The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett

Record summary

The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett are a collection of correspondence associated with the Theosophical Society, chiefly from the early 1880s and later published in book form. Their accounts of hidden teachers, occult transmission and unusual communications have sometimes been compared with modern claims about nonhuman intelligences or anomalous contact. The letters matter as a study of contact narratives and evidentiary disputes in colonial India. Their authorship, production methods, supposed locations and paranormal mechanisms remain contested, and the material belongs to occult history rather than aviation reporting.
