.
" 'Yhat are women?" said Lyo!'O.
"The sex from which motllCrs a1'e drawn. You will nUll
about an equal number of mCIl and women in the world
you are going to."
" Why then, if women are good, did they send us from
them to Rylba ?" "Ah, you have yet to leal'll that there
are unhappy lands where men, taking advantage of woman's
feebler frame allli greater timidity, have wl'tlsttlll from her
herequal rights even in herotlsJlI·ing. Woe to the land that
lltints her portion of knowledge and honor!· That na-
20
tioll's sons must !legenerate, for how can those be great
who draw their life fmm a vitiated source, from beings
crippled aIHI tmfl.:eblen, dwarfed below the stature that
God and Nature gave them? '1'110 sons of Dobler mothers
shall rule them; the conqueror's foot shall tread upon
the graves of their fathers; their sI.ips shall be swept from
tIle sea; their Ilame from oft' the fil.Ce of the earth, for
the Most High hy his IlIHtlterahle laws h,as decmed it so."
"Ours be the task to avert the (~ltl'Re fmlll OUI' countl'Y;
to respect our mothers and instruct onr daughters; to raise
woman to the pedestal her very weakness gives hel' a right
to occupv; to honor ourselves in honoring her."
" And" has woman none of tI.e filldts of lIIan j is she
alone perfect 7"
"How should she be perfect," answered Soron, "since
sI.e is after all but female lIIan 7"
.. But she is superior to him? "
.. No, neither superior nor inferior, but different. Her
faults are not us his, neither are her qualities. She cannot
bottst his courage, 1101' he her gentlelloss. She lias not his
power of diligOllt applicatioll, nnd he lacks hel' quick
intuition. He leans to the material side of lift!, she has a
lleeper feeling fill' its poetl'y alHl aspirations. She relies
011 his strong arm and strong will, and he turns to her
as the tranquil light that illumiues Ilis heart alld his home.
Rivalry between the sexes is worse than useless, for their
illtm'ests are identical, and nature designed thelll to form
but the two halves of one hanlluniolts whole,"
.. I will not tell you 1I0W, how oftell human pasgions mar
Nature's fairest work. How in tI.e great worltl a.'j in
Rylba, evil and good are perpetltallywal'l'ing for the mastery;
but I do tell yolt to cling to the love from which you have
been too long divol'ced, and witI. its help, you will learn
to understalld the great world and shun its snares,"
The day had cOllie by tlJis tillie, aUII the banll of wor-
shipOl's approacI.ing the grove, saw the new-comer anti
stood spell-bound in silent surprise. Had they cOllie before
dawn? No, for the sun already glanced above the moun-
tain top and the birds were singing loudly, Still they
hesitated till Soron's voice callcil 011 tI.em to receive theil'
heritage of kllowledge and of liberty. Not into their ears
ditl he pour all that had perplexed Lyoro, but he told them
of their mothers, and the children laughed fOI' joy, the
haughty Moucar bowed himself to the ground, and down
the wrinkled cheeks of the patriarchs the tears crept silently,
when they hClml that in the great world out.shle they
should find ouly their mothers' graves.
THE MAGNETIC CHAIN.
\Ye have read with great interest the first number of a
new French journal devoted to the science of Mesmerism,
or, as it is callell, Allimal MaglletislII, which has bee II kind-
ly sent us by that venerable allll most illustrious pmcti-
tioller of that sdellce, the Baroll du Potd, of Paris. Its
title is Llt Chaflle Maglletique (the Magnetic, Chain).
After long years of comparative ilulitl'erence, caused by the
encroachments of skeptical science, this fascinating subject
is again absorbing a large share of the attention of'\Vestern
stlltlellts of PsycllO!ogy. Mesmerism is the very key to
tho rnystery of mail's illterim' nature j nnd enables one
familiar with its laws to nnderstllnll not only the pheno-
mena of' 'Yestel'll Hpiritualism, bllt also that vast subject-
so vast as to embrace every bl'llueh of Occultism within
itself-of Eastom Magic. The whole object of tile Hindu
Yog is to bring illto activity his interior power, to make
llilliself ruler ovor physical Hull' and over evel'ytllillg else
besides. That the developed YoU can influence, some-
times control, the operations of vt,getable and animal life,
proves that the soul within his body has an intimate rela-
tionship with the soul of all other things. Mesmerism
goes far toward teaching us IIDw to read tbis occllit secret,

ARYAN MUSIC.
, All lulditioilal interest and value is given to the prescnt
Humber of the TIlEOHOl'IIHiT by tile able essay upon Indian
Music, contributell by the Oayan Samaj, or Musical Re-
form Society, of Poonll, through their respected Secretary,
MI'. Bulwant. Though mucldlus, we believe, been done
ill Bengal ,by 1111 eminent Illitive lIlusicalaIllateur, to lIlake
tlle merits of Aryan music known to our generation, and
he has been decorated by the kings of Portugal amI Siam,
we, being strangers here ItS yet, ure not illfonlled that his
e853Y8 have had vogue in the English language. But,
whether our present paper is or is not the tirst formal
challenge fr01l1 IL Hindu to the 'Vcst to recognize the claim
of India to the materuity of Illusicnl science, the c11l1llenge
is here Jlllule j and it will be our duty and pleasure, alike; to
see that it, COIlles to the notice of some of the best critiCll
of Europe and America.
Last month, Mr. Dinanath Atmaram, M.A., LL.B., that
great contemporary Hindu mathematical genius, whO-
according to no less an authority than Mr. J. B. Peile,
Director of Public Instruction, Bombay Presidency-" pro-
ved his point that Sir Isaac N ewton'll Rule for i,maginury
ruutll ill not univerllully true, hilt that it is pcrfectly enl'ly
to form Equations having imaginury roots, the exilltence
of which wouH not be made manifest by the application of
Newton's Rulo"..!...sllOwed us that 1111 Aryan geometer, and
not tllO Greek Hipparchus-as hitherto cOJllIDonly believed
-wall the author of Trigonometry. 'lAnd now we sec the
1110st conclusive evidence that MUllic, 'the' Heavenly Maid:
was begotten neither by Greek nor ROffian, nor Egyptiun
inspiration, but sprang, 11 mel!xliou8 inti1.llt, out of the
Aryan crudle. The fiiet of the Arynlll:l and Chinese !IllV-
ing luul u sylltem of musienl notlltion, is conceded by the
Christians; but that it tiu antedated the epoch of the

at all eventll, IUlll not been until recently, if liuch be the tiLet

of spiritualisll1, will inevitably leall us to: to the complete
extinction of all Rcicnce, ami evon of the human race,
which will be ever rushing onward to l\ hetter life, The
leaTlled and scholarly pita n ta.'lisfll who arc so nnxious to
promote the Bciencf' of spiritualism, i,e. of l\ close com-
munic<'\tion between the two world!!, ollght to bear the
above in mind,"
To which the" scholarly phantnsisl-~" would be qllite wnr-
T:mtcfl in answpring thnt one would have to bring his own
mind to the exact lIleaRllfe of microscopic capacity required
to clabornte such a thcory aR this, before he could take it
into consideration at all. Is the above meant to be offercd
as an objection for sCl'iollS cOllsiderntion? Strange logicl
we are as'ked to hl'1ieve 1hnt, 11l'cl\uRe theRe men of seience,

jiJlInd-thnt becalHle of that, scif'nce will lose all its charm
li)1' humanity" Nay-life itself will bl'collle a burden!
There nrc millions upon millions of people who, without
believing in spiritualism at all, yet have faith in another
and l\ better world, And were that hlilHl faith to become

