n his Preface to this great study in symbolic yoga, Dr. G. S. Arundale says that it consists of notes taken at the time of his own personal exploration in the field of symbology, 'explorations which were fortunate enough to have the guidance of One whose discoveries in innumerable fields have constituted Him a Master of the Wisdom of Life. But even this guidance gives the notes no special authority, for both the guidance and the explorations are individual to myself.' This book is an imprint of the Theosophical Publishing House, Adyar, and is imported from India.
About the author: George Arundale was international President of the Theosophical Society from 1934 until his death in 1945. He presided over the affairs of the Society during the difficult years of World War II when many European branches were forced to close their doors due to the spread of fascism and Nazism. A great admirer of Annie Besant, he worked closely with her in her many educational efforts while she served as President of the TS. Mr. Arundale was also the principal of the Central Hindu college, Varanasi, India, and later of the National University of India.
