William Eglinton (1857-1933) was a young English medium who went to India with the avowed purpose of investigating Theosophy. After a few years of acquaintance with Theosophy Mahatma K.H. visited him in his Māyāvi-Rūpa on board of a ship, and they had a long conversation.
Eglinton's encounter with Mahatma K. H.
Shortly after leaving Colombo, about 10 or 10:30 in the evening, I was in my cabin which was on deck forward, preparing to turn in for the night, when what I thought to be a Hindoo servant appeared at the door. Speaking in Hindustani, I told him to go away, but to my surprise he replied to me in perfect English, and stepping forward, gave me the grip of a Master Mason. This astounded me, and I asked his name, when he replied that he was one of the Himalayan Brothers and had come from Thibet to prove that such beings really existed. I entered into a long talk with him, much of which I cannot detail for obvious reasons. He was a well-formed, distinct, living, human being, and I knew of no such person on board. He gave me such evidence as satisfied me he must be the much-talked-of Koot Hoomi lal Singh, and that there was no longer room for doubt.[1]