4. 'Ve know of many persons who can distinguish an
individual allli yet cannot illont.ify him in his photogmph.
This is due to their want of familiarity with the effects of
light and shade, on the vision; the same is .empllUtically
true of any system of music. 'I'he English, French, Oer-
man, and I talian systems of music arc disti nct from one
another, having been separately developed; yet each has
charms peculiar to itself, nnd each school has its admirers
llnd panegyrists who find it the hest of all representatives
oftrue harmonic science. Oultivation and taste arc the prim-
ary perquisites for musical criticism, and unless a man
spend some yea!"8 0!1 any gi~en system of. mus!c he ,~ill
not come to reahze Its beautlOll a\lll appreCiate Its ments.
If an Englishman, It Frenchman, and an I tal ill II sit inj\lllg-
mellt upon the merits.of our Indilln Music, each will try
to finll sometlling in it which he is accustornell to anli wllich
he has from chihlhood learnt to look upon liS the best.
Neither of them is used to the softening inthwnce of Hin-
du melody, and therefore each cries it down with a separate
phrase. To expect therefore that Hillliu Music will
stand the test of every connoisselll" w!lOse ear is accustom-
ed to a different llevelopillent, is to forget the Iheory of the
formatioll of idens. Again, if II indu Music had been a
growth of lllodern times, containiug all the several charms
of different lllusicnl systellls, it would perhaps Itove an-
swered the expectations of these cOllllOisseurs; 1m t upon the
testimony of works of great anti'luity lying a I'OU 1111 us
(SOlllO 4000 to HOOO years ohl), wo can safely Illlil'lII that
Hinuu Music was developed into It system in VPI'Y ancient
times; in times of which we have no genuine records; in
times when all other nations of tllC worhl were struggling
with the elelllents for existence; in times when II inllu
Risltis were enjoying the fruits of civilizatiou,lllHl occupy-
ing themselves with the contelllplation of tlte lIIighty pow-
ers of the eternal Bmhma.
We will therefore present our n,nllers with It hinl's-eye
view of Hindu Mllsie, leaving to themselves the tnsk of
cultivating their ellr; for while we can descrihe to a
person the oxternal appearance of an orange, its colour,
its odour, 11.1\(1 name to him, its onler in tile vcgutahle

Throughout our lamily, a belief in supernatural appear·

NcwYork, once, when I first welltout to America in I8ou.
The relative with whom I wa.'! staying, (well known to
New Yorkers as" Triangle B") lived a few miles out of the

'rhe title prefixed to the following observations. may
well have llllgge~ted a 1I10re metaphysical treatment of tim
suhject than cun be attempted on the present occasion.
The doctrine of the trinity, or trichotomy of Illall, which
dilitingllisill's SOli I frolll spirit, comes to liS with slIch weighty,
venerable, and even sacred authority that we lIlay well be
content. for t lie moment, with continuations that should
be intelligible to all, forbearing the ablltl'llller questions
which have divide.l minds of the highest \Ihilosophical
capacity. \Ve willllot now inqllire whether t w difference
is one of states or of entities; whether tho phenomenal or
lIliJul consciollllness is merely the external condition of one
indi\'isihle Ego, or has its ori~in and nature in an alto-
gether different principle; the Spirit, or imlllortal part of
us. being of Divine birth, while the S('nSl'S and IIndersUind-
ing.with the consciousness-Altunkllra-tlwreto apper-
taining. are from an Anima MllI/({i. or what in the Sankya
philosophy ill called Prakriti. My utmo~t p:tpectlltions
will have bel'n exceeded if it should happen that a:1Y COll-
siderations here offered should throw even a faint Sll~­
gestive li,yht upon the bearings of this great problem. It
may be tlmt the mere irreconcilability of all that is charac-
teristic of the temporal Ego with the conditions of the
superior life-if tltl\t can be nuule apparl'lIt-will incline
yOIl to reganl the la!te~ rather a.'! the Red,eemer, that ~a.s
indeed to be horn wltilln us for lIur salvatIOn allli our IlII-
mortality, than as the inmost, central. and im\(~parable
principle of our pb~'nonwnal life. J,t .IIII1Y • be th,at by the
lirrht of such reflexlOus the sense ot lllelltlty will present
n~ insuperable diflicuity to th,~ concepti 011 of its contin-
gency, or to recu~nition that the lIIere consciollsness which
faib to attach itsf1lf to a highel' prillci pIc is no guarantee
of all eternal individuality.
It is only by :\ sun'cy of what il\llivi,luality, regarded
a..q the source of all our aff'ections, thoughts, allli actiolls, is,
that we can realise its intrin~ic worthlessllells; allli only
wlll'n wc ha\'e brOlwht ourselves to a real 111111 felt
llckllowlell'ymlmt of that fact, can we aeccpt with full
undcrstnndin" those" hard sayings" of sacred authority
",hich bid \~" die to ourselws... allli which proclaim the
necessity of n veritable new birth. Thi~ !\I)'lltic d~ath
:md birth is the keynote of all profou,JII1 rehglO,u~ tellclu~g;
and that which distinguishes the ordmury rchglo~ls IIImd
from spiritu:l I iIlsigh t is just t~lt: te~dellcy to. III terprct
these exprmolsions a." merely hgurl\t1ve, or, IIIdced, to
overlook them altogether. . • .., .
Of all the reprol\ches which model'll Spl~ltllal"lln~, .wlth
the prospect it is thought to hold out 01 an mdl,vldual
temporal immortality, has had to encounter. there IS n~ne
that we can less atli)rd til IIt'glect tlmn that wluch
represents it a..'! all id:II.1 essellti!"!y t:gotistical 11I.1l1 bome.
'frue it is that OUI' cntlcs do us IIlJustlce throngh Ignorance
of the enlarrred views as to the progress of the soul in
which the s~culations of ~n,di\"iduIII, Spiritualists coincide
with many remarkable spmt teacillngs. These, are, l~n­
doubtedly, a great advance upon popula~ theologIcal. opIn-
ions, while llonw of them go far to sattsfy the clanu of
Spiritualism to be regarded as II religion. Nev?rthel~ss.
that slirrht elltimllte of individuality, as we kllow It, wlucIi
in olle ~iew too easily alliell itself to ma~erialisn~, is also
variance with the e:tcessive value placed by Spmtuahst.'> ou
the discovery of our mere psychic survival. The idealist ma.y
recognise this survival j but, whether he does so or no.t.
he occupies a post of vantage when he ~ells us tllU~. it
is of no ultimate importance. For he, hke the. Spmt-

Only let us not talk of this ideal of impersonal, univcrgal
being in individnal consciousness as an unverified dream.
Our sense aI\!1 illlp:d,ience of limitations are the guarantees
that they are not tinal and insuperable. 'Vhence is this
power of standing outside lIlyself. of recognising the worth.
lessness of the pscudo-judgnll'lIts, of the prejudices with
their IlII'id cololll'ing of passion, of the telIlporal interests,
of the ('phcmeralappetites, of all the sensibilities of egoism,
to which I nevertheless smrcI\!ler myself, so that tlll'y
indeed seem myself? Through and above this troubled
atmosphere I seo a being. pme. passionless, rightly mea-
slII'ing the proportions and relations of things, for whom
there is, properly speaking, no present, with its phantasms,
falsitim~. ar\!l half-truths: who has nothing personal in tile
sense of being oppose(l to the whole of related personalities:
who sees the truth mther than struggles logically towards
it, alHl truth of which I can at present form no con-
ception ; whose activities are IlJdlllpeded hy intellectual
(loubt" ullperverted by moral depravity, alHl who is indiffer-
ent to results, 1,ecuu8e he Iw.'1 lIot to gui,le his conduct by
calculation of thpllI, or hy any estimate of their value. I
look np to him with awe, because in being passionless he
sometimes seems to me to be without love. Yet I know
that this is 1I0t so; only that. his love is diffused by its
range, :lIlcl clevll ted in abstraction beyond Illy gaze 11IHI
comprehension. And I see in this being my i,leal, my
higher, Illy only true, in a word, my immortal self.

