Synopsis: Light: A Journal of Psychical, Occult, and Mystical Research, Oct. 19, 1912, p. 490: The work of a very lively imagination. An aged Fakir-more than a hundred years old (a few years more or less do not matter in these cases)-recognises in a young lieutenant of dragoons the tenth incarnation of Brahmo as Vishnu, and evidences his devotion by repeatedly saving the young man's life. Taken to the Fakir's home beneath the Indus, and initiated into many mysteries, the lieutenant sees, as in a panoramic vision, every event in his life and its workings with other lives. He sees the spirit of his unfaithful wife descend till incarnated as a pariah dog, while that of her seducer sinks even lower till it finally takes form as a poisonous fungus. The hero is, however, consoled by the pure affection of a beautiful Indian princess, who, when they meet, is conscious of having known him for a thousand years (more or less), but as they cannot be united in this world, she commits suttee that she may be able to come to him in her 'aspiral body' whenever he longs for her presence.
