Koot Hoomi
Koot Hoomi (also spelled Kuthumi) is one of the Mahatmas that inspired the founding of the Theosophical Society. Also known as Koot Hoomi Lal Sing, he engaged in a correspondence with two English Theosophists living in India, A. P. Sinnett and A. O. Hume, which was published in the book The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett.
The Vishnu Purana, Book 3, Chapter 6, mentions a Rishi called Kuthumi, pupil of Paushyinji.
In a letter received by Mr. Sinnett in July 5, 1881, Master K.H. wrote:
I may answer you, what I said to G. Th. Fechner one day, when he wanted to know the Hindu view on what he had written — "You are right;... ‘every diamond, every crystal, every plant and star has its own individual soul, besides man and animal...’ and, ‘there is a hierarchy of souls from the lowest forms of matter up to the World Soul,’ but you are mistaken when adding to the above the assurance that ‘the spirits of the departed hold direct psychic communication with Souls that are still connected with a human body’ — for, they do not."[1]