reply in writillg, IIl1d tu avoid lUI upen discussion of the
}loilltS jll displlte. Nothill~ could possihly he f\lrther from
my intelltiull. A puhlic discllssioll was exactly what I
tlesirell, lllltl ill rel(uestill~ a list of the SWllllli's ohjectiuns.
I distinctly intillHlted that I wOllltl cxpect Ililll tu give mo
an oppurtullity uf wplyillg as pllblicly llS IIC had IIlade the
llttack. The list, dilly sent to me, Ctllltained, liS l\lullslli
Samarthadiin st.'1tes. about fifty (1'lUtatilJlls fmlll Hcripture.
I saw tllllt \llliess some limit wcre set to tho discussiull,
the patieuco uf the audiellce would bet'Ollle cxhausted.
and many of the importallt points woulll uevcl' he over-
taken, hut the statement of tllC Munslli that I suggested
at t111J outset that the l(uest.iuns amI llllS\\'erS un each pas-
Hll.ge should he limited to two, is liable to ht:l misulldcr-
stood. What I stipulated fiJr was that after the Swami
hall full.'1 .• faft'd I,i,. Olil'ctioll,. Oil "allY olle pas.'mge, allll I
hall replied as fully as I tllOught Ilecessary, he shoultl be
at liberty to dispose of Illy !'Cply, as bcst IIlJ mi~ht, and
then after lily rejuindel' to ilis secolld lIpeech, Wil shuuld
go on to the lIt:lxt \loint. My only ubject in tllis was to
secure that we shOll d get ovel' the groulld of cUlltrllversy,
from the begillning to the elld of the Bible, and Ilot l'ollSUllle
all the timo iu wmngliug about l.l. few puintli in UlJ/lusis.
My object was frustrated, however, by a/lother device on
which the Swami iUliisted, viz., that every word of the
,Iebato should be take/l down in writiug. I was c1clightel\
to see three reporters presont, but· I undorstood at nrst
that they were to act lUi reporters in all other cases do-
take down as fullaud correct a report as__possible without
interfering wi th tLo course uf debate. We had no sooner
begun than I found out my mistake. The Swami Ilic/ated
to·the slow-going Hindi and Urdu writers his objections
all the first pll.\lsuge he had solected. As this took up a
considerable time, I replied more briefly than I Lad in-
tended. and perhaps, than I ought to have done, in urder
to save time. 4. second conrso of dictatioll on the purt of
the Swami was followed by a fow brief SClltollces on my part.
by way of reply; and so on, till at the close of the first
two houI'll we had only got to the third of the fifty pas-

other Ilenominations. The c:lllllillates for the ministry arc
this year 22 fewer than 1:lSt yen.r, allil 153 fewer than in
1874.
What is the meaning of this remarkable Ilecline in the
number of theologicalstlllients? Though the population
has beell growing stcn.dily :t1HI lrtrgely in six yenrll, and the
Presbyteria.ns have mallifcsted their interest ill theirreli~i­
,ous ,loetrines by organizing hundreds of new churches, iJIC
Presbyterian young men turn with aversion from the mini-
stry or pass it by to undertake a lIIore congenial career.
Out of all tIw thousands of them. a few score only, anll
they by no means the most promising of these youth, nrc
turning their attention to the study of theology. Money
for the education of minist.l'rs is not lacking, and there
never was an abler body of divinity professors than now.

He came from 0111: uf the richest awJ llobiest Bralalllan
families of Dakkan, wlaere his father was well-known for
11 is magnificent gifts and cIlUritil!s.
Nature Imd enduwed Iailll with· a precocious intel-
lect, since at the age of eighteen lie was thought to possess
a very creditable knowledge ut the English language, and
a tolerably good acquaintance wit.h the other branches of
lcarning. 11e was educated in the Fmc ClllIrch Mission
College.
He was gifted with a poetic and well-re"uluted imll<rina-
.
tlOn, so t Ilut Wile
1'1 yet a student, he acquirml
0 0
the approba-
tion of his friewh; and sUlwriors for his tJxcellen t 'I'alll iI
poems. SOllie uf them have become stanllanl wurks in the
langunge.
From his early ago he showed great interest in religion,
mill all the noblest faculties of his poetic genius were often
brought into play iu singing hymns in praise of the Great
God, the M.ihiidova. His verses were well n~ecived by his
countrymen allli gained for him the title uf" Arootp;\
moorti." He is a Illuster uf music also.
His great desire tu learn what tLe religiuns of other
JlUoplo had tu teach. clLused him to travel to Burmah. lIe
lived tlleW witL his fitther-ill-law who carried on a great
mercantile tmffic. Here he learned from the Poongees
(the Buddhistic priests) the doctrines of their renowned
TeacLer. He stayed tllCre for aoout a year.
After his retul'll from BUrJnah 110 went to the temple of
Nagoor MastLan in Nagapatam and gained tLe truths of
the MO:llem faith from the well-known and Icarnet! fakirs of
the place. These travel:! took IJim'three years. The rcsult
.,f his sellfl:h was that none uf tLese three religions, viz"
BuddllislJI, Christiauity, aud Mollllmmedanism could satisfy
Lis aspiratinns. 110 tuullli to his great disappointment
that 1I0no of them had tLe truo knowledge lind complete
lUethod uf llUl,ling communion wi th the Iufinite Spirit.
He therefore retumed to his own country, easily ubtained
a Government employment. and applied all tLe strength
of Lis hody and mimi to the diligent study of the Hindu
::5hastras. His labours were not in vain since he became
a perfect master uf all the Yedas. Darshanas, &c. 1'hese
lltudi.es touk Ilim sevcu years, allli he had finished now his
twcnty-ninth year.
But though he had kamell all the sacred books of the
Aryas, hc was far from obtaining the true Brahmagiyana.
He had learned to be pious ami religious, kind and c1lllri-
table to all. But in spite of all his piety 31111 devotion his
mind was not Ht case. He had lunged for dil'ect ami litce
to face communiun with God, and he wa.'! still 1IIISUC-
cessfu!. He found out that books could not teach him this
knowledge, and God alone coult! reveal to him the mys-
teries of Godhead.
It was in the twenty-ninth year uf Lis age, when the
nuxiety of Lis mind fur Brahmllgiyana wa.'! the greatest,
that he had a vision of the Infinito. ~pirit. It said IInto
him" Know, 0 Sabhllpati, that I, the Infinite Spirit, am in

up from his bed awl found himself to be full of holy 1II1d
(hvine ecstasy thut made him forget every thing. All
tLings dropped from him as of themselves. he was totally
unconscious even of his ownself. In the dead of the night,
for it was one o'clock of the momimg when he saw the
divine vision, he left his wife aud two sous, wrappe,l his
body with only a sheet. went out of his home and tr<4velled
All the nigLt till he reached the temple of Mtilllldeva, also
called VedllSlJTeni Swayambhu Hthalum. This temple is
lIitunted seveu miles south of Madras. There Le sat before
the MahUdevu. for three days and three nights immersed ill
deop contempilltiou. Ou the third day he huu tho visiou

crossing these dreary anJ pathless forests. I[e was many
times in the close and terrible vicinity of wild Leasts, and
lU1I1 it not been for the grace and protection of the

ferociulls ereutlll'CS. The sllfferings of his way wero in-
creased by tLe want of proper nourishment. He had to
live till' days on fruits and routs, llnd he was not even cortain
whether he shou"l not pick lip some poisunous ruuts.
He searched these tilmsts fill' the em'es of tLe RillllCes.
One day as he was sitting under a tree exhausted ami
disappointed from many days' unsuccessful search, he had
a vision. It ll:lid that. three miles frotll the place where he

