About Me

I was a flamboyant smoker, writer, conversationalist. A Russian by birth, I spoke French, Russian and English and wrote in these three languages. The majority of my writings were in English. Though I was a public defender and popularizer of Eastern Religion and theosophy in general, I publicly proclaimed myself a Buddhist when I took Pansil (the five Buddhist precepts) in Ceylon .

My writings

Isis Unveiled The Secret Doctrine The Key to Theosophy The Voice of the Silence I also wrote a multitude of articles, some of which are online at several places like:

A selection of my articles at Blavatsky Net Selected Blavatsky articles, biography and historical documents

My Interests

My main interest in life was the founding of the Theosophical Society with the help of my good friend Henry Steel Olcott. In that organisation we worked towards finding the underlying wisdon in all religions, philosophy and even sciences. In my books my interests shine through:
religion, parapsychology, spirituality, occultism, theosophy, wisdom, human rights, Christianity, Buddhism, Yoga, Brahma Vidya, Hinduism and Kabala.

I'd like to meet:

Every servant to humanity
