RR Pod E15 P2 Mriganka Mukhopadhyay 'Voices From Within': An Indian Perspective on the Theosophical Society in 19th c. Calcutta

Rejected Religion Podcast - A podcast by Stephanie Shea

In Part 2, Mriganka discusses two important figures within the Indian Theosophical Society - Peary Chand Mittra and Mohini Chatterji - how they became 'on the radar' of Blavatsky and Olcott, their differing ideas and perspectives, and how escalating tensions led to a break between Mohini Chatterji and Blavatsky. Mriganka talks in particular about how Indian philosophies such as Advaita Vedanta influenced the Indian perspective and how Indian members approached Theosophy because of it.