Sneh is the brief and unfinished sketch of the life of one
who renollnced in the prime of hiR manhood the house of
his forefatherR, the society of his Ileal' wife and children
and aU that iR dearest an~l most fit...,cinating. The life of
such a man is far mom descrving ollr admiration, wonder,
and reverenCe, than all the hist.ories of generals and stat.es-
men. He who fights with his own carnal passions 11l1ll
appetites and comes Ollt victoriol1s, is far more heroic than
he who conquers nations. Anll that tIle lives of such
men are valned far above those of heroes allli warriors, is
evident when we remember that. whilst kings have lived,
·died and been forgotten, the unanimous voice of mankind
hn.c; consigned the memory of their greatest benefactors to
immortality. Hoping, theref')re, that his life will not be

lIew doctrine to you, teach no new thing; we only remilld
yOIl of the facts of your own history, expound but the
philosophy and science which )'our own wise m('1l taught.
In the 1:,\1' distnnt Past-50 far removed from the pre5ent
that om modern books of history contain no records of it,
but which tho archa-ologists and philologiRt~ vouch for
upon tho strength of intrinsic probabilities-the Aryall
wisdom was carried from theRe shores to the other side of
the globe. Among the remain!! of the prehiRtoric nations
of North and South America, the explorer tlml!! vestiges
of this trans-Illundane outflow of Aryan idelL'l, in the reli-
gious symbolism of their lithic remains, and the lingering
trat.litions of degenerate tribes. If the Zoroastrian Magi
fetl the sacred tiro on their Chaldean towers, so did the
]l1'iests of the :-;un in Mexico anll Peru. N ny, so, to-day
(10 the wretched Zuni Indians of Ari7.ona and New Mexico,
who go out overy morning to greet the rising sun with
reverential prayers anti prostrations. I cannot enlarge upon
this most wonderful theme in the few minutes during
which I shall now speak, but it will be treated, as occa-
sion offers, in our journal where you may all rend it.
You will sec then, in view of the abo\'e fncts, that-as
I remarked before-the coming of our party to India for
the purpose of studying the Aryan philosophy is but a.
natural result of events occurrillg thoUR.'ulIls of years ago
-ages before my own people or any other white mee of

paid by him towards Oriental Science anll Philosophy, alld
ilis just and unaffected inclination towards the Vedic
truths and principles, have encouraged us to present him a
'certificate stating the close ties of union which he Ims fOlm-
ed with our Society, 'Ve think his journal, the THEOSO-
PHlSl', has the true merit of presenting to our view the exact
mcasures whicli llliouid be taken for the revival alltl pelied
development of oUI' Philosophy for'the good of 0111' coulltry.
'Ve have been taken hy surprise at the daring euter-
prise of a foreigner, solicitous to receive the outrageolls
darts of his fellow-countrymen at this grand and noble un-
dertaking. As a matter of fact, men generally say that
the gmnd impulse to such a befitting' revival of the much
neglected Scieuce .and Philosophy of the Aryalls, is the
work of severallllaster minds, and could not be producell
by the meditated cftl)1't of a single man. Being overpower-
ed with this exaggeratell opinion, men are in general not
willing to risk their individllal efforts from the fear of their
ending in smoke. In addition to all these, his unaffectell
love towards our countrymen, as brother:-l and friends, has
produced such a deep and permaneut effect on 0111' lIIiwls
that we cannot forbear mentioning' it in these few lines.

Considerations of delicacy would have preveuted the re-
eipient of this highly honourable' testimonial from per-
lUittillg its publication; but the General Council thollo'lIt
it best that it shollid appeal', since it is importallt that ~III'
whole Society should see that the benign priuciples whicli
we profess arc winlling a way for us illto the hearts of 0111'
Eastern bl"0tliers, and thus ensuring success for 0111' etlorts.
One collateral reason for tlie publication of tim above
documeut is that it turns tlie laugh upon certaill 'Vestem
assailants of Theosophy, who enjoyed a brief merrinlCllt at
dUf expense. Shortly before our Committee sailed frum
America, die N ew York Sun, a very able and intluential
newspaper, in an editorial cntitled "A Missioll a')'aiust
Christianity:' ironically bewailcd the meagre resultll of mis-
sionary work in India, and allnounced the speech departure
of the Theosophists to ally themselves with the" heathens."
This intelligence, the editor said jestingly, "is the IIIUI'e start~
Hng becansc the Hierophant (meaning onl' Presidcnt) has
lately been received into the Brahnumical sect, and is now
.Pandit of New York, and Madame Blamtsky, who has
151
long been fin out-anu-out Brahmuni:d, with a contemptlloll~:
opinion of Christianity, has set her heart Oil ovel'-
throwing the Bible and substitutinO' the Vedas in the
United States...... We arc Ilot infOl'n~d as to the exact
plan of campaign of the Palillit, nor do we know the means.
lIe intCluls to use to get the missionaries into a defensive·
position; but both he and Mme. Blavatsky are fi.lll of re-
Sources and we douht not they have cal'efully considere,l
their stmtegy," Speculatillg upon the reception we would
probably receive un Olll' arrival, the Sun remarks: ., They
ought to be received with great pomp, for they are the first
allies the United :-:>tates have sent out to the heathens and
Hicrophant Olcott is the first and only AmericullPalldit."·
Our sarcastic friend may 1I0W, if these paves shoultl
meet his eye, I'ecall with profit the old adage, ., °He laughs.

in proportion as it was origillally pl'ndrnted with a divine
truth, which has become pen'erted, does it engeDQer hy-
pocrisy. This was so tl'ue of JuJllism, that when till}

blc thc gulf whiel. now Repamtes tIll' jlcoplll lit" India

Still others aver that in thmil' gootl old days cOlIJmuni-

prising philosophers, visiting India, piekellup some know-

without leaving any clue; ami the old prince, half killell

As Hoctor wns tho Princo's sccorul son, he lUlIl, £luI"
ing tho life of his ehler brother, no choice left him, but
to join either the nrmy or the church. All the wealth of
the liuuily passed into tho hauds of Duke Alfonso
R-V-, who wns botrothed, moreover to Bianca Al-
fiOl'i, a rich orphan, left at the age of ten, heiress to all
immense Ii.lrtune. This' marriage united the wealth of
both tho houses of H-V- llIH I Alfieri, llllll it had all been
settled when both Alfonso amI Bil\nCIL were mere children,
without even lL thought as to wllOther thuy w<~nltl cvel'
COIllO to like oach other. Fate, however, Ilecilled it should
be so, and the young peoplu fUl'lllClla Illutunl fillli passion-

As Alfonso was too young to be marriell ho was sent
travdling, awl remaineJ absent fOl' over foUl' years. Upon
Ilis roturn, preparations woro being nllllie fUl' the celebration
of tho nuptials, which the olJ Prince IUlll decided shoultl
form 0110 of the future epopees of Sicily. They wore plallllCll
upon the most magnificent scale. 'fho wealthiest and

A host of hungry poets and 'illtpl'{lvi,~(/IV1'; hall lLrrived,
ll11invitml, to sing, according to the local custom of those
days, tho bcauty and virtnes of the nowly-mlU'riell couple.
Livorno sont no ship loaJ of sonnets, allli Rome the
Pope's blessing. Crowlls of poople curious to witness the
procession had come to Palcrlllo frolll afm'; and wholo
regiments of the light-fingered gcntry prepal'cJ to prac-
tiso their profession at the first opportunity.

