Darbhagiri Nath
Also: • Bawaji • Babaji • S. Krishnamachari •
Member of the Theosophical Society, described as a chela among the signatories of the protest published in September 1882. Also known as Bawaji or Babaji; joined the Society's Bombay headquarters staff in the early 1880s and became a probationary chela of Master K.H. under the mystery name Dharbagiri Nath. Accompanied H. P. Blavatsky to Europe in February 1885, but turned against her at Elberfeld, Germany, in 1886, and eventually returned to India.
Some online sources attribute the signature "Murdhna Joti", under which "Seership" and "Living the Higher Life" appeared in The Path (vol. I, 1886), to this contributor (citing a 1961 note in Theosophy magazine). No primary source for that note has been located, and it is not reflected here. Boris de Zirkoff's own pseudonym index (Theosophical Society in America Archives, Historical Index "G" no. 5, as cited on Theosophy Wiki's "Judge writings" page) instead lists "Murdhna Joti" among the pseudonyms of W. Q. Judge; the Teopedia electronic edition of The Path follows Zirkoff and gives "Seership" as Judge's.
