''The Aryan Path'' was an Anglo-Indian theosophical journal published in Bombay, India from 1930. Its purpose was to form "a nucleus of universal brotherhood of humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or color; to study ancient and modern religions, philosophies, and sciences, and to demonstrate the importance of such study". The magazine's first editor was B. P. Wadia.〔Olav Hammer, Mikael Rothstein. Handbook of the Theosophical Current. Brill Publishing, 2013 ISBN 9004235965 (p. 83).〕〔 It was published on a bimonthly basis by a group called the Theosophy Company, which distributed copies of the magazine to London.〔"The April Reviews", ''The Spectator'' magazine. 9 April 1932 - (p. 530)〕 It was founded in January 1930. In its first edition, a writer named "Shravaka" emphasised that so much "original" writing is done today, so much "self-expression" is indulged in that, in the glamour that is raised, the chants of the Gods remain unheard. One of our tasks is to bring home the truth that it is not derogatory to respect the old age facts of the science of the soul.〔(Bomanji Pestonji Wadia (1881 - 1958) ) Biography of B.P. Wadia.