Us~lcssly, alas! Alfonso had for sevel'lll days boen going
fmlll t.own to :Monte Cn,valli-a lovely villa of his-to
superinteml in person the preparations fIll' the reception of
his lovely bride, with whom he was to pass llis honey-moon
in that e1lUl'ming village. On Tuesday evening he had re·
pairetl thoro alone and on horseback, as usual, to retlll'll
llllnw oarly on the following morning". About tOll ill tlw
(lvcnillg two cOllladini hatl met antI saluted him. Tlmt
WlLS tho last anyone saw the young Duko.
Later, it was ascertained that on that night a pirato
vessol had boen cruising in the waters uf Palermo; that
the corsairs had been ashore, atHl carried away sevoral
Siciliall women. In tho latter part,of tho last centlll'y,
Siciliall ladies wore considerml ll.8 very valuable goods:
thoro was I). largo demand fi.lr tho commOllity in the mar-
kets of Hmyl'lla, Constantinople, and tho Barbary Cons~ ;
the rich pachas paying for thol\1 enormous snms. Besides
prdty Hicilian women, the pjratos lIsed to smuggle away
rich people for the sake of the ransom. Tho poor men,
whcn caught, shared the fate of the working-cattle, and
fed on flogging. Everyone at Palermo firmly believell
that young Alfonso had been carriel] away by the pirates;
and it Wits far from being improbable. The High Ad-
miral of tho Sicilian navy immediately despatched after
the pirates four swift vessels, renowuetl abovo all others
fill' their speed. The old Prince promised mountains of
gultl to him who would give him back his son ILnd heir.
'l'he little sl]UadrOll being roady, it sproad its sails anll
tlisappeared on the horizon. On one of tho vessels was

the word Illd into Hind, which in their language either
signified the meanings I have already given, or ill the
blindness of their bigotry tlley gave these meanings to
the t.erm Hindu. And no woncler that. they did so, for
it. is the cURtom at least amongst orientals that one sect

The first fmit that a Yogi reaps is that his mind is
always fearloss and his soul happy. 'fheso two qualifica-
tions are tho true attenllants that a Yogi can always count
upon, nnd without these no person should be looked upon
as a Yogi. It is, inlleed, difficult t.o enter 11.11 at once into
the state of Samadhi, but Dhyann., I am sure, is II. stage that
l'an at any rate he reached even by a beginner.
It is in DhyanCl thnt a student of Yoga Vidya begins to
llear that mystic IIIl1sic cnllerI the A 1!lrhad-Shabcl (which
is so beautifully illllstrated at page R7 of the THEOSOPHIST
for January 1880, in the article on Yog Philosophy) which
varies in its tllnes and notes in proportion to the advance-
ment of the stlluent from olle stage to another.
In the first st.age it resembles the chirping of II. sparrow,
in the sec~1lf1 it is twice I\S loud, iu the third it is like the
tolling of bells, ill the fourth like till! blowing of a groat
Rhell, in the fift.h like t.he music of a Illte, in the sixth

of his spiritual development, futurll events nre revenled to
him through dre!lm~ especially those connected with hiR
own person, his intimate friends and nearest relativefl.
But as his DlI!J<i1Ut makes a move nearer to the a.ttlliIlIllC/lt
of Sam&dld, his eapacity is so increasell n.<; to enable him to
see distant ohject" and future events as happening befoTO

BRAIlJrOISJ{ 'V8. IlINnUIS~lf.
BY A I1INDU LAWYIm.
I have no mimi t.o occupy any space iII yoill' esteenu,r1
joul'lla1 wit.h any discussion as to the lClative merits of
t.he two religious, but I propose, with your permission, to
point out to thoso concerned why the new religion has not
been able to progress so well as it should have in the course
of the last half-a-century. Hinduism is the oIUest reli-
gioil in the world, llnd it must be a religion of love and 7/0
dogma that would upset it, if pos!lible. It is a tremendou"
{ld ifice that hn.'l out-lived the raids of time, stood tho
fury of lllany a eyclone, and baffle(1 all foreign aggression.
It embraces all phn.'les of moral philosophy and is, fl'om
IL Hindu point of "iew, the fountain-head of theology.
Brahmoism (or the religion of ono tme Bra/linn), as ori-
ginally found by Rajah Ram Mohun Hoy, has sprung out
of it. Brahmoislll has since received many an accretiou
from foreign bodies, anu alluvium deposited by the wn.'lh-
ing of the tlood of time. It professes to contain the con-
centrated essence of the sweets of all the known religious
of t.he earth. It ought, therefore, strictly speakinu, to
bo the prevl\iling religion nt this hour, at least in I~ldin.
But even in Bengal, it is not the religion of many, but
of a/tlO young Bengalis. Why is this? It is not because
there is any inherent or latent defect in the system itself,
but, because, I believe, there is a fault in its followers. Let
it not be understood, however, that any reflection is in-'

The entire space in a monthly, magazine as large as this

gratify the prejudices of "Heathen," nor strengthen the
scepticism uf "Infi(lels"-ourselve8 included in either

to appear ill these columns, we are merely performing a
plain and imperative duty to the great Eastern public into
wllieh we have become incorporated. EXl'ericllce now
sllpplemellts the illformation previously derived from rearl-
ing, and we sec the missionary emis8aries of Christendom
withholding the truth, and by specious stories labouring
to entice 0\11' people to desert their lloble Aryan faiths and
become converts, If this would make them better, wiser
and ImPl'ier; if the new religion were more cOlHlucive to
public or private good; if the chapters of We8tern his-
tory showed that the lofty ethical code arbitrarily ascri-
berl to .Jesus IUHI elcvatCfI the nations profLHHing it ; if in
Great Britain, Russia, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, the

From one end of Ohristendolll to the other there prevails
neither real }ll'llce, llrothcrhood, colltt'nllllenl, tirm reli-

