Tallapragada Subba Row 
A Personal and an Impersonal God [EPUB ebook] 

Tallapragada Subba Row (July 6, 1856 — June 24, 1890) was a mystic and a Theosophist from a Hindu background.

In 1882, he invited Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and Henry Steel Olcott to Madras (now Chennai), where he convinced them to make Adyar the permanent headquarters for the Theosophical Society. Upon this meeting and thereafter, Subba Row became able to recite whatever passage was so requested of him from the
Bhagavad Gita,
Upanishads, and many other sacred texts of India. He had, apparently, never studied these things prior to the fateful meeting, and it is stated that when meeting Blavatsky and Damodar K. Mavalankar, all knowledge from his previous lives came flooding back.

Among the many memorable works he left to humanity, they include his commentaries on the
Bhagavad Gita,
Esoteric Writings, and his
Collected Writings in two volumes.

According to Tallapragada Subba Row «The idea of a God, Deity, Iswar, or an impersonal God involves the idea of Ego in some shape or other, and as every conceivable Ego or non-Ego is evolved from this primitive element the existence of an extra-cosmic god possessing such attributes prior to this condition is absolutely inconceivable».
