Author

Gottfried de Purucker
(1874 – 1942)

G. de Purucker born in 1874 at Suffern, New York, was son of an Anglican minister who later served as chaplain of the American Church in Geneva, Switzerland. There his studies specialized in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek in preparation for the ministry. However, sub­sequent study of the early Church Fathers, Eastern philosophies, and Sanskrit led him to theos­ophy.  Dr. de Purucker was head of the Theosophical Society from 1929 until his death in 1942. Perhaps his greatest contribution to spiritual thought has been his elucidation of the writings of H. P. Blavatsky.
