India and the Occult: The Influence of South Asian Spirituality on Modern Western Occultism, 2014
This is the opening chapter of my book "India and the Occult," where I introduce the main subjects treated in the study and argue, inter alia, "family resemblance" between South Asian and Western esotericism and suggest that Western occultists were much more influential in promoting interest in Yoga and Tantra than is generally acknowledged.
This paper underlines the importance of the Theosophical Society in Indian socio-spiritual space and looks into its necessary social, political and cultural interactions.

The first volume of this series has equipped us with the methodological tools for examining the occult and paranormal. The second has shown us that these themes have been present since the earliest times. This third volume of the Religion, the Occult, and the Paranormal provides examples of some of the rich diversity of ideas, practices and groups engaged in various ways with these supernatural considerations. Occult practices and ideas around the paranormal are found within each of the major world religions, often in connection with the more mythical aspects of those traditions. Bibliomancy, or divination using books, thrives within many forms of Christianity, Islamic theology is resplendent with jinns that can intervene in everyday life, and no process is more mysterious than the divinatory practices that foretell the next Dalai Lama in the “Yellow Hat” school of Tibetan Buddhism. Some of the chapters presented herein will explore just some of those crevices in South Asian religions
