Atkinson was a multifaceted figure, blending roles as an attorney, merchant, and author with a deep interest in the occult and the New Thought movement. He created several pseudonymous identities, including Theron Q. Dumont and Yogi Ramacharaka, and even adopted two additional Indian personas, despite not writing on Hinduism. Over his last 30 years, he authored around 100 books, achieving lasting influence as evidenced by his presence in notable publications. His works have remained consistently in print since their initial release in 1900.
