'From the Caves and Jungles of Hindostan' offers an intrigueing travelogue through nineteenth century India revealing a culture whose uncanny developments in the metaphysics of mind in the material world are today shedding light upon far reaching intuitions. The way Blavatsky reveals India without the fogs of mysticism but through an insightful first-person narritive makes this an exellent introduction and captivating look into the exotic world of Hindustan. It's truly adventuresome and fascinating. For anyone looking into the anthropology of ancient and modern India this book will prove insightful, or for those looking to escape into an exciting travelogue. Blavatsky and her traveling companions are both intellectual and charming. I've had this book for a number of years and I continuously comeback to it for its wonderful wealth of thought and adventure.

Read this more for its artistic value than its historical accuracy...it is a delight for any true follower of HPB's life and times and invaluable look at India from a traveler's point of view.

In this wonderful book Blavatsky takes readers on a trip to India through the great schools of the esoteric Indianan methods of the occult. We go straight to the source led by a master into the most powerful and obscure experiential knowledge of the metaphysical. The revelations and their implications are truly amazing.
What I love the most about this book is how comprehensive and practical it is. It covers so much ground. It contains a lot of specialized knowledge that boosts your spiritual development many levels higher, and the methods are very clearly explained.

I strongly recommend this book. My increased study of the metaphysical and the occult has led me to discover that the best knowledge tends to be found in the older books like this one. This is an extremely important work, and I cannot stress this enough. It's truly a rare and special masterpiece.

The author unlocks the great mysteries and lays it all out for us in this book, which I found it to be most empowering. You just won't find knowledge like this anywhere else. Blavatsky takes you straight to the top and shows you the ways of the great masters. I can't recommend this book enough. I firmly believe it to be indispensible.

This is a most compelling work. I loved the author's account. I thought it was beautiful, intriguing, and inspiring. What she describes are the most powerful metaphysical techniques I have ever read about, and the results of putting these into practice are highly beneficial.

Readers can benefit immensely from this book. It's absolutely jam-packed with information. There is always something new to learn, and I'm grateful whenever I find a new gem like this one. It explains so much and shows you how to keep on the right track.

I've found this book to be incredibly helpful and empowering. I really loved it. It covers a lot of territory in the realm of the esoteric arts, including information on the most obscure and secretive ones... even the unheard of ones. I learned so much from it. It's highly advance but written in a way that even a beginner can understand.

This is a wonderful work that I intend to recommend to all my friends. I firmly believe I was led to this book, which is an amazing and rare find. It will take you on the most incredible and empowering journey into a secret word that we still have much to learn about. This book will show you the way.

I have just been to India and found some of the cultural aspect hard to fathom. This book explains it all and is a fantastic journey. Very enlightening and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to visit or learn more about rural India. I wish I had a map so that I could follow their journey.
