Charlur, A. Sreenivasa +

This name credited to the publications in ''The Theosophist'', [[Theosophist/Vol5|vol. 5]] (1883–1884). +

Charnook Thomas +

A great alchemist of the sixteenth century; a surgeon who lived and practiced near Salisbury, studying the art in some neighbouring cloisters with a priest. It is said that he was initiated into the final secret of transmutation by the famous mystic William Bird, who “had been a prior of Bath and defrayed the expense of repairing the Abbey Church from the gold which he made by the red and white elixirs” (''Royal Mas. Cyc.''). Charnock wrote his ''Breviary of Philosophy ''in the year 1557 and the ''Enigma of Alchemy'', in 1574 [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Charon +

The Egyptian ''Khu‐en‐ua, ''the hawk‐headed Steersman of the boat conveying the Souls across the black waters that separate life from death. Charon, the Sun of Erebus and Nox, is a variant of Khu en‐ua. The dead were obliged to pay an ''obolus'', a small piece of money, o this grim ferryman of the Styx and Acheron; therefore the ancients always placed a coin under the tongue of the deceased. This custom has been preserved in our own times, for most of the lower classes in Russia place coppers in the coffin under the head of the dead for ''post mortem ''expenses [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Chary, S. T. K. +

Member of the Theosophical Society, described as a chela among the signatories of the protest published in September 1882. +

Charyaka +

There were two famous beings of this name. One a ''Rakshasa ''(demon) who disguised himself as a Brâhman and entered Hastinâ‐pura; whereupon the Brahmans discovered the imposture and reduced Châryâka to ashes with the fire of their eyes, — i.e., magnetically by means of what is called in Occultism the “black glance” or evil eye. The second was a terrible materialist and denier of all but matter, who if he could come back to life, would put to shame all the “Free thinkers” and “Agnostics” of the day. He lived before the Râmâyanic period, but his teachings and school have survived to this day, and he has even now followers, who are mostly to be found in Bengal [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +
