From the Publisher (1954)
The original edition of this book was published in Russian in 1940 by the Latvian Roerich Society in Riga.
The publishers extend grateful acknowledgement to Mme. V. L. Dutko for her penetrative and sensitive work in rendering the first English translation. Without her devotion to this task the present publication would not have been possible.
Agni Yoga Society is honored to present the Letters of Helena Roerich as an integral part of The Teaching of Living Ethics.
The “Letters of Helena Roerich” are a two-volume collection of correspondence from the Russian philosopher and writer, Helena Roerich, offering spiritual and practical advice to her followers. Published posthumously in the mid-20th century, these books provide insight into her wisdom and teachings, which are part of the philosophy of Living Ethics (or Agni Yoga). The first volume covers her letters from 1929–1935, and the second covers 1935–1939.
Content: The letters contain spiritual and practical instructions given to friends, foes, and co-workers.
Context: They are considered an integral part of the Agni Yoga teachings, a philosophic system created by Roerich in cooperation with the “Teachers of the East”.
Publication: The letters were first published in English by the Agni Yoga Society, following their initial publication in Russian in 1940.
