The Vedantin (India, sampled from a 1912 issue) is an early-20th-century Vedanta journal devoted to Hindu scriptural philosophy and the reform of Hindu religious life. Its staple is close commentary on the Bhagavad Gita — the three gunas, Arjuna's counsel to rise beyond duality, sattvic virtue, and jnana as the knowledge that liberates — alongside calls to organize 'for the prosperity of the Hindus' against orthodoxy's excommunications. A real Theosophical current runs through it (Blavatsky, karma, universal brotherhood), reflecting the Theosophy-inflected Indian spiritual press of the day, but the paper is Vedantic philosophy first; its apparent New Thought and spiritualist notes are simply yogic vocabulary — concentration, self-control, and the trance of samadhi.
