Summary: | This essay investigates the well-known, yet understudied, Bengali Theosophist Mohini Mohun Chatterji.

His case will be seen as an example of how Bengali Theosophists played a significant role in the transcultural, entangled history of the global Theosophical movement, thus connecting Vedantic philosophy with occultism. |
