Allan Octavian Hume

(1829–1912)

A civil servant in British India, ornithologist and political reformer. He participated in the early Theosophical movement and received letters attributed to the Mahatmas. He later helped establish the Indian National Congress.
Met H. P. Blavatsky and H. S. Olcott during their stay with the Sinnetts at Allahabad in December 1879. In October 1880 he sent his first letter to the Teachers through Blavatsky and discussed an Anglo-Indian theosophical society with A. P. Sinnett.  (B. de Zirkoff, BCW 2:xxix,xxxiii-xxxiv)
Hosted H. P. Blavatsky at Rothnay Castle in Simla in 1881 and became president of the Anglo-Indian branch of the Theosophical Society established there.  (B. de Zirkoff, BCW 3:xxiii,xxv)

Translated extracts from É. Lévi’s Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie which H. P. Blavatsky annotated. A French translation of his first Fragment of Occult Truth occasioned the Paris controversy of 1883.  (B. de Zirkoff, BCW 4:133, BCW 4:226, BCW 4:262, BCW 4:479)
