About the book: 2013 / The book is a complete collection of occult and mystical stories by the outstanding Russian esoteric philosopher E.P. Blavatsky. She is known throughout the world as the founder of Theosophy, a syncretic religious-mystical teaching about the unity of the human soul with the deity. The main provisions of this teaching are set out in her programmatic works: “The Secret Doctrine”, “Isis Unveiled” and “The Key to Theosophy”, which are well known reading public. Travel essays about the cultural traditions and customs of the peoples of India are published less frequently: “From the Caves and Wilds of Hindustan” and “Mysterious Tribes on the Blue Mountains.” However, few people know that Helena Petrovna Blavatsky was also an excellent prose writer. From her pen came the most interesting and exciting stories, the striking distinctive feature of which was the living mystical experience of the author in combination with the peculiar “co-authorship” of the high Adepts of the Sacred Teaching, known as Mahatmas, or Great Teachers. The reader will find these stories in this book, and they are unlikely to leave him indifferent.
