The cure for "toxic masculinity" is the Vedas

I remember as a child having an apprehension which is not all that uncommon in this day and age and that was the fear of becoming an adult.  It was not that I feared responsibility but that I saw adults as evil, I can't quite explain it, it was not 100% rational, but there was just something about them that was not good.  I think most children these days can sense something duplicitous and corrupt about adults, they almost seem to taunt the children that one day they will lose their innocence and goodness and become cunning and ugly like them. While there is this sense among too many children today, the worst is perhaps reserved for the relationship between father and son, men and boys. 

Before I became Hindu I soaked myself in the milieu known as "Aryanism", this is based upon the intuition of pagan men as to how our once supposed Aryan ancestors lived, believed and acted.  While this reconstruction is far from holistic, there is of course something to this atavistic regeneration.  One of the complaints found among white pagans wishing to return to a more Aryan past is the mutated concept of masculinity under which we now live.  The Christian world is absolutely rife with hypocrisy when it comes to the concept of the perfect man.  The perfect man whom all Christian men should strive to be is Jesus, but hardly can you find a man anywhere in the West who would even think of going out of his way to be like Christ.  Jesus was an effete philosopher who knew no self-defense, was more or less passive, and allowed himself to be tortured and humiliated without a fight. While Christian men should strive to be like Jesus, they always escape this duty by relying upon the idea that men are imperfect and Jesus came to die for their sins anyway.  Boys who do emulate Jesus are usually viewed as silly homosexuals who have no other place in society than to be priests and teachers to tell the soft and inapplicable fairy tales of Christ, at least as far as it goes to tutoring men. 

But Christian man does have a tutor on how to be a man from the Bible and that is the Old Testament.  The Old Testament man was barbaric and narrow, he laid claim to the lands of more advanced pagans and invaded them like hoards.  They destroyed everything that was delicate and beautiful, tearing up the pagan's sacred tree groves, destroying their temples of advanced architecture, burning their books of nuanced philosophy, and more than this they were instructed to kill every man, woman, child and animal... just stupid savage blood lust. The most beautiful and delicate of the pagan women were transformed into wretched and destroyed sex slaves as their heads were shaved to humiliate them and they were given a year to give up their idolatry or be killed.  The Christians of Europe repeated this barbarism as they wiped out the more exquisite ideas and peoples of Greece and Egypt.  Hypatia is the most famous story of these, a young brilliant female mathematician and pagan philosopher who had been tolerant and cooperative with Christians yet who was stripped naked and bashed to death by Christian mobs nonetheless.

The Bible tells its adherents to avoid "highfalutin" philosophies and anything graceful is viewed with disdain and mocked. Nietzsche lamented that the Christian conquest of Greece had destroyed all that was delicate and replaced it with coarseness, and this is what the Judeo-Christian man aims to be, coarse.  As a boy I had no respect for men, they were brutish, stupid, ignorant and cruel.  I remember a neighbor boy of mine who was perfectly normal as far as the masculinity of young boys goes, yet his father would constantly threaten him that he was going to military school; now the father did not make this sound like a good thing but with extreme sadism would constantly torture his son that this place would be an experience of extreme breaking and horror. It is often expected in Judeo-Christian culture that young boys will not want to make the passage into manhood and must be forced in a boorish fashion, this is because young boys are kind and sensitive and are disgusted by the belligerent and oblivious creature they are expected to become.

The Aryan pagan is usually marked by his hatred for the Rambo style of modern Judeo-Christian informed military culture, its over simplification, its blockhead socialization, and its disdain for wit in favor of relying upon more brute force as to preserve the machismo identity of the soldiers.  Pagans usually romanticize the armies of such as Alexander the Great or the Roman soldiers, ornate and lustful armor design, a strong diversification of specialized weaponry, ostentatious religious and ritual displays and the overt incorporation of poets and wise men into the military structure. Pagan soldiers are often depicted as being more decorative with their hair and beards, having intellectual pursuits outside of warfare and being much more open in showing affection for each other. Now while I must say this vision of masculinity would be much more appealing to me, I also have to admit that this is likely the reason why the Christians were able to subdue these pagans and today view them as weak, their refined masculinity was simultaneously too cumbersome and too dainty. While I find modern day imitations of Greek and Roman ware attractive, there is something decadent about it which conveys vulnerability. 

I have to say until I converted to Hinduism I really never found a masculinity that attracted me, something I wanted to be, something to join, something to aspire to.  Now it is true I am an effeminate homosexual and so it is not likely I would ever join the more masculine men in their adventures, but that does not mean I could not wish to be one of them, though I never had this feeling before reading the Vedas.  The warriors of the Vedas are starkly different from the warriors of the Bible or the Quran, they are much happier, jovial, jocular and kidding. The Maruts or soldier of Indra are painted as bands of beautiful young men who shine with luster and whom are not afraid to enjoy one another's beauty. My favorite god, the god of sex and war Kama Deva, he is not afraid tonuse what would seem like an atom bomb to utterly destroy his enemies immediately, he does not need to prove his masculinity by digging trenches and putting himself in the way of hellfire. The wind and warrior god Vayu is said to be exceedingly handsome and delicate and he announces his arrival with shimmering garbs which rustle and make noise like the wind to accentuate is delicate good looks. 

The Vedas often use the word "manly" to describe the Vedic warriors but they also describe exactly what they mean by this.  While the Vedas do describe the many stereotypical manly feats of the Arya such as slaying and over powering the enemies, they also illustrate the more elegant side of their manly nature.  Unlike the military of today whose young men must be crushed and brainwashed to obey, the manly warriors of the Vedas are said to be praised by their sons and are surrounded by many adoring youthful consorts. They are said to be wise and majestic and while they are soldiers they are pure enough to offer up sacred rites. The painting of the beauty of the Arya is usually reserved to their bodies and their auras, however there are passages which do speak of their golden chains and animal skin coverings. They are said to be liberal in giving out alcoholic meed.  Leaders among the Arya are well skilled in adoration of the gods and advance the welfare of the people by listening to them rather than commanding, and this draws the people to ponder his holy statue instead of following under threat. Not only are warriors said to be manly but sages can be manly too, and the generals are not so stupid as to be unable to see the use of even musicians (Gandharvas) and nymphs (Apsaras) in destroying the enemy as these are viewed as sneaking and clever. Poems are likened to the arrows of a manly archer.  Finally, kings are said to be clothed in grace, shining in their own luster and endowed with every form of quality, including the delicate wisdom to find immortality, an intricate pursuit usually not befitting a manly man of today. 

