Sri Rama Michael Tamm

Sri Rama Michael Tamm (born Mihkel Tamm; 9 February 1911 – 22 November 2002), also known as Sri Rāma Michael Tamm and Ramatamananda, was an Estonian philosopher and mystic. Tamm sought to re-unite all religions, not in institutional forms, but in terms of unifying mystical experiences. For this purpose, he developed the so-called Theory-Hypothesis-Null philosophy (THN), which sought a comprehensive synthesis of Eastern and Western philosophy. In the 1940s, Tamm traveled to Europe and studied nuclear physics in Germany. In 1956, he planned to walk through the Soviet Union to India. In Estonia, the Soviet authorities took his UN passport and did not let him out of Estonia as a stateless person. After 25 years of forced exile, he was allowed to leave the Soviet Union in 1981.
