The present work, in four volumes, represents all "theosophical" articles from the pen of Charles Johnston that have been located to date. These are drawn largely from Theosophical periodical magazines between the years of 1886 and 1932. The articles have been arranged by subject matter, and the volumes organized to reflect certain overarching themes. Volume I begins with a series of articles on some of the earliest traces of human wisdom available in our day. Following this is a series exploring four main centres of wisdom teachings in the ancient world-Egypt, Chaldea, India and China. The largest portion of this volume contains Johnston's many articles on the wisdom of ancient India, including sections exploring his unique approach to the antiquity of Indian thought, the origins of the caste system and the origins of the central tenets of India's spiritual traditions. The volume closes with an exploration of the Vedanta teachings of Sankaracharya and a set of five essays on eastern wisdom that were originally published in pamphlet or book form during Johnston's life.
Charles Johnston (1867-1931), was steeped in the wisdom of eastern traditions, having translated the ten Principle (Mukhya) Upanishads of the Vedanta, the Bhagavad Gita, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Crest-Jewel of Wisdom and other works of Sankaracharya, the Tao Teh King of Lao Tze, along with a running translation/commentary on a series of Buddhist suttas. He also wrote at length on the religious traditions of both east and west, focusing largely on the Vedanta of India and the Christian texts of the New Testament. These writings have been collated posthumously under the title "Hidden Wisdom: Collected Writings of Charles Johnston," a four volume set of over 2500 pages! In addition to this is a further 1600 pages in his five principle works (see below). His writings are not only impressive in quantity, but also in quality. He elucidates the worlds spiritual philosophies, from east to west, as one united whole, demonstrating the oneness of their core tenets and the high value of their essential teachings.
