Sikhism and the Theosophical Movement
Early leaders of the Theosophical Society, including Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Henry Steel Olcott, and A. P. Sinnett, were well acquainted with Sikhs. Some practitioners of Sikhism may have been admitted as members of the TS, but their names are not known. However, Sikh Salig Ram became a subscriber of The Theosophist as early as 1882.[1] He was mentioned in Mahatma Letter No. 31,dated around November, 1881. Master Morya called Salig ram "a truly good man" with tendencies toward mediumship and "misdirected mysticism."
In 1926, a Sikh Fellow of the Theosophical Society, Hukm Chand Kumar published a book, Guru Nanak as an Occultist through the Blavatsky Press in Hyderabad. He had been vice principal of the Sindh National College that was associated with the Theosophical Educational Trust. He dedicated the volume to Dr. Annie Besant.
