She had ruled by his side almost as an equal and died in 1631 giving birth to their fourteenth child. Shah Jahan spared no effort in making the monument “as beautiful as she was beautiful.” It is the symbol of the Mother principle and celebrates his eternal love for Mumtaz.

In his final embodiment, the adept Kuthumi (known also as Koot Hoomi and K.H.) led a secluded life, affording but a fragmented record of his words and works.

In his final embodiment, the adept Kuthumi was revered as a Kashmiri brahman, Koot Hoomi Lal Singh (also known also as Koot Hoomi and K.H.) Koot Hoomi led an extremely secluded life, affording but a fragmented record of his words and works. Born in the early nineteenth century, Mahatma Kuthumi was a Punjabi whose family had settled in Kashmir. He attended Oxford University in 1850 and is believed to have contributed “The Dream of Ravan” to ''The Dublin University Magazine'' around 1854, prior to returning to his homeland.  


The Kashmiri Brahman spent considerable time in Dresden, Würzberg, Nürnberg and at the university of Leipzig, where in 1875 he visited with Dr. Gustav Fechner, the founder of modern psychology. His remaining years were spent in seclusion at his lamasery in Shigatse, Tibet, where his contact with the outside world included didactic writings sent by mail to some of his devoted students. These letters are now on file with the British Museum.

With [[El Morya]], known as the Master M., Kuthumi founded the Theosophical Society in 1875 through [[Helena P. Blavatsky]]. The Theosophical Society has published Kuthumi’s and El Morya’s letters to their students in ''The Mahatma Letters'' and other works. Kuthumi ascended at the end of the nineteenth century.
With [[El Morya]], known as the Master M., Kuthumi founded the Theosophical Society in 1875 through [[Helena P. Blavatsky]], commissioning her to write ''Isis Unveiled'' and ''The Secret Doctrine''. The purpose of this activity was to reacquaint mankind with the wisdom of the ages that underlies all of the world’s religions, the inner teachings guarded in the mystery schools since the last days of Lemuria and Atlantis. This includes the doctrine of reincarnation—which, we note, Saint Francis preached in the village squares—as well as an understanding of the ascension as the goal of life sought knowingly or unknowingly by every son and daughter of God.