As the great World-halves, so are their Son's praises; skilled, as a man, to act, is he the Herald. Vaisvanara, celestial, truly mighty, most manly One, hath many a youthful consort. - Rig Veda 1.59.4

BRING for the manly host, wise and majestical, O Nodhas, for the Maruts bring thou a pure gift. I deck my songs as one deft-handed, wise in mind prepares the water that hath power in solemn rites 0 Rig Veda 1.64.1

Held in your manly arms are many goodly things, gold chains are on your chests, and glistering ornaments, Deer-skins are on their shoulders, on their fellies knives: they spread their glory out as birds spread out their wings. - Rig Veda 1.166.10

Bring us the wealth that men require, a manly master of a house, Free-handed with the liberal meed. - Rig Veda 6.53.2

These have passed all in glory, who, the manly, have wrought with skill the hymn of adoration; Who, listening, have advanced the people's welfare, and set their thoughts on this my holy statute - Rig Veda 7.7.6

Wealthy in heroes and in cars and horses, strength hundredfold and thousandfold, O Indra, With manly sages, happy troops, Iight-winning: vouchsafe us mighty and resplentdent riches. - Rig Veda 10.47.5

The Gandharvas and Apsaras, the serpents and the gods, holy men and (deceased) Fathers, the visible and invisible (beings), do I impel, that they shall slay yonder army! - Atharva Veda 8.8.15

 Bring hither, O chanter, thy poem, that which earns cattle and earns good things! Among the gods (kings) place thy voice as a manly archer his arrow! - Atharva Veda 20.1.27.6

Prayer at the Consecration of a King As he did step hither all (men) did attend him. Clothed in grace, he moves, shining by his own lustre. This is the great name of the manly Asura; endowed with every form (quality) he entered upon immortal (deeds). - Atharva Veda 4.8.4

The men of the West today often resent the term "toxic masculinity" as they view this as an attack on all masculinity by Marxist informed false feminism.  The Puranas state that in the time of the Kali Yuga, the time of ignorance, women will become rebellious against men, however it is also stated that this happens only because men become wicked, evil and unrighteous. The fall of masculinity can be seen in the later epics where the once proud and noble warrior and king god Indra has become a drunken stupid fool who spends his time trying and failing to prevent humans from following the path of Dharma as in his insecurity he fears they will compete with him. Judeo-Christian men, while defensive against claims of toxic masculinity, are certainly aware of their own inadequacy in terms of true masculinity.  Some believe the best way to correct this is to resurrect the chivalry of the knights of the Middle Ages, but not long could this last as that culture was the product of pre-Christian paganism and the Judeo-Christian ethos has already proven it is simply not able to hold such an ideal.  I think if these men were introduced to the masculinity of the Vedas they would find something much more organic, refreshing and sustainable than what has currently been put before them.  They would also find that other less masculine men, women, and children would be much more accepting, respectful and grateful for Vedic masculinity and the man would not have to live his life trying to subdue his sons, his daughters, and his wives. 

India needs to milk Trump on Pakistan before Tulsi

Is the world ready for a real Pakistan-India war?  On February 14th the Pakistani terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) killed forty or more Indian Central Reserve Police Office in a suicide bomb attack when they crashed into their envoy.  India and the United States have admitted for decades that the Pakistani government hides, funds and trains such terrorist groups. For the first time since anyone can remember, India under the direction of Modi seems to be taking hard words and hard positions on Pakistan, rather than the usual soft kiddie gloves approach which has frustrated so many Hindu Nationalists their entire lives.  Even when Pakistan launched a preemptive strike on Indian air bases in 1971 the Indian government under Indira Gandhi showed almost sickening restraint in their retaliation and even stupidly released more than 90,000 Pakistani soldiers it had captures as prisoners of war. India has still not learned how to treat her enemies. 

But the world is changing, both Modi and Trump could not have been elected if it were not for the new and young nationalist crowds who supported them, young men and women who are paying the price for the cowardice and inaction of their parents' generation, we want to live in peace and we know how to get it. But the under 30 crowd is still not in power and are held captive by the corrupted and confused older generation who still steer the reigns. However, was this terror attack the last straw?  Has India finally reached the point of doing what she knows she needs to do, meaning is she ready to totally destroy Pakistan's ability to reign terror on her again?  She certainly has the ability to do this, if India decided to it could have ended the regime of terror decades ago, the only thing which has given Pakistan the hubris to keep going has been India's predictable weakness. 

Now I hate the general culture of modern Hindus to blame absolutely every single social frailty they have on colonialism and the British, however in this case we must admit that the Western powers have indeed purposely gone out of their way to stack the deck against India.  It was the British who facilitated the two state theory as they prepared to give India over to sovereign rule, England nor anyone in the Western world wanted to see a strong and independent India, they wanted her to remain a battered and dependent slave, and so they helped create two Islamic states on her borders which would insure India remained in constant wealth and social draining conflict. Until Trump, the Western powers always spoke of the "India-Pakistan conflict", as if this was a disagreement between two equally moral partners based on nothing more than petty cultural differences and that the West was to sit back and try to diffuse this conflict between their little brothers and sisters with their air of self-patronizing maturity.  Never ever would it be stressed that this was a war between a secular democracy which had seen leaders of all faiths rule the nation (India), verse an Islamic theocracy where persecution of non-Muslims was state law and only a Muslim could rule the nation, not to mention being the admitted breeding ground for state sponsored terrorism. The West, including the USA, obviously did not want India to rise above the fray.

But something changed with the election of Donald Trump, some of Trump's first presidential Tweets were directed right at Pakistan and Trump's administration very quickly withheld millions of dollars in aid to Pakistan which until then had been taken for absolute granted no matter how many times Pakistan betrayed and endangered America.  But what happened, was it because Trump was actually a new kind of leader, someone who was not beholden to the establishment and would actually do the right thing not only by India but his own country and the world?  At first, yes, probably yes; Trump did seem to start out as his own man who wanted to snatch the world out of the clutches of the globalists and deliver it back into the hands of the people, and this was very likely why he took this righteous course of action against Pakistan early.  But there was another reason for his immediate voice against Pakistan and that is because he had already admitted that the Hindus of America and India had played an enormous role in his electoral success.  

"Hindus For Trump" took the American and Indian media by storm in 2016 as many found it hard to understand as to where this highly visible and effervescent campaign was coming from.  It did not take long for the world to understand that so many in the Hindu community around the world were supporting Trump because they were the until then invisible but also obvious allies of the secular West against Islamism.  Hindus were likely Trump's first and most pronounced non-White and non-Christian cheerleaders, thus confusing the Left's narrative of Trump being supported by nothing but redneck White racists. The Hindus also highlighted that there was a non-White secular power who had the same problems with Islam, and since they had the Islamic States of Pakistan and Bangladesh on their borders, they had stories to tell about the horrors and aggressions of these regimes which backed up what Trump and his supporters were asserting. 

The Hindus not only softened perceptions of Trump's as a man who wanted to return America back toward a megalithic White Christian majority but also highly financed and staffed his campaign. Not only this, Hindus were extensively courted by the Trump administration in Florida and Virginia which are swing states with sizable Hindu populations, it was in these states where Trump's son Eric and his wife visited Hindu temples in highly publicized spectacles. So important became the Hindu vote that on the eve of the election Trump himself attended an event billed specifically for Hindus in a state he could never win, New Jersey, the proceeds from the event went to support Hindu victims of Islamic terrorism in Bangladesh.  As election date approached, pro-Trump Hindu organization began running Trump approved ads which rose up emotions by replaying Pakistani terror attacks on Indian soil and highly suggesting that Trump himself was openly anti-Pakistan. Trump and his people know that without the Hindus, it is possible he would have never won the election.

But Trump's credibility as an independent man who has come to buck the establishment and the New World Order has all but come to an end in America.  Within a few month of his election almost all of his aids who had been so loyal to him throughout his campaign were dumped and replaced by their former enemy establishment hacks.  Trump had made the younger electorate believe he was over with regime change wars in the Middle East and he would not make Assad and Syria a target of the United States, but within only a few weeks he completely about-faced on this perception and bombed Assad's regime for supposed "chemical weapons attacks", and likely the only reason he did not finish the job was because it would have too soon provoked Russia. 

