Drawn from the author's talks with students, Golden Precepts covers a variety of subjects: the inner god; thoughts, their influence on character, and how they can be controlled; how to meet suffering, old age, and death; the need for selfless love; buddhas of compassion; and the path of spiritual growth.
G. de Purucker was born on January 15, 1874, at Suffern, New York, son of an Anglican minister. In preparation for the ministry he specialized in Hebrew, Latin, Greek, and the writings of the early Church Fathers. However, study of Eastern philosophies and Sanskrit led him to theosophy with its broad comprehension of religion, philosophy, and science. After working closely with Katherine Tingley, he succeeded her as head of The Theosophical Society from 1929 until his death on September 27, 1942. Perhaps his greatest contribution to spiritual thought was his elucidation of the writings of H. P. Blavatsky.
