Pandit Babu Adityaram Bhattacharya (first name also spelled "Aditya Ram") was an erudite Sanskrit Professor at the Muir Central College, in Allāhābād. He was Vice-President of the Theosophical Society between 1881-1888, along with thirteen others. He was also the founder of the weekly Indian Union, in 1885.
In Old Diary Leaves, Colonel Olcott wrote of the Founders' stay with in the Sinnett home late in 1880 when Madame Blavatsky was recovering from rheumatic fever:
During our brief stay with the Sinnetts a number of notable visitors called, and we enjoyed many hours of improving conversation with Prof. Adityaram Bhattacharya, the erudite Sanskritist, and others, upon Indian Philosophy.[1]
Olcott paid him a visit in 1898 in Benares, referring to Bhattacharya as an "old friend."[2]
When Annie Besant was staffing Central Hindu College in 1904, she gave the position of Vice-Principal to Professor Bhattacharya.[3]
