EPILOGUET Subba Row (1856-‘90), as is well known and lamented too, lived for a very short span of life. His (theosophical) literary career can be said to have started on Sept. 14, 1881 (referring to his first article on “Twelve Signs” to The Theosophist, November); and ended sometime in 1888 (the last reported article “Occultism in Southern India” being ‘a summary of a discussion at Adyar Library, on 1st December 1888). In a short period of about 7 years, he wrote many review articles, essays;…See More

Taraka Raja Yoga -4There is a considered opinion that the quintessence of TRY is embedded in SRI RAMA HRIDAYAM boxed in the first canto of Adyatma Ramayanam. Here Sri Rama interferes to give instruction direct to Hanuman who was being taught the transcendental nature by Sita. The instruction runs to 9 sloka-s (44-52). The gist of the verses is thus:I shall teach you the true nature of Atma - Anatma and Paramatma[Logos, Individual soul, Pure Consciousness]. Just as Akasa(Space) assumes three…See More

TARAKA RAJA YOGA -2HPB correlates this in her statement:“The Taraka Raja Yogis recognize only three Upadhis, in which Atma may work. These three states are: Jagrat(Waking), Swapna(Dreaming), Sushupti(Causal). Corresponding to Sthula Upadhi, Sukshms Upadhi and Karana Upadhi.

Taraka Raja Yoga-1The Taraka Raja Yoga system of Thought (TRY), is one brought into currency of modern philosophical studies by the Theosophical movement, greatly influenced by Sri T Subba Row. While basic matter in this essay is from TSR, some more additional data is added by the compiler. Raja yoga is basically a system of developing the Mind (Manas), the fifth principle in man, so that it can enliven the human being, rise to the higher states of consciousness. There are many yoga-s and of…See More

OCCULTISM : ANCIENT AND MODERNThe term ‘occultism’ is a derivative of ‘occult’ which has its origin in Latin word ‘occulere’ meaning ‘conceal’. Madame Blavatsky brought currency to this word in her articles and books, using it in identical meaning with ‘Adhyatma Vidya’ in India. She, in her essay ‘Practical Occultism’ even suggests that ‘it is easy to become a theosophist’ but ‘it is quite another matter to oneself upon the Path which leads to the knowledge of what is good to do, as to right…See More

I am aware of T. Subba Row's work, and have a special fascination in the dispute with HPB over the 7 principles.
Also interesting is the appropriation of his work by Alice Bailey and others, especially regarding the 7 Rays.
Subba Row also had a rather mischievous, and I would almost go as far as to say cruel side. In his Esoteric writings he had a piece on fortune tellers, specifically the piece on Nadigrathams (I hope I didn't butcher the spellings). The way that he messed with the fortune teller's mind was akin to someone playing mind games with a small child. But that is just my observation.
In addition I was introduced to an idea, given by a member here who is of another tradition speculating that much of what Subba Row did after his bout with Blavatsky was designed to deliberately sabotage any work that HPB was doing. It is well known that Subba Row thought HPB was giving out secrets indiscriminately and part of the mythology is that had a bearing on his subsequent illness and death.

I am sorry but I do not see, and am not aware of the series that you are referring to. Subba Row is a fascinating and controversial figure within the Adyar Theosophical tradition. In discussions with other "Theosophical scholars" (an oxymoron of sorts...like jumbo shrimp or military intelligence) Subba Row's appears as a somewhat malefic character hell-bent on punishing HPB for revealing secrets to a non-HIndu world.
All-in-all, an interesting character, from just about any angle.

I recall there is a new librarian for the Olcott library. Looks like unless someone personally visits and talks to the top elected officials, especially the International President, nothing is going to happen. I hope the rare archival material is well protected from the hot and humid Adyar weather.

Alas I cannot remember exactly where he was from, but I enjoyed working with him very much. We had many interesting discussions about spirituality, economics, politics, etc.! :-)
