The "standard" first edition limited to 903 copies (there was also a 97 copy "edition deluxe"). A collection of essays on Eastern Mysticism by Kenneth Grant, of the the Nu Isis Lodge of the Typhonian O.T.O. Written from the early 1950s onwards, the essays centre revolve around a number of teachers, including Ramana Maharshi, Pagal Haranath, Ramakrishna, Anandamayi Ma, Sivananda, and others. They were originally published in a various Asian journals, as well as the series Man, Myth and Magic.
