Paperback. Condizione: New. Language: English. About The Book: The book delves into the subject of occult science in India and among ancient civilizations, with a focus on mystic initiations and the history of spiritism. It presents research conducted during the author's long stay in India, exploring the practices of those initiated into the sect of the Pitris, which refers to ancestral spirits. The book neither advocates nor opposes beliefs in spirits but offers a historical account. It covers phenomena produced by Fakirs, both magnetic and spiritual, and describes them impartially, leaving room for interpretation. The book also highlights the universality of these doctrines across various ancient cultures, including Egypt, Judaism, Finland, Alexandria, Gaul, and early Christianity. About The Author: Louis Jacolliot (1837-1890) was a French barrister, colonial judge, author, and lecturer who spent time in Tahiti and India during 1865-1869. He wrote "Occult Science in India" in the 1860s, where he explored the Indian roots of Western occultism, referencing a questionable Sanskrit text he created. He also authored "The Bible in India," comparing the lives of Krishna and Jesus. Jacolliot's claims were controversial and led to defamation lawsuits. He collected Sanskrit myths and proposed ideas like a sunken land named "Rutas" in the Pacific Ocean, influencing theories related to lost continents. He translated the Manu Smriti and select verses of the Tirukkural.
