The author of the book is theosophist, public figure, lecturer and writer Annie Besant, whose works are devoted to the spiritual development of man and humanity and the solution of the most important problem facing the theosophical movement in the late 19th – early 20th centuries.

In the book “The Path of Discipleship,” the author, from the standpoint of theosophy, tries to answer questions that are also relevant for modern people: how to reduce the cruelty and suffering existing in the world? Is it possible to create a harmonious society? How can an ordinary person with his merits and demerits become nobler, help those who need help, develop his hidden potentials, find a Teacher?
