Introduction to the Three Chapters
taken from
A Search in Secret India
Messrs. Rider & Co., of London brought out in 1934 a
remarkable book with the title
A Search in Secret India
. It has
passed through several impressions in a very short time and is
easily the latest bestseller on India. In view of its notable success,
the Editor of the
London Forum
invited the author Paul Brunton
to give an outline of the cause and motives which led up to his
pilgrimage to India. Mr. Brunton wrote a short interesting
autobiographical note which was published in the August
number of the
Forum
.
A Search in Secret India
lucidly narrates the author’s
acquaintance with, impressions of, and relation to the Maharshi
who has so influenced him. The book is at present too expensive
to the ordinary Indian reader and therefore the three chapters
— IX, XVI and XVII — relating to the Maharshi, are reprinted
in the form of a booklet with the kind permission of the author,
in order to place this most important part of the work within
the reach of the reader. Of course, these chapters shine better in
their original setting and are best read from
A Search in Secret
India
by those who can afford it.
The author had an instinctive attraction for India and it is
graphically described by himself: “The Geography master takes
a long, tapering pointer and moves over to the large, varnished
linen map which hangs before a half-bored class. He indicates a
triangular red patch which juts down to the Equator and then
makes a further attempt to stimulate the obviously lagging
interest of his pupils. He begins in a thin, drawling voice and
with the air of one about to make a hierophantic revelation,
‘India has been called the brightest jewel in the British Crown...... .’

At once a boy with moody brow, half wrapt in reverie, gives a
sudden start and draws his far-flung imagination back into the
stolid, brick-walled building which constitutes his school. The
sound of this word
India
falling on the tympanum of his ears, or
the sight of it caught up by the optic nerve of his eyes from a
printed page, carries thrilling and mysterious connotations of
the unknown. Some inexplicable current of thought brings it
repeatedly before him. Ever and anon he makes wild projects to
go there. He plans an expedition with a school-mate who is
discovered and the enterprise is reluctantly abandoned. The desire
to view India never leaves the promoter of that unfortunate
expedition.”
With the dawn of manhood, he turns to spiritualism, joins the
Theosophical Society and learns more of the East. His experiences
in spiritualism convince him of the survival of the spirit after the
death of the body. Then other interests and his own duties hold
him. He dropped his “mystic studies and concentrated upon
professional work in journalism and editing”. Some years pass “until
he meets unexpectedly with a man who gives a temporary but vivid
life to the old ambition. For the stranger’s face is dusky, his head is
turbaned and he comes from the sun-steeped land of Hindustan”.
He was tempted to go out and investigate the subject of
yoga
.
He arrived in India in 1930, and he later visited several remarkable
places but few remarkable men until some inscrutable, impelling
force, which he cannot understand, but which he blindly obeys,
hurries his pace so that sometimes he rushes onwards as though
he were a tourist. At last he is on the train to Madras.
In Madras, he accidentally met the “Anchorite of the Adyar
River” who took him later to the “Sage who never speaks”. In
the Sage’s hermitage, a stranger, Mr. Subramanya by name,
obtrudes on him and solicits his visit to his own Master Sri
Ramana Maharshi of Thiruvannamalai. The obtrusion of
