'''Bhâshyachârya, Pandit N'''. Outstanding Sanskrit and Oriental scholar of the early days of the Theosophical Movement. He was born at Sriperumbadur, Chingleput District, near Madras, India, in April, 1835, and died at Madras, Dec. 22, 1889. On his father’s side, he came from a long line of Visishtâdwaita philosophers and teachers, and was related to Sri Râmânujâchârya. His Brâh- manical thread ceremony was performed in his seventh year by his own father. He studied the Yajur-Veda, rhetoric and general literature under various scholars, completing his studies in modern Sanskrit literature in his 14th year. He married in his twentieth year, and in his 24th left Madras for Conjeeveram to study Vedânta under a famous ascetic. He was soon employed by the Board of Examiners in the Civil Service to teach young civilians, and while in this capacity learned Hindi, Telugu, Canarese, Marathi, Bengali and Persian, as well as some Arabic—Tamil being his mother tongue. His acquaintance with Sir Walter Elliot and others laid foundations for his Oriental research, and spurred him to a thorough study of English. In 1863, he was for a while assistant to the Sub-Collector of the Cuddapah District. Returning to Madras, 1869, he became acquainted with J. Pickford, Prof, of Sanskrit in the Presidency College, who was largely responsible for his study of the Vedas. In 1870, he joined the Bar in the District Court of Cuddapah, practising law until 1887, when diabetes made it impossible to continue. After some misconceptions concerning the aims of the Theosophical Society, he joined it in November, 1886, during a visit of Col. Olcott to Cuddapah, for the purpose of organizing a Branch at the Pandit’s own suggestion. In 1887, he {{Page aside|407}}settled at Adyar and became engaged in the preparation of his Visishtddwaita Catechism, the first English work on that philosophy. It was in 1886 that the Pandit went, at the request of Col. Olcott, on a tour of inspection of various Native Libraries, bringing back with him a large number of valuable MSS. He donated his own library to the Oriental Department of the Adyar Library, and wrote and lectured extensively on behalf of the Movement. (Vide for further details, The Theosophist, Vol. XI, Suppl., February, 1890, pp. xcv-xcix.)
Pandit Bhashyacharya was acknowledged as one of the most learned Sanskritists in India; a great linguist; an orator equally at home in four languages; a man of courageous disposition, an enlightened reformer, and an ardent Theosophist who gave up a lucrative profession to devote himself gratuitously to the work of the Theosophical Society.
On the subject of his writings, special mention should be made of his two scholarly essays contributed to the pages of The Theosophist: “The Age of Patanjali” (Vol. X, September, 1889, pp. 724-740; with additional notes on the Yavanas, in Vol. XI, January, 1890, pp. 218-223), and “The Age of Sri Sankaracharya” (Vol. XI, November, 1889, pp. 98-107; January and February, 1890, pp. 182-185, and 263-272 resp.). He also translated Light on the Path into Sanskrit.
Although he never met H. P. Blavatsky, the Pandit had a very high regard for her knowledge and integrity, and remained unaffected by the various attacks against her. It is stated by those who knew him that he had conceived the idea of interpreting with the help of H. P. B. the ancient Indian writings in the light of esoteric truths, and greatly regretted her absence from Adyar. An early death made it impossible for him to carry out this plan.

'''Busembaum, Hermann'''. Moral theologian, b. at Notteln, Westphalia, 1600; d. at Münster, Jan. 31, 1668. Entered the Soc. of Jesus in his 19th year. Taught the classics, philosophy and moral and dogmatic theology in various houses of the order. Rector of the colleges of Hildesheim and Münster. “His prudence, keenness of intellect, firmness of will, large-heartedness, and tact combined to form a rare character. These natural gifts were heightened by a singular innocence of life and constant communion with God.” (Cath. Encycl.) Became confessor and adviser of Christoph Bernhard von Galen, Prince-Bishop of Münster. His principal theological work, Medulla theologiae moralis facili ac perspicud methodo resolvens casus conscientiae ex variis probatisque auctoribus concinnata, appeared either in 1645 or 1650, and soon became a classic, going through forty editions in the life-time of the author. It was printed in all the great centres of the Catholic world, and was used for over two centuries as a textbook in numberless seminaries. Claudius Lacroix wrote a Commentary on this work. According to the Cath. Encycl., the Medulla “proclaimed its author to be a man gifted in a superlative degree with the moral instinct and the powers of a great teacher.” Busembaum, however, was attacked and accused of teaching a doctrine subversive of authority and of the security of kings. In defending him and his teachings, the Cath. Encycl. endeavours to “give full assurance of Busembaum’s orthodoxy and authority,” and declares the morality taught in his work to be identical with that of the Church.
