""Did Madame Blavatsky Forge the Mahatma Letters"" is a book written by C. Jinarajadasa, which delves into the controversy surrounding the authenticity of the Mahatma Letters. The Mahatma Letters are a collection of letters allegedly written by highly evolved spiritual beings known as Mahatmas, which were received by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, the founder of Theosophy, in the late 19th century. Jinarajadasa examines the evidence surrounding the authenticity of the Mahatma Letters and presents arguments for and against their validity. He explores the possibility that Blavatsky may have forged the letters herself, as some critics have suggested, and also considers the possibility that the letters were genuine but may have been tampered with by others after Blavatsky's death. The book presents a balanced and well-researched analysis of the controversy surrounding the Mahatma Letters, drawing on a wide range of sources and perspectives. It offers a fascinating insight into the history of Theosophy and the ongoing debates surrounding its founder's legacy. Overall, ""Did Madame Blavatsky Forge the Mahatma Letters"" is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of spiritualism, esotericism, and theosophy.1934. The general impression which remains in the minds of many of the public is that H.P. Blavatsky invented the Mahatmas, and that she buttressed this invention with various forms of impersonation and trickery, including among them the concocting of letters in various handwritings supposed to be written by the Adepts. Jinarajadasa explains and presents the evidence from several sources that indeed the Mahatma letters were a forgery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
