Nirvana: An Occult Experience

This book is a description of Nirvana and Nirvanic consciousness as experienced by the author. "Each section is the pen impression of the Nirvanic landscape just as it impressed itself upon me at that time," writes Dr G.S.Arundale. Here is a remarkable passage: Bathed in the lightning-standing-still which is Nirvana, I perceive the imprisoned lightnings in things..... the Light which is bright - [in] the man evolved; the light which is glory - the superman, the Master. 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.