And that's another thing, Russia; on the campaign trail you would have though Trump was Putin's best friends, indeed it was more than plausibly stated by both the alt-Left and the alt-Right that the Russians were secretly rooting for Trump. We all believed Trump was going to end the new fake cold war being stoked by the neo-cons and the neo-libs, that he would bring a sane alliance between Russia the USA that would be anti-war.  But like he did with Syria, Trump has all of a sudden done a u-turn on Putin, stating this month that the USA would not be honoring the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces treaty of 1987 which forbids either Russia or the USA from placing short-range missiles near one another's borders; Trump's reasons for doing this are because it is supposedly rumored that Russia has not been upholding the agreement the whole time, just like it was rumored there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.  All of a sudden Trump is interested in the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela; notice the USA is always selective about which humanitarian crisis it gets involved in… Venezuela and Cuba are Russian’s colonies in the West, this is all a theater to advance war with Moscow. Trump's daily rhetoric and actions are calling for a new cold war between the USA, Russia, China and Iran, the warm mongers are back in control and Trump is their boy. 

But why is Trump not being directed to take the usual lead on Pakistan-India?  Why is Trump and the establishment being so buddy buddy with India?  Trump has shown his support for India and has given them the green light to take “strong action” against Pakistan on the Pulwama attacks. India and Pakistan have never been central focus to the West's agenda for global dominance, while they want India as a subservient slave state, India's part to play in global politics has always been viewed as insignificant.  The West's interest in the Middle East boils down to wars between the Abrahamic religions, Jews, Christians and Muslims posturing for ultimate power and direction of human destiny; India and the Hindus have never been seen as being related to this.  Trump and his new found establishment cheerleaders can more than afford to expose their hand to their own people, they have done it for decades and have gotten away with it. There are enough stupid Trump supporters who are satisfied with cheers of "Build the Wall", who can be bought with the temporary spurt in the economy Trump has brought, and who can gloat with the defeat of ISIS which only happened because ISIS is no longer useful. The youthful alt-Right which tipped the scales for Trump can be abandoned, they are young, powerless, and no one is betting on their futures, by the time Trump is done the USA will likely be a mixed corporate-communist state and the oligarchs will rule supreme, they just need a few more years of cover and Trump is giving it to them. 

But why has Trump kept good on his promise to the Hindus, and why is the establishment letting him do this?  If Trump did not cheerlead for India as much as they did for him this would over expose his and the establishment's true intentions and rob them of assets they know they still need in order to win in 2020.  The cat is out of the bag, everyone knows India is the good girl and Pakistan is the bad girl, the 2016 elections made the contrast so extreme that no politician can afford to be soft on Pakistan against India. But more important, they can't afford to tip off and anger the Hindu vote and Indian support.  The neo-con/neo-lib wars have exhausted the people financially and morally, they have milked their cows dry and must now turn to greener pastures. Hindus are now the most educated and wealthy religious group in America, and unlike White America they are not so jaded as to yet be resolved and apathetic about politics. Just as Hindus can be said to have made Trump in 2016, they can also become his downfall in 2020.

I have written on this blog before about why Hindutva must have a conspiracy to elect Tulsi Gabbard (here) and why the alt-Right former supporters of Trump are jumping ship for Gabbard in numbers (here).  Tulsi Gabbard is the obvious favorite among the young alt-Left who backed Bernie Sanders and a growing number of the alt-Right who used to support Trump because she is the most vehemently anti-war, anti-interventionist, anti-regime change, anti-cold war candidate on either side, and this is what the youth want. The traditional Left media and Trump fear Tulsi as they know she and only she has the ability to garner full spectrum support for her candidacy, sweeping up the non-establishment left and right along with anti-war Muslims.  However, she has always been favored by the Hindutva crowd, not because she is a Hindu but because she has always shown strong support for Modi and India, defending both of them from attacks by Christian groups seeking to malign India as an intolerant and dangerous state; Tulsi makes no maneuvers to hide her affection for the BJP.  And while Tulsi describes herself as a "dove on war" she says she is a "hawk on terror", she criticized Obama for not using the words "radical Islamic terrorism"; and so even before Trump Hindutva looked upon Tulsi with great interest. 

Trump and the establishment see that Hindus and India have become more than critical to Trump's re-election, and even the established left would rather see Trump than Gabbard at the helm.  While Trump can afford to dump the alt-Right and anyone else who helped him get in, he cannot afford to lose the Hindus and India, especially for their money and social support.  Many Hindus in the United States, especially the most politically astute ones, have made it their business to make it a Tulsi vs Trump 2020 election so that no matter who wins we have our person in the White House.  Trump is aware of this and now he and his administration will have to go out of their way to ingratiate India in order to keep this constituency loyal to him.  I pray that by the end of the election all Hindus will see that despite Trump's bending over backwards to please them that it is Tulsi who is in their best interests, it is no good for India to allow the West to hurl the entire world into a new cold war and once Trump and the establishment have what they will need they will dump and strangle India as they always have. I hope for the sake of us all the pro-Trump Hindu crowd votes Tulsi on November 8th, but not before they have milked Trump for all he has.  Right now India is invulnerable, Trump has shown his full support for India taking strong action, take this now and keep going while you still can, destroy Pakistan before the 2020 elections, we need to take care of this business while the opportunity is ripe. India must set herself up to rise free of Pakistan, because if he does win, Trump will eventually turn on India as he has all others and this opportunity will not happen again. 

When the godless become greater than the Hindu gods

I am an admitted Vedic supremacist, the Vedas are the highest authority on earth and all other teachings are inferior because the they lead humans to inferior power and truth, the Vedas are infallible because they admit they are fallible, they want us to find the true path to become gods. However there has always been something in the Vedas which has disturbed me and has made me feel queasy inside and that is the constant call for the murder of sorcerers and the "godless". Now the injunctions against the "godless" always confused me as the Vedas are very clear that the gods did not create the universe and are not the ultimate power, they were made out of the unknowable substance of the universe, Brahman, which is sort of like the Greek chaos. Since we don't know what the Brahman is, not even the gods know, it could be unaware, it could just be math, indeed the creator of the universe could be nothing and so Atheism is philosophically acceptable; what did they mean "godless"? As for sorcery I have always resonated with sorcery, especially sorceresses; one of the reasons I hate the Bible is because it calls for the murder of all sorcerers and holds sorcery as one the greatest sins.  I could not help but feel for the sorcerers and the Vedas and deep down inside, as I had known with the Bible, I knew I was one of them. Now I have never been one to abandon a religion I think is true just because it does not line up with my personality.  If I believed Christianity were true and good I would never leave just because I am a homosexual, I would have admitted my weakness and remained faithful.

Now I will get to godlessness in a while but I came to wonder what exactly the Vedas considered sorcery as the Bible defines sorcery very well.  As the New Testament of the Bible was written in Greek this brings us back to the Greek word that was used for sorcery, "pharmakia" or drug use.  The Bible's definition for sorcery can best be described as using drugs to foresee the future and to find ways to bend the universe to your will. The Israelites defined the use of drugs by the oracles and witches of Greece as sorcery.  This tickled my mind because by this definition the Vedic priests who used the stimulating drug Soma to perform their rituals would be sorcerers. Obviously the definition for sorcery in the Bible and the Vedas had to be different, I wanted to know the Veda's exact definition for sorcery. This brought me back to ancient Greece as the Christian scriptures were first written in Greek and so it was obviously firstly appealed to the Greek speaking population, but did this definition of drug use as sorcery exactly relate to the Greek pagan concept of sorcery?  I wanted to know what the Greeks considered sorcery as I believed this would be more related to the Veda's definition.