The sixt.eonth chapter of the First nivisioll of the tellth
SklUlIlIl/\ of tho Hhrimad Bhagavata cOlltainfl a vory ru-
mantio description of the manner ill which Krishlll\ over-
came tlw fury of the great Hydra, namell Kaliya, who ha,1
one hlllllired alllioue hentIs and lived ill n decp part of the
rivor YlUl1ll11a (tho lIlodorn Jumlla). By the poison which
lIe always vomited from his mOllths, eyes, and breath, he
contmninated the whole of that part of the rivt'r, so lIluch
80 that 110 livillg thiug, whether animal or vegetable, cOllhl
Iivein thatregioll for milestogether. One tlay, in ahot seasoll,
while ]{ rishllIl WI1S roaming on the ballk!! of the Yamuna.
with his cO\llmdl's-the shepherd boys,-alld his IwrJs of
cattle, the lattcr beillg very thristy dmnk water from that
part. of tho river, anll immediately died. Whell Krishlla
iillW thcm all ill tlmt state, he, WIth his stave frolll which
flowed the water of immortality, brought them all back to
life, Being tlllls amazed at their illdividllal revival, they
llttrihuted it to tho specialfl\vor of Krishna. On their
return home, the Mlwpherll hoYR circulatcd the neWil of
this miracle of Krishna amongst all tIll' inhahitants of
Vmndtivana, awl they all wondered at it, hut they knew
llim not.
Now Krishna bt~ing omniscient could trace t1lis poison-
ous state of tlll~ waters of the Yall1ul\I\' til its very source, and
with a wiHh tu restore the river to tho Ilrigiual plll'ity of
its waleI', nlHl thereby benefit all tho cl'Oatures wllich dmnk
Ilt it, hu IImdo up his mirul to expel tlw IllOnstllr from his
watery stronghold. Hoon after, Ollt) day in tho absence of
his elder brother Balanima, the boy J( riMhnll, while herd-
ing his mttle with his commdes, slltldt!nly climbed up It
1.'\11 KlltlamlJll treo ,m the bank of tile Yalllulll\., anll plnng-
cd himself into its deep waters, ill the presence of all
his conu'lUles. Hoon after his entrance into the water,
Kri;!llIlll l>ollCld un cnOJnlOUS, hicleous-Iook ing black !'erpellt
(,ollling out suuing at him. 'rhe 1II0nst('r exhibited a
look full of great wumlt'r at tho boldness alHl audacity of
a boy of so tender IlIl age in thus {Jllcrlladling suddenly
upou the cnvirolls lind abode of so powmfullt heillg as him-
self', in that deep ali(I seclnded part of tho river, I.e, whicll
lLU livillg !'\'I'atme coulll have lmyaceeSH. But, wllf'n he
fmther saw th~ hoy lallglling 111 II I playing witll all case
/lnll boyish gambols, in his own 1lI11llSioil, Ilis wonder
('hauged soon into a fearful ire, at this dauntless audacity of
the boy in thus disturbing the waters of Yamlllul. and tlltl
pence of his own mind. He, therefure, seiz".1 the boy and
eutwined Lis body all arollJltl with his own. \\fllOn the shep.
herd boys could no longer bear the lung absence of Krishna
ill the waters, they suspected that somdhing very
serious had happened to him, and, tLerefi,re, tlwy imme-
diately mn home crying, to conununicate this intelligence
to his pareuts. These, followell by all tllC IlWII nuJ wo-
Illell of V mja, hnstolled to the spot at whieh I( rislilln was
suspected to havo heen drowned. II is brothel' Blliarama
,lid not join the crowd, fil)' he was perfectly aware of the
divinity of Krishlla and of his omuipotellce. From au
elevation they all discerned there the most perilous situa-
tion of their darling Krishna, coiled as tllt'y fuund him by
a large bllU~k serpent. ready to kill him. When they be-
held this, they began to weep and cry, as they did lIot
know how they could extricate Lim frolll the grasp of that
monster. Being fully conscious of their sincere love ami
llevotion fur him, Krishna ml\Ale his own small body
swell out alit) enla.rge from within the coilillgs of the sel:.
pont, to Much an extent that the 1l10usttJr cou It! 110 10llger
hold him hut nt tho hazarll of his own lifo, and was, there-
fore, too glad to disen1.'\ngle himself, I1IHI til let Krishna
alone. N ow full of I'llge, the monster stood at a distance
from Krishna, alltl looked at him with his eYUM nnd breath
vomiting. l1Iltl his split tongues rolling in vil'llll!nt poison,
and ready to bite him. KrisLna, like Garuda., (the great
18:1
eagle of Vishnu) at once darted upon him, seized him by
the tail, whirled Ilim ruund and round tilllw lllUl lost all
!Jis vigour aud st)'('ngth, antI theil, all of Il suddell, jumped
upou !Jis widu huud and began to dance upcm it with all
t.ho gl'llt~efuilless of all accomplished waltzel. It has been
already notio"d that KuliYll had olle hUlldred nlHl ono

THE MIND IS lIJA1'ERIAL.
DY BAllU AMRITALAL DE.
The human mind is material, allli tlies with the «pnth
of tlur 1II0rt:d frame. I define mind to be the. result of
the Illlrmoniou8 ullion and adjust lIIeut of the visible and
latlHlt orgallisms, or the organs that. make up the hllman
fl'l\lIIe, hllvillg its seat in the centre of the ncrvous system.
Metaphysics acknowledgcs the truth that where the callRe
is mortal, tlae effect mllst be liable to destrllction. This
is ILIl axiolllatic truth, and it H!lluries no Hamilton, no
]jilin to prove its validity. Well, then, hero the organR
joilltly furm the cause, and the lIIind is their result. These
orgalls perish with the death of the bOOy, for they limn
only the different part.'\ of the lxxl)', consequently, the
hUlllan mind, the result of their union, perislles with
them.
The mind pos.c;esses or exercises ce,,,tain powers or fllllC-
tions. It rell.'lOnS, judges. thinks, cOllceives, remembers, nnd
imagines. In its healthy stnte it \,erforms all its functions
elllly /tllli fully; bllt when diseasCl , it loses one or other of
it.~ powers or loses them all. In a fainting fit or sensele!1.'lo
Hess, for instllnce, the mind ceases to perform all its func·
tions, aIHI the man who is tho subject of it, hns the con-
Hciousness of nothing passing within. These facts clearly
])1'O\'e that the mind is as mortal as the organs are, of which
it iR simply the result.
To illustrate the matter more fully. let us take the
COlllmon example of no watch. The mechallism of n wakh,

when dilly udjusted, produces motioll ; but whell it is in
Ii disordere<1 state, or when it stops working, lllotion ami
the point,ing out of time by tile hallds, cease to exist at
the very sunw tillle. 'Vliat ,Iol's this prove? It proves
vtn'y clearly that all effect beurs the same natllre as llues
its CaUSl!, 01' ('llIISeS joilltly assimilate,l.
Fl'om what has been stated ahove, a II11Ul may he lIatll-
rally Iml to ask that if OUl' millli is 1II00'tal, we are mortal too;
and with tho dissoilltion of 0111' lllortal fl'Unll', every thillg
, uf liS will be brought to an clld, alld consequently, tlll'ro
call1lot possibly be allY futllTc world of reward allll pllnish-
ment suhllelJuellt to uur death. The following stute-
ments will:mttice to satis(y tile enl(lIiI'tH'. Man possesses,
two importullt CSMcllces, the lile alld the 80111. It ill heyollll
lUan's IIQWCI' to ullllerstallli \V Ililt t1lesll essences arc in
reality, IInloss he mil actually seo them by going into tllC
spiritual world, which no mall, till 110 is" born again," can
possibly do. '1'I1e lilH eomprehension of spiritual o~iects
the enlightene,l spirit call only have. 'Ve cun IHlvo ouly a
faint idea of tllCllI by a comparisoll of these with tlte IlIll-
terial o~jeets we see aUlI feel.
The sou) of Ullin has the same relation tu tile Hllpreme
SonI as a rny of light has to tho Sllll, and 0\11' lifo lll!llrs tile
llanlO rolation to 0111' soul which tho I',dieet ion of tho ray

to the my IIml the ray to the SIIIl, so is 0111' life to 11111' S01l1

As a corrohurative evidence of whnt I Lave nss()rtell
above, I silllply cite here a pllssuge fWIIl the First Book
of the Pentatcllch-" God made IIIlIU ill his illlage, Ollt

, As to tllo proof of the imlllOrtlLlity of our so1l1 11.1111

maturity, and, n.s it is llesiraLlo that the sexual foeling in·
th!J husband and tho wife slwuld ellll at the same time, it i~
lIccc:!sary that thore shoulll be a difference between their
respective ages of about ton years. Thi~ is the united
opiuio!1 of the best \Vestern pllysiulogists. Women lose
~hat feeling at the age of forty-five, 111011 at lifty or lifty-
five.
Now let us cOllshler what sort of woman Hhould be cho-
sen luI' a wife. Hhe must be healthy and have 110 di~el\.sl',
or else not ollly will she be a hurden to Ilel' IIIISbaIul, hut
she will bring forth sickly childroll. A WOUHlII with 'luite
a white filee and a botly like a wax st.atllc tlwlwll herself
,
healthy, will never have healthy childrell. It is bettcr

