Description: "The Gupta Vidya contains the Theosophical writings of Raghavan N. Iyer, published in Hermes from 1975 through 1989 and collected and revised by himself. This first volume provides an overview of the Gupta Vidya, the timeless teachings of Theosophy, focusing on the nature of deity and septenary composition of both Nature and the human beings. Beginning with an overview of Theosophy and its ageless wisdom, essays illuminate the self-existent nature of deity beyond all thought and conception, the creative logos behind and within the sevenfold manifestation of existence, the nature of consciousness and the highest principle, Atman. Then the whole of involution and evolution is set out in a cosmic context and with special reference to the human being as an immortal soul, the real Man in each individual, and its role in the evolutionary process. The last section of essays surveys the nature of consciousness and self-consciousness at their various levels of activity."--Book jacket.

"Shri Raghavan Iyer was a profound and magnanimous teacher of Theosophia - the Wisdom-Religion. The luminous essays in this volume represent the efflorescence of a life-time dedicated to the great cause of the Theosophical Movement: universal brotherhood. They were written for Everyman and will continue to benefit the ready and receptive readers of every race, religion and civilization for centuries to come."--Amazon.ca description.