Witchcraft had an odd role to play in ancient Greek culture, Hecate was the goddess of witchcraft who was perhaps most associated with herbs and poisonous plants which her followers would sometimes combine and consume to alter their minds. The majority of Hecate's followers were women; romantic images depict them as beautiful wholesome young maids circling around a toxin smoking vessel and engaging in ritual in perpetual solitude, though perhaps more realistic though Christian inspired are the images of the old witch who has grown old and alone, helplessly addicted to the psychoactive smoke which she breaths.  While this practice of "witchcraft" was often frowned upon and ostracized, it was not completely illegal and it was common for all men and women to seek the advice of a witch while she was intoxicated. But the witches use of drugs could not be the definition of what made her a witch because others engaged in this process.

The witch of course was always distinguished from the oracle who also took part in drug use to prophecy but whose practice was officially incorporate into the state religion.  It is generally believed that an educated young man or woman would be seated over a chasm in the earth which was known to release a psychoactive gas, like the witch the oracle used his/her altered state along with his or her knowledge to provide information to the highest kings and most influential people of the land. Oracles also dedicated their lives to gods, but gods of prophecy like Apollo, and not gods of herbs and tinctures, implying they knew little of the nature of the gas drug  they were inhaling but had been educated more in the natural truths known the humankind.  While the oracle held a much higher position than the witch it was admitted that her service to the gods shortened her life. Both witches and oracles used drugs to obtain seemingly supernatural powers, so this could not be the distinguishing factor for the Greeks. 

But we know that not all sorceresses involved themselves in smoke nor destroyed themselves through constant drug induced prophecy. Medea was not only a high priestess of Hecate but also the daughter of a Greek king. Like her counterparts Medea was known to be a mistress of tinctures and poisons and she used these to not only kill her father to protect and flee with her lover Jason but to also eventually murder their children in revenge for Jason leaving her for another woman, her continuing power illustrated as she escapes from the city in a chariot pulled by dragons.  Another sorceress known for her knowledge of herbs and poisons was Circle who was said to be a daughter of Hecate. While, like Medea, she could be more than helpful if she wanted to be, she could also be cruel by turning men into animals and enslaving them on her island. Circle's complicated status as a sorceress is detailed in a myth where she is invited to the court of King Picus, however, upon rejecting her advances she turns him into a woodpecker. Sorceresses are obviously a perplexing combination of good and evil, useful but dangerous. However, unlike in Judeo-Christianity they are not banned or commanded to be murdered. Did the Greeks have any true definition for what they would consider absolutely unacceptable "black magic", was there any class of people among them they would fear and hate so much they would hunt them down and kill them, and could this be related back to the Vedas?

Before we bring this into the Vedas and Hinduism, there is a peculiar set of events which take place in Greco-Roman history surrounding the philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras. Pythagoras is today known for his mathematical genius and his discovery of several mathematical formulas, but what seems to be not taught to the general public is that mathematics encompassed only a small part of Pythagoras' life.  Born in Greece, form a young age Pythagoras was considered to be not only an extreme genius but a very kind and sociable person, in the early part of his life he was described as being very well liked and respected.  Not only was Pythagoras a mathematical prodigy he also had an intense interest in religion and the occult. After exhausting the knowledge of his Greek city state he began to travel all around the Mediterranean and perhaps as far as India to absorb their knowledge of math but perhaps even more so their esoteric doctrines.  It is believed that Pythagoras spent the greatest time and studied the deepest the now extinct Orphic religion of Egypt. Orphism actually contains many elements related to modern Hinduism, it was believed that humans were perfect immortal souls but were doomed for a period of time to reincarnate until they had perfected their being through a life series of rituals.  Orphism does believe in the gods as their religion did speak of their origins, however the Orphic religion focused much more on the rituals necessary to obtain immortality so that one could join the gods and less on the worship of them. Orphism was most noted for its secrecy, the rituals needed in order to escape reincarnation and obtain an immortal place among the gods were very carefully hidden.  It is important to know that while Orphism was regarded with suspicion as all mystery religions are, it did not generally provoke violence from the tolerant pagan Greeks, in fact many of its teaching were believed to have come from Greece.

After completing his world tour Pythagoras returned to Greece where he began to set up communities based upon the religious, esoteric and scientific information he had gained from many of the known world's capitals. Pythagoras eventually founded his own religion which today is known as Pythagoreanism. Like the Orphic religion, Pythagoreanism was based in extreme secrecy. While Pythagoras made public his mathematical discoveries, he claimed to have esoteric and irrational knowledge pertaining to the nature of the universe and the formula for obtaining immortality, this included a seemingly incoherent understanding of the nature of numbers and music.  As a youth, like Pythagoras, I was exceedingly interested in the occult but my focus was on numerology which is non-scientific and mystic understanding of numbers. Now we cannot know for sure as Pythagoreanism was exclusively covert and what you will soon see was also driven underground and eventually all but extinguished, but the numerology I learned was supposedly the teachings of Pythagoras.  Now I do have a strong reason to believe the school of numerology I studied did have some accuracy because is it believed that Hinduism had a strong cultural effect on ancient Egypt and the Orphic religion, but it is also possible that Pythagoras did indeed go to India to study.  The connection was made when I converted to Hinduism and eventually came across Hindu numerology,  I only needed to glance over it to realize I had no need to study it, the Hindu system of numerology and the numerology I learned of Pythagoras were almost identical. But there was one interesting difference, Pythagorean numerology had not gods and Hindu numerology did.

Pythagoras made his students go through extensive periods of ritual cleansing such as what some say was even years of absolute silence before he would teach them anything, and he forbade anything to be written down, it is known that like the Orphic religion that Pythagoras taught secretly the origins of the gods and the ritual methods by which one could obtain an eternal life as a god. While his religion was secret and thus could be subject to mistrust, this was not unknown to and was even accepted by the Greeks who had their own versions of mystery religions. As the Orphic religion contained many elements from Greece, it also spoke of Greek gods.  Pythagoras further Hellenized his own religion by focusing his god studies upon Pithain Apollo who was the oracle and prophetic deity version of the god who resided over Greece's most famous and respected Oracle of Delphi. Now Pythagoras had always been viewed as a magnanimous and generous person, he was welcomed everywhere he went.  Pythagoras began to build communities based upon his teaching, some believe that these communities operated on a system of semi-communism.  However the Pythagorean system was not imperialistic or intrusive and the Pythagoreans came to be known as responsible and peaceful people who were exceedingly socially advanced. Pythagoras' communities are said to have had an almost other worldly height of organization an prosperity, the peaceful  nature of their lives was marked by vegetarianism, so profound was their nearly exclusive hold over this diet that for many centuries the vegetarian diet was referred to as the Pythagorean diet. They were said to be "masters of drugs".

However something began to happen which no historian or philosopher had ever been able to explain to me.  Seemingly from nowhere, and for absolutely no reason, the Greek people began violently attacking Pythagoras and his community. Pythagoras and his followers were expelled from the first community they create by the Greeks, and when they set up their community once again in another area of Greece they were once again what seems to have been unreasonable attacked and driven out.  This persecution continued until Pythagoras and his community had to flee to Italy in order to escape pogroms, however this persecution continued and the Pythagoreans were hunted throughout Italy.  The end of Pythagoras and his followers comes in many versions but they are all indicative of the insane hatred both the usually tolerant pagan Greeks and Romans had for this sect; in some versions they were all trapped in a building which was burned down, in another version they took refuge in a temple to escape the mobs where they starved to death after 40 days, some say that Pythagoras witnessed all of his students murdered and than killed himself, other say that he was hunted down by crowds and killed. Whatever the truth is it's obvious that there was some sort of almost mythical hate for the Pythagoreans. After his death the remnants of his students were driven underground and his teaching were banned in many city states.  Today it is believed there is no complete understanding of what Pythagoras taught as his religion was a secret, and though there eventually did spring up schools of neo-Pythagoreanism, these probably did not contain all of the original elements.

