Julian Johnson

:"For the seventeenth century writer nicknamed "Julian" Johnson, see Samuel Johnson (pamphleteer). Julian P. Johnson ( -1939) was an American surgeon and author of several books on Eastern spirituality. He spent much of the 1930s in India, is most closely associated with the Radha Soami movement and Surat Shabd Yoga, and wrote four volumes as a result of his experiences.

The writings of Paul Twitchell, the founder of Eckankar, show many close similarities to Johnson's, and Twitchell has in fact been accused of extensively plagiarising from Johnson's work, particularly Johnson's "Paths of the Masters".
