Judith Tyberg
Judith Tyberg (1902-1980) was an American yogi (“Jyotipriya”) and a renowned Sanskrit scholar and orientalist. Author of ''The Language of the Gods'' and two other reputed texts on Sanskrit, she was the founder and guiding spirit of the East-West Cultural Center in Los Angeles, California, a major pioneering door through which now-celebrated Indian yogis and spiritual teachers of many Eastern and mystical traditions were first introduced to America and the West.
== Early life as a theosophist at Point Loma ==
Judith Marjorie Tyberg was born on May 16, 1902 at Point Loma, the “California Utopia” which was the new world headquarters of the Theosophical Society. Katherine Tingley, world president, founded “Lomaland” in 1898 and Tyberg’s Danish theosophist parents, Marjorie and Olaf Tyberg, were among the first joiners. In 1900, Tingley founded the Raja Yoga School. Tyberg recalled how, as young children, they were instructed in the works of the world’s great religious and spiritual traditions and were inspired to seek “Truth, Justice, Wisdom ... more knowledge, more light”. Early on, Tyberg displayed a serious and philosophical nature and a vocation for education. Madame Tingley called her “one of my true raja yogis”. Tyberg grew up, studied, lived and taught at Point Loma until its closing in 1942, and it was in this context that she knew orientalist Walter Evans-Wentz and Paul Brunton.
She received all her educational degrees from the Theosophical University: a B.A. degree in Higher Mathematics and Languages (Latin, Greek, Hebrew, German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Danish and Swedish); an M.A. in Religion and Philosophy with a specialization in Oriental Thought; and a B.Th and M.Th in Sacred Scriptures and Ancient Civilizations, with a focus on the Bible and Kabbalah. Tyberg began her study of Sanskrit in 1930 with Gottfried de Purucker and received a Ph.D. in Sanskritic studies. She became a member of the American Oriental Society.
While still a teenager, Tyberg began her teaching career at the Raja Yoga School. She held the post of Assistant Principal of the Raja Yoga School from 1932 to 1935, became head of its Sanskrit and Oriental Division in 1940, and served as Dean of Studies as well as Trustee of the Theosophical University from 1935 to 1945. Starting in the late 1930s, she authored numerous articles on spirituality and consciousness for the ''The Theosophical Forum'' magazine, including ''The Sacred Texts of the Gupta-Vidya'', ''Possibilities of the Kali Yuga'', ''Hinduism & Buddhism'', ''Where are your haunts of Consciousness?'' In 1934, Tyberg joined the team set up by de Purucker to create an encyclopedia of spiritual vocabulary used in theosophy, drawing from Greek, Chinese, Kabbalist, Zoroastrian, Hindu, and Buddhist texts. Tyberg’s contribution was the exposition of over 2,000 terms.
