Lobsang Rampa

Lobsang Rampa was the pen name of Cyril Henry Hoskin (8 April 1910 – 25 January 1981), an English author who wrote books with paranormal and occult themes. His best known work is ''The Third Eye'', published in Britain in 1956.

Following the publication of the book, newspapers reported that Rampa had been born Cyril Henry Hoskin, and was a surgical fitter, the son of a plumber from Plympton in Devon, who claimed that his body hosted the spirit of a Tibetan lama going by the name of Tuesday Lobsang Rampa, who is purported to have authored the books. The name Tuesday relates to a claim in ''The Third Eye'' that Tibetans are named after the day of the week on which they were born.

''T. Lobsang Rampa And Other Characters of Questionable Faith'' (2025), by R. B. Russell, is the first full-length biography of Rampa. Provided by Wikipedia
