About the author

William Walker Atkinson (1862–1932) was a prolific writer, attorney, merchant, and an influential figure in the early 20th century's New Thought movement. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Atkinson pursued a legal career before turning towards the divergent field of occult and esoteric writings. Under various pseudonyms, including Yogi Ramacharaka, he authored numerous books that explored spirituality, the power of the mind, and the philosophies of the East. His works as Yogi Ramacharaka, such as the 'YOGY RAMACHARAKA - Complete Collection', delved into yoga, Eastern thought, and mysticism, contributing to the Western world's understanding of these subjects. Atkinson's writings on yoga and the Hindu philosophy, at a time when they were relatively unknown in the West, helped in the dissemination of these ideas. Beyond his contributions under the Ramacharaka guise, Atkinson was also known for his writings on mental science, the law of attraction, psychic phenomena, and personal success. His literary style is characterized by clarity and an instructional approach, aimed at enlightening his readers and providing them with the tools to harness the power of their own minds. Atkinson's impact can be seen in the works of later New Thought writers and practitioners. He is remembered for his ability to synthesize Eastern spiritual teachings with Western esoteric traditions, making complex concepts accessible to a broader audience.