So what happened?  Why can't historians and philosophers seem to provide a theory on this seemingly  unexplainable chapter in hstory? There is a phenomena which has always existed in the world and which all people must admit, and that is often times valid theories about life, nature and history are not explained first by learned and logical scholars but are first introduced into society by secretive sects of occultists who rely upon irrational means to produce their theories. While these theories are probably not always 100% sound, they often give the more scholarly classes of society a direction to go in which they eventually find more hard evidence which backs up these interpretations which cannot be explained as anything else but oracular. While I have never ever seen it published or explained anywhere, I myself have heard tale of why the pagans hated Pythagoras, but not from pagans, this comes from the deepest recesses of the most fanatically purist esoteric schools of Christianity.

Before I present the theory as it was explained to me, lets go back to the founding of  Pythagoreanism which had its origins in the Orphic religion which likely had its origins in Hinduism.  As I already stated, the Orphic religion did speak of the gods, however it more so proclaimed to understand their origins.  Their is an interested myth about the death of the Orphic religion's founder Orpheus who was a mystic poet; according to one theory, which would be hard to believe arose out of the Orphic religion itself but was more probably promulgated by the Greeks, Orpheus was killed by Zeus himself for lying about the origins of the gods. The ancient Greek religion took the same position on the gods as the Vedas do, that the gods did not create the universe but came out of the universe by some means which no one knows, not even the gods, and it is usually believed that no one can know. Also relevant is the fact that the rituals of Hinduism and the rest of the pagan world were not necessarily hidden with paranoid secrecy as these were only part of the mechanism which would lead one to godhood, the stress was not solely on ritual purity but a devotion to and an understanding of the gods, which was admittedly an inferior knowledge to the entire universe itself, but it was proclaimed to be the highest form of knowledge one could obtain; it was god knowledge or nothing.

Now the theory of the abstruse Christians on the cause of the Pythagorean holocaust is this, the ultimate teaching of Pythagoras was that one did not need to go through the gods to obtain immortality as even the gods did not know the full reality of the universe. According to this theory, Pythagoras himself had learned from the Orphic religion but then expanded upon it extensively himself that certain seemingly preposterous and nonsensical logic and ritual action would some how be transmuted within the practitioner via some incomprehensible method into a scientific and mathematical understanding of the universe which explained its nature above and beyond what the gods could.  All one need to do is follow these what seem to be crazy advises, rituals and ideas to understand the true scientifically numeric configuration of the world, these will become know to you and you will obtain ultimate power over yourself and the universe, thus becoming not a god but something above the gods. The idea is that Pythagoras had tapped into a line of consciousness which revealed to him knowledge which was above the knowledge which even the highest devotees of the mystery religions of Greece did not possess. The god Zeus murdered the poet Orpheus because he had gone above the gods to get his knowledge and it was obviously superior to what the gods could provide, and so they became fearful and jealous and destroyed him. The greatest sin among the Greeks and their gods was "godless magic", magic that came from a source other than the gods, and this was reason to wipe them out, murder and ban them.

We should look at a few things we might be able to glean from those sects of Pythagoreanism which rose once again in Europe some time after Pythagora's death but which were seemingly less frightening and offensive to the Europeans and probably because it did not show the same level of physical power that . Now it is known that besides being an occultist Pythagoras was indeed a profound mathematician, however it is not believe that technical mathematics was the basis of his religion, far from it, and while Pythagoras did introduce many mathematical theories to the world, he was not at least directly logically responsible for the mathematical discoveries of his later students. It is believed that hundreds of years later after Pythagoras' death, after the rise of neo-Pythagoreanism which likely did have some underworld connection to Pythagoras' teaching, there came about a very strange but telling life, one Hippasus of  Metapontum, Greece. Next to absolutely nothing is known about Hippasus' life or his beliefs, however he is attributed to discovering irrational numbers, and while this is not an absolute fact, no other person in history has been awarded this merit. Now one could at least assume that if Pythagoras himself believed he could gain mathematical knowledge through absurdity, and he was an extremely accomplished man in the physical world, that if there is any credibility to this historical claim than maybe perhaps Pythagoras had something going for him and Hippasus who had found some of Pythagoras' knowledge was able to use it to come up with a previously unfathomable mathematical truth of the cosmos.  More interesting than this however is it is said that upon hearing Hippasus' theories his fellow neo-Pythagoreans drowned him for his heresy; no less interesting is the alternate theory that not only did Hippasus discover irrational numbers but also knew the util that time unknown construct of a dodecahedron inside a sphere and that he revealed this information to the uninitiated. This brings us back to the genocides against the Pythagoreans in ancient Greece. The obvious conclusion is that the state oracle religions which relied upon their mysticism for guidance recognized that Pythagoras had indeed reached a higher level than any of the former Pagans before him, and these could not be understood by the mystery cults currently in power, Pythagoras was a threat not only to their power, but also the power of their gods. So with this temple priests conspired with the state elites in secret to whip up paid mobs against the Pythagoreans and this is how Pythagoras, his religion and most of his followers died.

But was this the definition of "sorcery" in the Vedas, "godless magic"?  If they had found him would the Vedic heros have hunted down and murdered Pythagoras too?  I love Pythagoras, I love that he led humans to the highest state of truth and power, and I have come to hate the ancient pagan Greeks and the Greek gods for their weakness and ugliness.  I knew that if the religion of the Vedas would have condemned Pythagoras to death that I would not be able to cope with this and not only would I have to leave Hinduism but become its vicious enemy.  You can imagine how my heart sunk while upon researching the Vedas I eventually found that there was indeed a connection between sorcery and godlessness, the sorcerers are condemned for practicing "godless magic" for going above the gods to gain their powers. If this were the last and final testament in the Vedas, if the Hindu gods were so weak and jealous that they could not bear to see humans who had found ways to obtain power above them and not through them, and would have them hunted down, it was the end, I could not stay, I would become a godless sorcerer myself and an enemy of the Vedas.

Let these men, heroes in the fight with foemen, prevail against all godless arts of magic,- These who ipprove the noble song I sing thee. - Rig Veda 7.1.10 

 I will declare the earliest deeds of Indra, and recent acts which Maghavan hath accomplished. When he had conquered godless wiles and magic, Soma became his own entire possession. - Rig Veda 7.98.5 

The Vrtra-slaver with his bolt felled Vrtra: the magic of the godless, waxen mighty, Here hast thou, Bold Assailant, boldly conquered. Yea, then thine arms, O Maghavan, were potent.- Rig Veda 10.111.6 

With great radiance Agni shineth;
All things doth he reveal by his might;
He overcometh godless and malign enchantments
He sharpeneth his horns to pierce the Raksas.
s Let the roarings of Agni rise to the heaven,
Sharp weapons to slay the Raksas;
In the carouse his radiance bursteth forth
The godless assailers cannot restrain him. - Yajur Veda 1.2.14.r

But there is a saying from the Vedas, "neither this nor that", the only reason I have ever been able to stay in Hinduism is because every time I come across ideas I do not like, even if they seem to be overwhelmingly pervasive, there is absolutely always a contradiction somewhere which saves the religion for me. There is a prayer in the Rig Veda where an Arya asks the god Agni to come down to his sacrifice.  The man tells Agni that he has become a god because he has learned the art of immortality from the godless. He explains that even though he has been a worshiper of the gods for some time that he is now abandoning his gracious friends and kin and is going to take up life among strangers, presumably the godless sorcerers whom have taught him this magic. He tell Agni that he has been taught by other lineages many rules of "Law and Order", meaning he has learned new secrets about the laws of the universe which even the Vedic gods do not know.  He states that the gods as in relation to him have lost their magic power and he is bidding farewell to the "Great God" and will be obtaining to his share of immortality without worship.  But the once Arya and now godless sorcerer invites the god Varuna, who is the god of natural order, if he loves his former devotee and wants to discern truth and right from falsehood, he is welcome to come along with him and rule his new kingdom. This new sorcerer king's sages will send their wisdom to the heavens to Varuna if he only hold back his violence and that the sorcerers and the gods will both bask together in the knowledge of the god head. As the gods need oblations and worship to survive, the sorcerer king promises his people will serve them. As this prayer has been recorded in the Vedas it is obvious that the Hindu gods made the right choice and did not murder the sorcerer but accepted his offer and learned their ways.

