Comments on: Happy 137th birthday, Baird T Spalding http://www.bairdtspalding.org/2009/10/happy-137th-birthday-baird-t-spalding/ The life and teaching of an American mystic Mon, 02 Aug 2010 20:54:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: todd http://www.bairdtspalding.org/2009/10/happy-137th-birthday-baird-t-spalding/comment-page-1/#comment-114 todd Sat, 24 Oct 2009 20:17:36 +0000 http://www.bairdtspalding.org/?p=198#comment-114 Thanks for the comment CE. A number of people have mentioned that Vol 3 of Life and Teaching is very similar to Gherwal's book. There is an oblique reference to Spalding plagiarizing a "Hindu author" in David Bruton's biography of Spalding which is possibly a reference to this. See http://www.bairdtspalding.org/2009/06/welcome/comment-page-1/#comment-86 for an earlier discussion on Gherwal. If you've other examples, feel free to post them here. If anyone has a biography of Rishi Singh Gherwal, that would be very valuable. Gherwal may have had a family in the US, so it's possible his children or grandchildren could shed more light on the mystery. Thanks for the comment CE.

What's your take on this? Hi Todd,

Could it perhaps be that Spalding modified this book:

“Great Masters of the Himalayas: Their Lives and Teachings”
by Rishi Singh Gherwal

Some passages have striking resemblances.
What’s your take on this?
