Helena Blavatsky 
From the Caves and Jungles of the Hindostan 

‘From the Caves and Jungles of the Hindostan’ is a literary work by the founder of the Theosophical Society Helena Blavatsky. She published it under the pen name
Radda Bai in serial installments (letters) from 1879 to 1886 in Moscow in the periodicals 
Moskovskiya Vedomosti and 
Russkiy Vestnik.



Many incidents about Blavatsky´s second trip to India and Tibet were recorded in this book, where she describes in a literature style her travels with her Teacher, which she named Takhur Gulab-Singh. In spite of that the book was considered as novel, Blavatsky asserted that ‘
the facts and persons that I cited are true. I simply collected to time interval in three-four months the events and cases occurring during several years just like the part of the phenomena that the Teacher has shown.’
