Alfred Percy Sinnett was a British journalist and occultist who played an important part in the affairs of the Theosophical Society during its first generation. In the early 1880s A.P. Sinnett corresponded with the Mahatmas Koot Hoomi and Morya. In these letters the Masters gave Sinnett the basic ideas of Theosophy on the constitution of man, the planetary chain, the world periods, life after death in Devachan and Kâma-loka, the progress of humanity, Buddha and Nirvana. In 1883 Mr. Sinnett wrote "Esoteric Buddhism" based on his understanding of these teachings. This classic was the first simple exposition of Theosophy in modern times.
The Mahatma Letters to A.P. Sinnett is a book published in 1923 by A. Trevor Barker. The work consists of one-hundred and forty-five letters written by masters Koot Hoomi and Morya to Theosophical author Alfred Percy Sinnett (author of the much renowned work Esoteric Buddhism) between the years of 1880 and 1884. The letters are particularly important to the Theosophical Society and their wider movement because of their long elaborate discussions of the theosophical cosmic order and spiritual hierarchy. It is generally regarded as the most authoritative work of theosophy that is accessible to the general public.
No other book is quite like this private collection of letters. Preserved in the British Library, they were written between 1880 and 1884 to Alfred P Sinnett, editor of a leading Anglo-Indian newspaper, The Pioneer. His correspondents were two Mahatmas whom H P Blavatsky has acknowledged as her teachers and the inspirers of her Isis Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine. First published in 1923, this important volume is filled with sublime philosophical and ethical instruction, revealing not only far-reaching concepts of religious and scientific thought (since proven in large degree prophetic), but also practicality, warmth of heart, patience, and ripeness of humour. The letters, moreover, yield a clearer understanding of H P Blavatsky and of the Mahatmas' aim in fostering universal brotherhood.