Again, it is necessary that their temperaments shoultl
be ditlereut, becausc they will thcn bc more likely to have a
great love for eneh othcr, which is one of tlte prillcipal
thillgs tltat ellS\ll'O good progell)'. The lleielleO of ChLHllis-
try proves tlmt twu snhstnllce~ of oppusit.e lJualities havo
a grcat affinity to each other. 'rhus, the tClldcucy of au
ncitl i~ to combille with an alkali, lllld these substmlces arc
of exactly opposite properties. The result of such a CUIII-
bination is well' kllown to he a snit, which ditii~rs from
either, hut unites the Ilubstltlleus of bot!l. Moreovcr, Ihe

Among us, the lil'st of thcse IlI'obllbly results fl'om the

dlll'illg tbis period. Whatcver llIay have been the canse,
tbis is tile fact, tllat at tlte SassHlli;tn period, when the
reyivul of tile Zuroastrian religion tuok place, the larrrest
bulk of tile sacred writillgs wns gone Hlltl only a ;ery
6l1lalll'0rtiun allll that tuo, except the Vendid,ld. in a frag-

men uf tlte Sassaniau period put tugetller according to
tlteir IlIlllerslalHlillg tu make sumething like a consis-
tent whule, and to explain them, wrute cOllllllentaries in

and the Hiruzalt (thirty days) or clllendur.
The COlli man upinion of tlte Zoruastrians ascribed all
the above-natned purtions us well as tlte tweuty-one Nosks
in their entirety to the alltllOrship of ZOl'Uaster. MOllei'll

language is the same, hy the difference ill slyle, that these
",,'ritings were the productions of ditlcl'ellt persons lllll!
brollgllt into existellce at different time8.
Thus the langnagc in wltich the writillgs exist klS be-
come tim indicator of the Jleriods uf their COlli position and
of their uutlwnll,ip. According to this telSt, the oldest of

were clllbodiel! ill the "Yaslla," alld whicll ",ith the
exccption uf sOllie few passages are ascril)l'd to ZaratliU-
st ra himself.
Some Jlortioll of the remaining .. Yasna" cOlltuills the
prayers very well-known to Zoroastrians, viz., "Yatlla-
AllII-verio," " Ashcm-Volm," and" YIUlgch-Hut(ml." These
sllIall pmyers are declared to llave belm cven older than
the Olttluls theillsel Yes.

DEAlt BnoTHlms: Of the many nUll tlifleront meetinn's
in which I have presided in my life, this one is for /lie tl~e
most ng~'cel\ble of all, beca~l~o it has not for its o~icct llny
worldly II1tercst, or any politICal scheme, Nor is it for liter-
ary discussions that we have tbis, tlay assolUbled to<rethcr
tI , That in order to approach thl) sllhlinw antI 1Il1vrnificent
but to soe ourselves cOllfirmell III the ~aCl'ed allll sublimo
office of confessors of progress, I Jare not say uf Truth,
because it being located in an elevated site, it is not easily
accessible, more especially to myself, who am powerless
nnd voiJ of' merits.
Nevertheless, I see, my deal' Brothers, that in spite of
the baniers and thorns by which we aro sUlToulldCtl in
these places, we have progressed a step further towards
our object, for we aro here ullited ill tho hanw faith with
the same Iletermiuation of progressing, and, thl'refi)\'c, 1
trust that our object may be prosperous,
To crown our wisllCs to satbfy our Jcsires, the worthy
Central Society has sellt us the Chal'tel', which I present
to you that it may be deposited ill our lIrchives.
If until now 0111' Society hml been vllcillatin<r anll un-
certain, let us trust that 1'1'0111 this mOlllent ,~c Illay llc
fixed find sottled alltl our duties be more assiduous, 1IIore
positive find sincel'c.
It is tl'\le that the belief in Que First Cause, in the
illtlividuality and immortality of the llUman f>oul, iu its
eternal progrcss, in the firm desire to filneliorate our own
moral cOllllition, in loving OUl' neighbours as ourselves, in
rendering ourselves useful to all humanity, in ondowing
our intellect, our faith amI our belief, faith find belief
which we feel as if born in us or brought with us li'DlIl a
previous existence, all this is true, I seo it, I hellr it at
every 1I10ll1ont repeated by you, I rejoice and heartily
rejoice and feel happy for it ; but this is not enough, great
ideas must not only be felt, not only be loved, but we must
exercise llnd develop them, we must make them evident,
own thelllllnd teach them by word llnd in deed.
'V hat are we, therefore, to do, in ol'ller to rcnuer our-

Several of you, Brothers, have tasted anll will taste the
divine pleasure of healing or mitigating the infirmities of
YOUI' suffering brothers by mesmerism. I, too without

I do ~lOt posse~s) hn~e been and an~ hapPl wLellever, by
the sllllple laymg of my hands, and lI11plonng the help of
the Author of the power of creation have cured and do
cnre several, nay many cases of dangerous fevers, wounds,
hemorrhages and even some of cholera, But this is not
the only power attainable by mall; more occult, greater
and deeper mysteries, are yet to be unveiled, amI the
knowledge of these is likewise II favour which is not grant-
ed to the first comer, To dispose more or less of the
force of nature, it is not given t.o all, because evCl'y one
would not make gOOiI nse of it. The heart of man is for
the greater part prolle to evil, clinging to the things of the
earth, more than to the heavenly treasures, or iu better
words, to terrestrial Iif~ rather than to spiritual thing:;.
\Vhll.t won]11 happen If the occult sciences were in the

At the first meeting 1I11der 0111' new Charter when we
('liter upon 0\11' dllties as members of the ,Bombay Theoso-
phical ~ocicty, it. seems lIecessary that we should hegil1
with fOl'lI1ing a clear idC'a, as far as possible, of what Wll
I1rc as Theosophists. All the lIIembers 1II11st have at somo
tillle or other sd this cJllcstion to themselves, alld answer-
ed it more or lesR satisfactorily to themselves. III t.he
first lIumber nf the TIIEOHOI'IUST two elaborate and higll-
ly IlllIl'lled nrticles we devotell t.o the two (l'lCstions,
" Whnt is Theosophy," alHl " What are tho Theosophists,"
But the vastllcss of the questions allll the great learning
that is necessarily employcli in answering them allli aho\'e
all their pamllllt\lIIt importance tu us, make it very desir-
able tlmt we shollld han', at the outRet of our cO\l1'se of Stll-
dies, Il free awl patient discussion aIHI criticism 011 the suh-
jed, I now IllY before yOll what I uuderstand. My views
I1Te of' comso uot authoritative. I Pllt them forward CIS I
have them, tn he discussed and criticizell, so that. in tlw
cnd, each one of liS may have n. sufliciently clear nnd de-
finite \11lllerstuuding as to what, is TheosopllY find what
are the Theosophists.
From the subjects that. Theosop1l)' deals with allll
eriticizes, as Ii\!' as we have had the opportllnity of observ-
ing, we see that it covers the whole ground occupied by
Religion, }}hilosophy aIHI Science. It has ROlllething to
say by way of confirmation or correction to each of theRc,
rr it sllidllothing more thau what Ueligion, Philosophy /LIHI
Science teach us, Theosophy woulrl be useles.q, But a.q
we will sec in the sequel, it says a good delll more thllll
cach one of t.hese emhodiments of t.J'Ilths, 01' all of them
combinecl, tell Uf;. Covering thelll all under it.s wiugs.
it corrects the faults alld enol's of each one aud leads t.hem
on far beyond their present position. "~e will, therefore,
understand very clearly Theosophy as a whole, if we eon-
sider it separately in its relatioll with Heligion, with Philo-
sophy and with Science,
The (Iuestion, therefore, t.hat we have to begin with is-
What is Religion '? No word seems to be Illore familiarly
\lsed than the word religioll, aIHl I should thillk no wo1'l1
is more indeHnitely undcrstuod than this. If we look at
the llillerent systems which nre known under the nanll-'
of religion, anti see what functions they are intended to
perform we find that at the base of all the huge accumu-
lation of rituals, ceremonials allli observances, there is olle
avowed object common to all religions-whether they nrc'
clnimed to be revealed or natural- religions-they have nil
one ol~icct, viz.. to convey the will of God to lIIan. They
tell what man sllOuld believe and do j llllil the ollly reflEOII

