Description

With forewords by Their Holinesses the 14th Dalai Lama and the 9th Panchen Lama, the enigmatic H. P. Blavatsky — who has inspired generations of truth-seekers from Albert Einstein to Marilyn Monroe, and is hailed as “the founding mother of the occult in America” (Kurt Vonnegut) and “the most remarkable woman of the modern world” (Manly P. Hall) — reveals illuminating fragments from The Book of the Golden Precepts, a sacred manuscript of untold antiquity kept in strict secrecy beyond the Himalayas.

So unsurpassable in luminous beauty and inspirational power that even Elvis Presley read them onstage, these fragments offer guidance for genuine inner growth and unveil the secret path to enlightenment followed by the greatest spiritual teachers of all time.

Inside this new, definitive 550-page edition of Blavatsky’s poetic masterpiece, you’ll find:

  • Extensive introduction that reveals the secret powers of your heart, lays out Blavatsky’s core teachings, outlines the challenges facing humanity today, and explains how you can help the world in these troubled times.
  • Four enlightening fragments from The Book of the Golden PreceptsThe Voice of the Silence, The Two Paths, The Seven Portals, and Light on the Path — serving as keys to awaken your divine consciousness and unlock authentic transformation.
  • Profound commentary by assistants of His Holiness the 9th Panchen Lama, as well as by Reverend Father Anthony Elenjimittam — the last disciple of Mahatma Gandhi and a friend of Pope John XXIII — facilitating deeper understanding of the fragments.
  • Insightful and thought-provoking material by Blavatsky and others to help you walk a spiritual path and answer the questions that may arise as you study the fragments.
  • Comprehensive glossary covering topics like ancient mysteries; the past, present, and future of humanity; the secret history of the solar system; global warming; Armageddon; the Last Judgement; the Second Coming; the afterlife; karma; and cosmic laws.
