Theos-Talk Archives (January 2002 Message tt00424)

One of Brigitte's postings quotes Agehananda Bharati as follows:

Agehananda Bharati, writes in "Fictitious Tibet" Tibet Society 
Bulletin 7, 1994: " The Master Letters signed "K" are quite clearly 
Blavatsky's own invention; no Indian or Tibetan recluse talks or 
writes like the European feuilleton writer of the early 20th century. 
In a passage, "K" (for Koot Hoomi) criticizes a writer for saying 
that "the sacred man wants the gods to be properly worshipped, a 
healthy life lived, and women loved." "K" comments "the sacred man 
wants no such thing, unless he is a Frenchman." The inane stupidity 
that must have gone into the early converts actually believing that 
an Indian or Tibetan guru would use these European stereogibes is 
puzzling." 

Much of what Agehananda Bharati writes about Blavatsky in 
his "Fictitious Tibet" article is questionable to say the least.
