from Crystalinks Website Djwal Khul (also spelled 'Djwhal Khul', 'Djwal kul' etc.), in Theosophy, is a Tibetan Master of the ancient esoteric religion.
He is a member of the 'Brotherhood' of Mahatmas, who are the spiritual guides of mankind and the guardians of ancient cosmological and metaphysical teachings. These esoteric teachings form the origin of all the world's great philosophies, mythologies and spiritual traditions.
As a Mahatma, Djwal Khul is working mentally for the furthering of spiritual evolution on our planet, using his highly developed powers of meditation, or siddhis. At the same time, he leads an outwardly normal life among ordinary human beings.
Members of the esoteric Brotherhood were said to be the hidden
founders of the Theosophical Society in 1875.
This
Master, she said, was the one responsible for the revelation of
esoteric truth in our time. The origins of his name are uncertain. Although khul is a Tibetan word meaning 'region, jurisdiction etc.', the name does not seem to be of that language. 'Djwal' may perhaps represent the Sanskrit jwala-, meaning 'light, flame or illumination', while 'khul' might be a rendering of the word kula- 'group, family or community'.
Treated as a Hindi name, the final a's of both words would be silent; thus jwal kul. These are, however, mere speculations.
SUMMARY OF THE TIBETAN'S
WORK from

Later, she changed her mind when I explained to her that telepathic
rapport was a proven thing and a matter of scientific interest, that she
was neither clairaudient or clairvoyant and never would be and that (above
all) the test of truth was the truth itself. I told her that if she would
write for a period of a month, the material transcribed would prove to her
whether it contained truth, whether it evoked intuitive understanding and
recognition and whether it had in it that which might be of value in the
new spiritual era which was impending. She, therefore, overcame her
disgust of this type of work and of the many occult presentations of truth
which were prevalent; she only stipulated that the writing should go out
with no claims whatsoever and that the teachings should stand or fall on
their own merits.
This
was the result of her first effort to do this kind of work; it laid the
foundation of all the succeeding books. Since then she has written for me
for nearly twenty-five years. The books have gone out in line with a deep,
underlying purpose which it may interest you to know about and they have
received a worldwide recognition.
The Masters whom they portrayed were characterized by an impossible infallibility, because the Masters are themselves evolving; the teaching given endorsed an engrossing interest in self-development and an intense focusing upon personal unfoldment and liberation; the people who were indicated as initiates and senior disciples were entirely mediocre with no influence outside the Theosophical Society itself; complete devotion to the Masters was also emphasized - devotion to their personalities.
These Masters were also shown as interfering with the organization life of the various occult groups which claimed to be working under their direction. They were made responsible for the mistakes of the leaders of the groups who took refuge under such statements as: The Master has instructed me to say, etc., the Master wants the following work to be done, or the Master wants the membership to do thus and so. Those who obeyed were regarded as good members; those who refused to be interested and obedient were looked upon as renegades. The freedom of the individual was constantly infringed and the weaknesses and ambitions of the leaders were provided with an alibi.
Knowing all this well, A. A. B. refused to be a party to any such constantly recurring activity, for such is the history of practically all the known occult groups which attract the attention of the public.
Even had I wanted to work in such a way (which no one affiliated with the Hierarchy ever does), I would have found no collaboration from her.