1. COME to this sacrifice of ours, O Agni, threefold, with seven threads and five divisions. Be our oblation-bearer and preceder: thou hast lain long enough in during darkness. 2 I come a God foreseeing from the godless to immortality by secret pathways, While I, ungracious one, desert the gracious, leave mine own friends and seek the kin of strangers. 3 1, looking to the guest of other lineage, have founded many a rule of Law and Order. I bid farewell to the Great God, the Father, and, for neglect, obtain my share of worship. 4 I tarried many a year within this altar: I leave the Father, for my choice is Indra. Away pass Agni, Varuna and Soma. Rule ever changes: this I come to favour. 5 These Asuras have lost their powers of magic. But thou, O Varuna, if thou dost love me, O King, discerning truth and right from falsehood, come and be Lord and Ruler of my kingdom. 6 Here is the light of heaven, here allis lovely; here there is radiance, here is air's wide region. Let us two slaughter Vrtra. Forth, O Soma! Thou art oblation: we therewith will serve thee. 7 The Sage hath fixed his form by wisdom in the heavens: Varuna with no violence let the waters flow. Like women-folk, the floods that bring prosperity have eau lit his hue and colour as they gleamed and shone. 8 These wait upon his loftiest power and vigour: he dwells in these who triumph in their Godhead; And they, like people who elect their ruler, have in abhorrence turned away from Vrtra. 9 They call him Swan, the abhorrent floods' Companion, moving in friendship with celestial Waters. The poets in their thought have looked on Indra swiftly approaching when Anustup calls him. - Rig Veda 10.124.1-5 

After this incidence at the end of the Rig Veda we see a new found tolerance for witchcraft in the next Veda, the Yajurveda, which is the book of rituals, and it is rituals which the godless sorcerers use to gain their godless knowledge of the universe. The gods now partake in and help the sorcerers in their witchcraft and even allow them to invert and invent new rituals. The war between the gods and sorcerers has ended because the Vedic gods were wise and strong enough to admit they were deficient and had much to learn from the sorcerers who had god above them to obtain knowledge, knowledge which even the gods themselves did not know, and so now I am convinced that unlike Zeus and the Greek pagans, Hindus have made their peace with the sorcerers and have come together with them to make the Vedas stronger and more true than ever before.

 When practising witchcraft, he should offer a hornless (beast) to Brahmanaspati - Yajur Veda 2.1.5 

 He who practises witchcraft should offer a red (cow) to Rudra - Yajur Veda 2.1.7

He who practises witchcraft should offer to Brahmanaspati (a cow) with brown ears; first he should make to Varuna an offering on ten potsherds; verily he causes Varuna to seize his foe and lays him low with the Brahman. It has brown ears; that is the symbol of the Brahman; (verily it serves) for prosperity. - Yajur Veda 2.1.8

 They should be offered in inverse order by one who is practising witchcraft; so he fastens on his breaths from in front, and then at pleasure lays him low  - Yajur Veda 3.4.8

 I am a Vedic supremacist because the Vedas bring us to the highest form of power and truth, I am convinced more than ever of this.  I have often been chastised for advising that we not only not entangle ourselves with other pagans but assert that the Vedas are above them and do all in our power to convert them or wipe them out.  I used to have respect for the ancient Greeks, but now I hate them more than even the Israelites of the Bible.  It was the Vedic god's humility and intelligence to see and understand what they did not know which gave the Vedic religion the strength to withstand to this day, all the other pagan religions of the earth had disappeared for very good reasons, they are inferior and will never survive. I am glad that I have finally found my true place in Hinduism, I can be a godless sorcerer and a friend of the gods. 

Why as a Hindu I support abortion

A while ago on my other blog I wrote a piece on my heroine and guru on earth, Margaret Sanger (see here). For those who do not know she was the world's premier birth control activist during the interwar period and she is the founder of Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood is often in the news as its role as the largest provider of abortion services makes it central to the reproductive rights debate.  Recently the abortion debate has once again erupted in the United States as New York State recently passed a bill which allows late term abortion and provides women with the right to abort the fetus up until the point of birth.  Now it is interesting to note that Margaret Sanger who started this entire industry made it known throughout her whole career up until her death that she was absolutely and totally against abortion; she begged women to use birth control to avoid the need for abortion as she stated she believed that life began at conception. However, Sanger's ideals are no longer pertinent as she has been usurped by her followers.  Sanger was proceeded by Alan Frank Guttmacher who not only became president of Planned Parenthood but who also launch the "Association for the Study of Abortion" in 1964.  Today abortion and birth control and inseparable.

But what do the Vedas and Hindu scriptures say about abortion. It is the general Hindu opinion that we are to take the path of least harm and so abortion is at least usually discouraged. The Vedic hymns show prayers to the gods that those who destroy embryos be driven far away and that it is the gods themselves who have created the fetus. The Vedic heroes beg that Prana, the life force, bind to them as it does an unborn babe so that they may live. The Vedas also make it clear that the embryo inside is indeed the reincarnation of a former human. The Mahabarata states that the sight of wicked demons can cause an abortion and that to abort a fetus is a terrible crime equatable to murdering a Brahmin. Abortion is obviously in general looked down upon and those who practice abortion are generally not accepted in Vedic society. 

That which destroys the sinking germ, the settled, moving embryo, That which will kill the babe at birth,even this will we drive far away. - Rig Veda 10.162.3 

 Four directions has the heaven, and also four the earth: (from these) the gods created the embryo. May they open her, that she shall bring forth! - Atharva Veda 1.11.2 

He moves as an embryo within the gods; having arrived, and being in existence, he is born again. Having arisen he enters with his mights the present and the future, as a father (goes to) his son. - Atharva Veda 11.4.20 

O Prâna, be not turned away from me, thou shalt not be other than myself! As the embryo of the waters (fire), thee, O Prâna, do bind to me, that I may live. - Atharva Veda 11.4.26

"Vinata is called the terrific Sakuni graha (spirit of evil). She who is known as Putana Rakshasi by the learned is the graha called Putana; that fierce and terrible looking Rakshasa of a hideous appearance is also called the pisacha, Sita Putana. That fierce-looking spirit is the cause of abortion in women." - The Mahabharata, Book 3: Vana Parva: Markandeya-Samasya Parva: Section CCXXIX

 "one that causeth abortion...  are reckoned as equal in moral turpitude as the slayers of Brahmanas." - The Mahabharata, Book 5: Udyoga Parva: Section XXXV 

However, in Hinduism, there are always exceptions to the rule, and so it should be no surprise that in the Vedas and other literature there are glimpses into the complex question of abortion.  In the Atharva Veda there’s a hymn entitled "The expiation of certain heinous crimes".  One of the crimes which the Arya seek to cleanse themselves of is the practice of abortion. Further the Puranas state that the ill effects of abortion last for three days, suggesting that one can be cleansed of the "sin" There is also a hymn in the Vedas in which a warrior begs the gods for forgiveness for murdering a women who was pregnant.  The implication here could be that while in warfare the slaying of pregnant women may at times be unavoidable, that this is not the ideal situation and that one would need to seek absolution for this crime. 