These gentlemen are in great fear for the 'future of uur
most holy aud perfectly autllCllticated l'eli'Tion and have
like fllitlJful watchmcll' from the walls aJlll toW~I'S of Ziun'
Imstcned to give the alarm. They have inforllled COIl~

pidated structure is exposed to the view of the Jilithful

and here is his mat! tu the celestial laud." That .. Joss is
locatell ill a long, Ilanow room ill a buildiug ill It back

, that" he is a woodell im:JlYe

that the Chiuese .. thiuk th~'e is such It place as heave~ ;"
dlUt all. classes of Chinamen worship iduls;" tllllt .. the

big, Iwry eycballs. Ahout him arc placet! oJl'crings of
Incat lind other eatables-a sacrilicial oftering."
No wouder that theso mcmbers of tllO cOll1mitlee worc
shocked at such an illlage of (lod, knowing as they did
thllt
'l'UE ONl.Y THUE GOO
was cUl'1'ectly described by tbe inspired lunatic of Pahllos
in thc following worlls :-
" And there sat in the millst uf tile seven golden candle-
sticks one like unto the SOil of man, e10thell with a
garment duwn to the fuot, and girt abollt the paps with
II golden girdle. His heMI Hlld his hairs were white like
wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a Ihlllle of
fire; and llis feet like unto fine brass as if they hU1"llcll in
a furnace; ami bis voice as the sound of lllallY waters.
Ami he hall in llis right hand sevcn stars; ami uut of Ilis
mouth went a sharp two-edged swurd ; allll I. is COllllte-
nance was as the sun sltineth ill Ilis strellgtlt."
Certainly a large muuth filled with white teeth is pre-
ferable to OliO used as tho scabbard of a sharp, two-
edged sword. Why should these gentlemen object to II
god with big fiery eyeballs, whon their UWIl Deity bas eyes
like a flame of fire?
h it not a littl~ late in the day to ubject tll pL'ople
because tllCy sacrifice loeat ami uther eatables'tu tllcir
gUll! We all kllOW tlntt ft.lI' thuusands uf years the
" real" GOll was exceedingly fU11l1 of roastell meat; that
he loved the savour of burning flesh, a IIII deligllted in
the perfullle of fresh, warm blood.
The fullowing' aecoullt of the mUllller in wbich tile
"living God" desired tlmt His chosen people shlluhl saeri-
tice, tends to ~how the dl·gradatioll amI religious blindness
of the Chinese:

Soptember, 1880.] THE THEOSOPHIST.

PUZZLES FOR TIlE PIllLOLOUIS'llS.
BY ltA~WHANDHA llAPlTJI ,/ADHAO HAO, ESQ.
In the May THEOSOPHIST is an article in connection with
the 1ll0nogel{istic tllCol'y of prior residence of one cummon
ancestral Aryan family in Centml Asia, discussed lIllller ll.
similar heading iu the March uUlllher.
The writer appealing to the science of language, lays
tho greatest stress on philology, !llltl presumes that the
mere existence of' a few Sanskrit words in some of the
'Vestern (European) languages is a suflicient evidelJce to
wal'raut the cOlJclusion that all Aryan fiunily once livell
at a time liS out of memory, in Centl'al Asia, allli thelJce its
IletaclllllelJts marclwli into Europe, Persia and Indill. ] It)
tloes not, however, attempt to explain the other poiuts
which Hitch It cOllelusiolJ, if at all admitted, illvolves,
but Icaves thom to be answerc,l bylsome abler writer than
lJimself, ",hom he invites to join him in the nehl of dis-
cussiou.
As the above eonclusiou is shown to be the result (Jf
philology, let WI seo on what oviuences aUlI testimullics it
is based.
So late as an hundred years ago. the students oflanguagns
thrOll"'llOut Enrope believed that the Hebrew was the
most ~ncient tongue of all the world. This was t.110 lan-
guage of tlte Jewish nation, tlte language in whiell was writ-
ten t.lte old TcstanlOnt, or tltat purt of' the Bible wlliclt
Hpcnks of the creation of til(' wOI'hl awl the gcuesis of
mankind. Tho Hebrew was. there/oro, looked III'0n as
the methotl of speech given directly by God to IIHllI at II is
ereation, alHI (;onsequently tlte earliest Hpokell lallguage.
It was supposell that as munkiud increased in uumbers
lllHI separated into dilli.mmt triIJ,)s fllllillatiuns, tlw Hobrew
was split up, allll tmnsf'ul'llwd into various dialects, awl
Since the introduction of' the stmly of Sanskrit. into
Europe. tlte van beillg" led by the btll Sir \Yillialll Jones.
uul' of tho judges of the High Comt uf Judicature at
Oalcutta, who lived at tbo cluse of tlte eighteeuth cen-
tlll'Y. a cllano'e .rraJnally rrlided in. The European scholars

o 0
ing IL resemblance between some comlllon-p Iaee wonI S 01 '
Sanskrit llnd of S01l10 of tlte Europeau lallguages, began to
form quecl' ideas, that tho EllI'opeaus, Persiaus alltl H in-
dus belonged primarily to one Aryau family, which
once lived in Central Asia. :LillI lilul Sanskrit ti)l' their
tongl1e; a theory diametrically opposed to the ol1tgivillgs
of Ilistory, chronology, lllytbology :Lwl geography mnoug'
every nation on the filCe of tIto cQrtiJ.
To strellgtlwn tIle above tlwory or to invest it with t.ho
charactel' of fact and truth, strange cOlljectlll'cs, clotlll'd
in tile garb of History, are brought forward: to-wit, that
the Aryan tribe, (Hindus) quitting their ancestral abode
ill Centl'lll Asia, crossed tile Hindu Kush, ana tr:wersill~
the Himalayan snows southwllnb, settlcli tllUmselves 011
the hanks of the five rivers wilich water the great traet,
which derives its nllme Pnnjauh therefmll1, and th,l!, ever
since the Hindus have called that regioll their home; lllltl
it is said t.ha.t before that time, they lived iu more northern
regions witllin tile sallie precincts with the allcestors of
Greeks, Italians, Slavonialls, Germans alit I Oelts os IlIClll-
bel'S ot' oue great family.
Neither the EllI'opcnns 1101' the Hind liS, nOlO l\ny other
nation under the sun ever possessed, nor so lIIuch liS had
p\'ell the !ilintust knowledge of this strange tradition, no ..
du the nursery tales which lire said to have heL;ll carried
