Pandit Pran Nath of Gwalior was the president of the Satya Marga Theosophical Society of Lucknow in 1884. He received a Mahatma Letter from Master K.H. in answer to a series of questions he sent to the Mahatma. The letter is published in Letters from the Masters of the Wisdom, Vol. 1, number 6.
H. S. Olcott refers to "the intellectual brilliancy shown by Pandit Pran Nath, F.T.S., in summarising my lectures at the above two places, in Urdu, with an eloquence and unhesitating fluency that were both admirable and remarkable".[1]
Healing
Pandit Pran Nath learned from the Maulvi Zahur-ul-Hassan of Jodhpur a technique of healing by using the sign of the pentagram and effected several cures. In December 1880 he published an article about one of his cures in The Theosophist, vol. 2, p. 58, entitled "Scorpion-bite". Part of this report is reproduced by H. S. Olcott in his Old Diary Leaves:
He [the patient] had been bitten by a scorpion in the great toe. The pain gradually increasing and rising up in his body he had bandaged tightly his whole leg to try and check it. When brought before me he could not stand upon the leg. I bade him open the bandages, but, as he hesitated, I myself opened them with my own hand and drew the figure described several times. After waiting a moment I asked him where the pain was now. He said it had descended to the knee; then I further unbound the bandage as far as the calf, drew the same figure as before and again asked him where the pain was. His reply was that now it extended no higher than the ankle. I then drew the figure on the foot, whereupon the pain was brought to the very point of the toe where he had been bitten, and, finding that it had become a mere trifle which he could easily bear, he declared himself cured and walked away after expressing his gratitude.[2]
