An Editorial Note:
A few months before
his death, Mr. Dallas TenBroeck
(1922-2006) sent CD
copies of his theosophical files to some
theosophists around
the world. The following text reproduces
from these files his
biographical notes on Mr. B. P. Wadia. We
do not include here
the “Bibliography of Books and Articles by
B.P. Wadia”, which
was the last Addendum at the end of the
text. We made small
editorial adjustments in order to make the
reading easier in
the case of abbreviations and similar instances.

Bahman Pestonji Wadia was born
on October 8th 1881, the eldest son of Pestonji Cursetji Wadia and his wife
Mithabai. The Wadia family was originally from Siganpore, near Surat, some 230
miles north of Bombay. They were famed
as shipbuilders. The frigate TRINCOMALEE,
renamed “FOUDROYANT” which they built, is still preserved in Portsmouth harbor.
The British government, in part payment and recognition of their services,
deeded large tracts of coastal lands north of Juhu on Salsette Island immediately
north of Bombay, to the Wadia family.
