Volume V of the Monthly Journal Devoted
To Oriental Philosophy, Art and Occultism
Helena P. Blavatsky (Ed.)
Helena P. Blavatsky (1831-1891) founded “The
Theosophist” in 1879 and edited it for a few years
A 2017 Editorial Note:
The fact is well-documented in “The Mahatma Letters” that the Masters themselves – and several of their direct disciples – helped in various ways the editorial work of “The Theosophist”, as long as the journal was edited by Helena P. Blavatsky.
This ceased to occur during the fifth year of the magazine, published between October 1883 and September 1884.
HPB stopped working directly as its editor the moment she left India for Europe on February 20, 1884. However, her pupil and co-worker Damodar Mavalankar remained active in Adyar and helped editing the magazine for about one year more.
