A biography of N.Sri Ram, fifth President of the Theosophical Society, is bound to inspire its readers. The special qualities he brought to the leadership of the Society amounted to a genuine spirit of humility and selfless service, which subtly but steadily permeated and coloured the very fabric of its membership. Innately gentle, softly spoken and patient, 'his unique endeavour was to highlight the nature of Theosophy as a transformative Wisdom and not only as an explanation of the unfolding processes in the human being, in Nature and in the universe'. Each of its Presidents is in a pivotal position regarding the life of the Theosophical Society, which works towards the upliftment of humanity through the regeneration of human consciousness. As shown by his many talks and writings, Sri Ram understood the profound nature of this ongoing work , towards which he dedicated his life unreservedly. This book is an imprint of the Theosophical Publishing House, Adyar, and is imported from India.
