Early Life
Arundale lost his mother at a young age, and was adopted by her aunt Francesca Arundale, a wealthy theosophist. Initially, he was privately tutored by Charles Webster Leadbeater. Later, he moved with Francesca Arundale to Germany, where he went to school. Returning eventually to England, he received a Master's degree from St John's College, Cambridge. His entire childhood was thus spent under the influence of his aunt, who was a committed and active theosophist. Under her influence, he also became one when he was a youth.