'Wipet off, O Pûshan, the misdeeds upon him that practiseth abortion! Atharva Veda 6.113.2

 "Ill effect of an abortion lasts for three days." -  Chapter 13 - "Expiation of Sins", Narada Purana 

The Expiation for the Slaughter of a Victim with Embryo  

a Surya, the god, for those that sit in the sky, Dhatr for lordly power, Vayu for offspring, Brhaspati for Prajapati offer thee radiant. b Thee have I united with the gods, Who hast a tawny embryo And a womb of gold, Whose limbs are uninjured. c Bring near, O bringer, Remove away, O remover, O Indra Nardabuda, With the four quarters of the earth Do thou bring near. d I split apart thy urinator, Thy womb, the two groins, [1] The mother and the child, The embryo and the after-birth. e Apart from thee let it be. So! f The drop, far extending, of all forms, Purified, wise, hath anointed the embryo. g With one foot, two feet, three feet, four feet, five feet, six feet, seven feet, eight feet may she extend over the worlds; hail! h Nay the two great ones, sky and earth, Mingle for us this sacrifice, May they sustain us with support. - Yajur Veda 3.3.10 Mantra 10: The Expiation for the Slaughter of a Victim with Embryo  

However, the Vedas go further still than this when it comes to the question of circumstances where abortion may be acceptable, but before I get to that, let me talk a little more about the foundations of the birth control and abortion movements in the United States.  The prophetess of the movement, Margaret Sanger, was much more than a women's rights activist, indeed this was actually secondary to her cause.  Sanger saw certain elements in society as being the enemies of higher civilization, particularly the Catholic Church.  Sanger, having a pagan spirit, saw the retrograde morality and intellect of Catholics as being a danger to the aspirations of the more educated and creative classes. This fear was compounded by the fact that Catholics refused to use any sort of contraception and bred in large numbers; in Sanger's time it was a real threat that Catholics could outnumber the rest of the population and sink the society down to a lower level.  Sanger has been accused of purposely targeting Catholic population in her birth control campaign as to lower their numbers, and perhaps this is true, and it is obviously clear that Sanger has made it more than acceptable for modern Catholics in America to use birth control and abortion despite the fact that these are generally condemned by the Vatican. Sanger knew how to use reproductive rights against the enemy. 

But is there any evidence in the Vedas of the use of abortion as a weapon of war?  In the Vedas there is a hymn which speaks of an enemy of the Arya who actually in some ways resembles Sanger, it is a woman who has arranged a spell to rob the Arya's children of their strength; the Vedic heroes pray that she in turn eat her own offspring, even worse than abortion! The Vedas also speak of slaying the offspring of sorcerers and putting spells on their servants to return to their makers and kill their children or make them childless. In the Mahabrata an adversary of Arjuna's enemy Karna states that it would have been better for Karna to have been aborted rather than take up arms against the side of Krishna. There is a specific charm in the Atharava Veda to make a woman sterile. 

The woman who has cursed us with a curse, who has arranged dire misfortune (for us), who has taken hold of our children, to rob them of their strength may she eat (her own) offspring!  - Atharva Veda 4.17.3 

Return, O Krityā, unto those who made thee. Wake them from sleep to find that they are childless... That tool of hatred, understood, made ready, stealthy and buried deep, have we discovered, Let that go back to whence it came, turn thither like a horse and kill the children of the sorcerer. -Atharva Veda 10.1.17, 19

Slay the offspring of the sorcerer, O soma-drinking (Indra), and subject (him)! Make drop out the farther and the nearer eye of the braggart (demon)! Atharva Veda 1.8.3 

The upper part of the womb do I place below, there shall come to thee neither offspring nor birth! I render thee sterile and devoid of offspring; a stone do I make into a cover for thee. - Athara Veda 7.35.3

 It would have been better for thee if thou hadst never been born in the womb of Kunti, or having taken thy birth there, if thou hadst come out on the fifth month an abortion, than to have, O prince, thus come away from battle, O thou of wicked soul! - Book 8: Karna Parva: Section 68 

Hindus have many enemies within India and abroad, some of whom have extremely high birth rates.  While the Vedas make it clear that in general Hindus should avoid abortion (though there are hints of moral relativity) this prohibition does not seem to always apply to one's enemies. It is clear to all that the enemies of Hinduism have no dharma and will resort to any method possible to destroy the eternal religion.  If we learn anything from the Mahabrata it is that when facing an enemy who does not follow dharma than the rules of Dharma-Yuddha, fair play, do not apply. While we Hindus should likely avoid abortion most of the time, Sanger and the Vedas have taught us it can be a potent weapon against our foes. 

Why the alt-Right wants Tulsi vs Trump 2020

The featured image above is shocking as it displays the growing nuance among the alt-Right and their newly explored fascination and even acceptance of Hinduism. Here Tulsi Gabbard, the Hindu Democratic presidential hopeful, is depicted as the once not so famous Savitri Devi. Born Maximiani Portas, a woman of Greek and French descent, Savitri Devi was a highly educated near genius who became an ardent follower of Hitler. After the fall of the Nazi regime Savitri converted to Hinduism which she described as the last Aryan ethic on earth and spent the rest of her life attempting to synthesize a new religion out of the two; she was deeply influential in post WWII esoteric Nazi circles and has come to be known as Hitler's High Priestess. 

Savitri Devi was not one sided in her evangelism. She did proclaim Adolph Hitler as an avatar of Vishnu, come to begin the process of ending the Kali Yuga, but she also displayed strong affections and concern for her newly adopted homeland when she moved to India and married a Brahmin. Perhaps Devi's most famous work, "A Warning to the Hindus", pleads with the Hindus of India to take every measure to prevent the Christianization and Islamization of India, she proudly touted herself as India's native informant. Savitri enticed many after the war to travel to India to discover this home of the Aryans where many became enamored by visions of Hindu shrines which contained pictures of both Hitler and Stalin side by side, a testament to the Hindu's ability to accept political monism, the capacity to see even opposite political figures as players in what Hinduism calls Lila, "the divine play", the unfolding of historical events which are leading us to the Hindu end times where the messiah, the Kalki, will descend upon earth to wipe out the non-Hindus, and even demons have their role to play in this celestial drama. You can access all of Savitri Devi's works at the “Savitri Devi Archive”. 

But Tulsi Gabbard's campaign has not been co-opted by the pagan alt-Right haphazardly as she has been officially endorsed by former KKK leader David Duke and is admired by White Nationalist Richard Spencer. Steve Bannon, Trump's former alt-Right leaning adviser and a self-proclaimed enthusiast of Hindu scriptures, he was the one who set up the infamous meeting between Tulsi Gabbard and Trump immediately after his election; Tulsi was condemned by the Democratic establishment (which she seems to always buck) for making this move, but it was the nature of this meeting which is most important. Gabbard stated that she wanted to take this opportunity to convince Trump to end regime change wars in the Middle East, particularly that of Assad in Syria. Trump has come to display a very confusing and unpredictable stance on the wars in the Middle East and for this he has lost much of his formerly enthusiastic youthful alt-Right fan base as they feel betrayed and mislead by Trump's initial fervent rhetoric of bringing the troops home. 

