This fascinating volume contains four lectures delivered by Annie Besant at the twenty-fourth anniversary meeting of the Theosophical Society at Adyar, Madras, in 1899. This collection of essays will appeal to those with an interest in the lore of Hinduism, especially those interested in Avatâras, or ''avatars'', which are representations of Hindu deities in different forms. The chapters of this book include: ''What is an Avatâra'', ''The Source of and Need for Avatâras'', ''Some Special Avatâras'', and ''Shrî Krishna''. Annie Besant (1847 - 1933) was an influential British theosophist, activist, socialist, and writer who famously supported Irish and Indian self-rule. Many antiquarian books such as this are increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this vintage book now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a new prefatory biography of the author.
