Damodar K. Mavalankar

(1857–?)

An Indian Theosophist from Ahmedabad. He joined the Theosophical Society in 1879 and worked at its headquarters. He contributed articles to The Theosophist and corresponded with prominent members of the movement. His writings and letters were later collected by Sven Eek.
Joined the Theosophical Society in early August 1879. The account of the founding of The Theosophist gives 2 August, whereas the chronology dates the issue of membership papers to 3 August; these may describe different stages of admission.  (B. de Zirkoff, BCW 2:83-84, BCW 2:xxviii)
Appointed Joint Recording Secretary of the Theosophical Society on 17 February 1881.  (B. de Zirkoff, BCW 3:xxiii)
Recuperated for about a month in Poona in August 1882 as A. D. Ezekiel’s guest; accompanied the Founders on their move from Bombay to Adyar in December.  (B. de Zirkoff, BCW 4:xxv, BCW 4:xxvii)
Accompanied H. S. Olcott on his North Indian tour in October–November 1883. B. de Zirkoff’s chronology records his departure from the house at Jammu on 25 November and return on 27 November; Olcott associated the absence with a visit to his Teacher’s ashram.  (B. de Zirkoff, BCW 5:xxvi-xxviii)

According to B. de Zirkoff’s chronology, left Adyar for Tibet on 23 February 1885 and Darjeeling on 13 April; the last entry in his diary is dated 23 April.  (B. de Zirkoff, BCW 6:xli-xlii)
