Dr Tuesday Lobsang Rampa (8 April 1910 – 25 January 1981)

A friend first introduced me to Lobsang Rampa over a cup of coffee some 35 years ago, when the book was placed on the table in front of me and I was asked if I had read any of his books. I had never heard of him at that time, and my friend left the book for me to read. I picked the book up and glanced at it, then unfortunately it got placed on my bookshelf and there it stayed for several years.

Out of the blue one day I just picked up this book “You Forever” and read it, I was so intrigued by this authors writings, it was so interesting I could not put the book down, and I felt after reading it I just had to know more, I went to the local bookstore and ordered every book this author had written to date. There were several books that the store could not obtain, but every book that I did manage to buy I read with total conviction more than once. Over the years one lends out books, looses them, etc and some 15 years ago, I decided to buy these books again. Only several had been reprinted and were available from USA so I ordered them. More recently I obtained the rest of my collection from Ebay from all over the world. The writings are just as fascinating today and make excellent reading.

I do keep an open mind on his books, but then again I do believe in fate, and feel sure I was meant to read his books, and learn from them. Over the years he has had many critics and was hounded by the press, but then I think we all know how the media can make or break an individual.

Lobsang Rampa was unique, a remarkable writer, one of the most fascinating and intriguing individuals with physic abilities and should you require something completely different to read, something strangely out of the ordinary, that can be truly enlightening and depending on your beliefs about life can add another perception to the mysteries of the universe. After reading about his experiences and his explanations we can all draw our own interpretation and conclusions from what he had to say.

One further publication, which I should mention, an anthology which Lobsang Rampa wrote was published without authorisation in late 1958/early 1959 – My Visit to Venus, and a soft cover copy was printed and circulated in 1988 after his death. Rampa did not want this published, fearing it would be dismissed as science fiction.

Another unauthorised book 'My Visit to Agharta' (2003) Rampa talks about his visit to the Inner world of Agharta.