This brings us to the alt-Right's seemingly inexplicable interest in Tulsi. Tulsi Gabbard's initial claim to fame was the fact that she was the first Hindu to ever be elected to congress, but it is her record which has become more than center focus. Gabbard skyrocketed to international prominence when during the 2016 elections she very publicly quit her position at the DNC, accusing them of rigging the primaries against the obviously more popular and widely supported Bernie Sanders in favor of the establishment queen Hillary Clinton. Like the alt-Right, the newly described "alt-Left" has become extremely anti-establishment, anti-war, and anti-Zionism as they view these as racist and bigoted neo-colonialism and the Democratic party presents itself as the cheerleaders for all of these. 

Even though Sanders is Jewish, there was little venom from the alt-Right for his candidacy as his positions seemed to echo many of their own. Sanders presented himself as a strongly Left leaning typical socialist, but in fact his agenda more represented National Socialism, a Leftist economy protected by nationalist protectionism. He, unlike Hillary, was extremely critical of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and at the beginning of his campaign he seemed to be leery of open borders as a Koch brothers scheme to advance America toward jackboot capitalism with infinitely cheap and expendable labor. As she had gone renegade against the DNC to support Bernie, Tulsi not only became his right hand woman but it was widely believed that she would be his pick for Vice-President. While Gabbard has not laid out her economic policy, it is assumed that it will not differ all that much from what Sanders was proposing. 

No sooner had the ink dried on Trump's first presidential signatures than the alt-Left, completely unprompted, began campaigning for Tulsi 2020 with an almost supernatural fanaticism. Tulsi further energized the alt-Left, but also became more popular with the alt-Right, when in 2017 she once again defied her party to travel to Syria to meet with Assad on a fact finding mission as to ascertain the truth of the situation on the ground; she returned with the commitment and has recently reiterated her strongly held belief that Assad is not the enemy and that the accusations against him of genocide are suspect. This is how she became the darling of David Duke. Now that Tulsi is the shining star of the Democratic primaries and has been proven to be the favorite with independent voters, her anti-war position has gained her the same accusation which was thrown at the once much more anti-war Trump, she's a Russian agent, and this pathetic smear campaign has only made Tulsi more prominent and popular, she is obviously feared by the DNC.

But Gabbard is not only appealing to the alt-Left and the alt-Right, she is also strategically making strides with the military, moderates, the counter-jihad movement, Hindutva and even reasonable Christians. As an Iraq war veteran herself, Gabbard has made much of the focus of her anti-war platform about the troops, she says they are being sacrificed, and this is true; she is also more vocal about their welfare than the welfare of incoming illegal immigrants. Far from being politically correct, Gabbard became subject to accusations of Islamophobia when she criticized President Obama for not using the words "radical Islamic terrorism"; she had described herself as a hawk on terrorism but a dove on war, and this is more than believable. Her commitment to protecting to the US from Islamic terrorism will obviously make her a proponent of protecting the border which has been permeable to Muslim extremist coming in through South America. 

The radical Leftist-Muslim alliance in the US has made Tulsi famous for being conspicuously pro-BJP, pro-Modi, and pro-India, she is painted as a clandestine Hindu fascist; she is already being supported by both American and Indian Hindutva cells. While Gabbard has openly criticized delegations and motions to characterize India as a religiously intolerant state which persecutes Christians, here at home she is exploiting the new Hindu-Christian alignment against Islamism which was forged during the Trump campaign; she recently called out her fellow Democrats for their inquisition into the Catholic beliefs of federal judicial nominees, it helps that her father is a Catholic and that Tulsi has admitted to having privately held beliefs against homosexuality and abortion but which she has stated will never be enacted into public law. While the more politically astute Muslims have chastised Gabbard for her connections to Hindutva, many Muslims cannot help but align with her as they know she will stop bombing their home countries and she has shown support for a two state solution between Israel and Palestine. This not to mention that the Muslims in the alt-Left cannot afford to stick out like a sore thumb among the sea of Tulsi’s adoring former Bernie fans. 

So why does the alt-Right want to make it Tulsi vs Trump 2020? The alt-Right's support for Trump is old news and predictable, but more importantly their love for him has cooled off as he is quickly becoming a stooge for the pro-war Christian Zionist and Jewish Zionist lobbies. During Trumps run is 2016 he was very visibly supported by the American Hindu community who aligned with him as he is anti-Islam and had made it his agenda to end the United State’s support for India’s greatest enemy, Pakistan. Another reason that the "Hindus For Trump" movement was established was for attention, it was known that this would be seen as counter-intuitive to the American people which would force them to question and research the alliance further which would inevitably lead them to information on Hinduism, Hindutva and perhaps their own philosophical and political connection to both, and this worked, the conservative Right and the alt-Right have both been tipped off to Hindutva as a friend. While “Hindus For Tulsi” would be a lot less perplexing and interesting, the alt-Right for Gabbard would put the now directionless movement back on track and have the inverse effect of “Hindus For Trump”, meaning it would draw Hindu attention to the alt-Right which wants this ally to springboard their own Aryan agenda (for those who are racialist pagans). 

But there is an even larger harvest to be reaped from the alt-Right's supposed enemies, the alt-Left. It is the alt-Left who are now the biggest cheerleaders for Tulsi, but the mainstream media is highlighting her connections to the alt-Right, Hindutva, her anti-war efforts and her mixed record on Israel as she highlights Palestinian grievances and she is certainly not liked by the Zionist machine. Further support for Gabbard from the alt-Right will only bring this muck racking reporting to feverish pitches, and the alt-Left will have to come to her defense. As the alt-Left works to supersede the alt-Right as the visible power behind Tulsi, they will eventually notice that many, or can we say almost all of their own ideas and desires are held by the alt-Right as well, there will come an inevitable amalgamation of these opposing groups, the same of which was the recipe for the rise of Adolph Hitler. But Gabbard will be no Hitler, her mixed Polynesian/White ancestry (her mother was a White Hindu) will be convincing to the Left that she will be racially reasonable, and if they are logical and rational enough the alt-Right will be able to break themselves of their un-strategic racism, she will serve as a force to separate the alt-Right from their toxic political alliances with the Abrahamic elements of their own race. But not only this, now being seen as pseudo-friends of the Hindus, the alt-Right can attract Whites from the alt-Left, many of whom secretly wish to be part of the alt-Right but who cannot swallow the pill of hard racism; Hinduism is racially nuanced enough to give these would be defectors the courage to jump ship while also satiating the racialist needs of the alt-Right. 

Hinduism was not only the obsession of Hitler's High Priestess Savitri Devi but also other famous Nazis such as Himmler. These beacons along with the inroads made by the “Hindus For Trump” movement have driven the alt-Right toward Hinduism and Hindutva which they view as highly related to their own Aryan ideals. The alt-Right, outside of this new allegiance has had nothing new to offer since Trump's election, and they themselves are searching for a new relevance, a new strategy for swelling their numbers, and even a new spirituality. By supporting Tulsi under the banner of affinity toward Hinduism and opposition to the Judeo-Christian war for Armageddon, the alt-Right will not only further raise their profile but also exhibit a new refinement which they so desperately need. The alt-Left, the military, the moderates and even some anti-war Christians will certainly notice that thy are in the same camp as the alt-Right and this will do nothing but further sermonize the third position as well as at least make known and popular its Aryan roots which are becoming more sophisticated under the tutelage of Hinduism. However, and finally, more importantly, if it is Tulsi vs Trump in 2020, the alt-Right will not only have a win on both sides but they will be able to use their support for Tulsi as leverage against Trump, if he wants to win again he will have to further capitulate to their position, this or lose the election and serve as a warning to all.
