Monograph on T. Subba Row, 1856-1890
N. C. Ramanujachary
Introduction to the 2012
Online Edition
T. Subba Row (1856-90) was an earlier member of
the Theosophical Society. He was greatly
impressed by the work of Madame Blavatsky’s “Isis Unveiled”, and entered into
correspondence with her. His article “The Twelve Signs of the Zodiac” was
written and published in the monthly journal “The Theosophist”, well before he
formally joined as a member. He was instrumental for the visit of the Founders
to Madras
Having traced his Life
and Work in a span of few years (1881-90) in two slim volumes, viz. “A Lonely
Disciple” and “An Enduring Philosopher”, I am now working on his Ten Letters to
his associates and am also attempting to abridge his “Lectures on
Bhagavad-Gita”, which hopefully will be ready during the current year. His
writings and philosophy need a close, insightful look.
It is rejoicing news that www.Esoteric-Philosophy.com , www.Theosophyonline.com and www.FilosofiaEsoterica.com are placing the book “A Lonely Disciple” on digital mode, so that the contents are accessible to all interested in the history of the early days of the Movement and the pristine character of its philosophy. The “Forgotten pages” need revival and our continued attention.
