			On [[April 9]], 1880, Mr. Tatya contacted [[Henry Steel Olcott\|Col. Olcott]] and presented an introductory letter from Mr. Martin Wood, editor of the ''Bombay Review''. He was formally admitted into the [[Theosophical Society]] the next month, on [[May 2]], and became a trustee of the organization.

	He established a '''Bombay Theosophical Publication Fund''' and published many books in Sanskrit, English, and Marathi, including the literary works of [[T. Subba Row]]. One example is the Fund's publication of "Lectures on the Study of the Bhagavad Gita," a series of Subba Row articles originally printed in [[The Theosophist (periodical)\|''The Theosophist'']].

	He passed away on [[June 2]], 1898. An obituary notice in ''The Theosophic Gleaner'' states that his death "was a great loss to the T.S., not in India only, but throughout the world. He was of great assistance to [[Helena Petrovna Blavatsky\|H.P.B.]] [Helena Petrovna Blavatsky] and Col. Olcott in Bombay, and has been one of the most active members in the T.S., a great philanthropist, and steadfast in loyalty to the Masters."<ref>''The Theosophic Gleaner'' quoted in "Book Reviews," ''Mercury'' 5.1 (September, 1898), 37.</ref>		He passed away on [[June 2]], 1898.

			== Precipitation of Mahatma Letter ==

			On June 5, 1886, Mr. Tatya wrote a cordial letter to Col. Olcott. After touching upon several subjects, he asked for news of [[Damodar K. Mavalankar\|Damodar]], who had gone to Tibet on [[February 23]], 1885 to join his Master. While the letter was passing through the post, [[Koot Hoomi\|Master K.H.]] added a note to it by [[Phenomenon\|phenomenal means]].

			The letter with its precipitated note is available as '''[[Mahatma Letter to H. S. Olcott - LMW 1 No. 29\|Letter 29]]''' in the First Series of [[Letters from the Masters of the Wisdom (book)\|''Letters from the Masters of the Wisdom'']]. Although Col. Olcott was actually the recipient of the message, it is evidence that the Mahatmas were interested in Mr. Tatya and found his inquiry worthy of response.
