"Five Years of Theosophy"


I purposely leave aside all proofs which are already before the public.
Each set of proofs is conclusive in itself, and the cumulative effect of
all is simply irresistible.

Interview with a Mahatma

At the time I left home for the Himalayas in search of the Supreme
Being, having adopted Brahmacharyashrama (religious mendicancy), I was
quite ignorant of the fact that there was any such philosophical sect as
the Theosophists existing in India, who believed in the existence of the
Mahatmas or "superior persons." This and other facts connected with my
journey are perfectly correct as already published, and so need not be
repeated or contradicted. Now I beg to give a fuller account of my
interview with the Mahatmas.
Before and after I met the so-called Mahatma Koothum-pa, I had the good
fortune of seeing in person several other Mahatmas of note, a detailed
account of whom, I hope, should time allow, to write to you by-and-by.
Here I wish to say something about Koothum-pa only.
When I was on my way to Almora from Mansarowar and Kailas, one day I had
nothing with me to eat.
