The Raja Yoga Messenger was the magazine of the Raja Yoga School at Point Loma, California — the model community known as Lomaland, built above San Diego by Katherine Tingley's Universal Brotherhood and Theosophical Society — and it was written largely by and for the community's children and young people. Most of its content is what a school magazine contains: verse and fairy tales, nature notes, reports of pageants and of the Greek theatre, whimsical essays and cheerful correspondence. Beneath that surface run the ordinary currents of Point Loma Theosophy, carried as the assumed background of a child's moral world rather than expounded: universal brotherhood, karma and rebirth, the memory of Helena Blavatsky, and a discipline of self-mastery pitched in terms a young reader could use. The Raja Yoga of the title is not the Hindu discipline of meditation but Tingley's own name for a system of balanced education meant to develop body, mind and character together, and the magazine is the fullest surviving record of how that education looked from the inside.
