Germanic peoples were considered the purest Aryans. Before this idea was dis-
proved by anthropologists in the second half of the 20th century, it was adopted by
Adolf Hitler and the Nazis and would form the basis for the German regime’s pol-
icy of exterminating Jews, Gypsies and other non-Aryans”. 76

Reviving the pagan and racist Aryan culture, which is also the ba-
sis of Hinduism, was central to the Nazi ideology. The founders of
Nazism had taken a great interest in Hinduism. The creator of the Nazis’
occult ideas, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, had traveled to India in her
quest to discover the roots of paganism, and lived there for many years
as an admirer of Hinduism. Another leading figure of Nazism, Guido
von List had founded the List foundation in 1904 at Vienna. One of the
most notable aspects of this foundation was that Hinduisms Tantra ritu-

two S’s, side by side, was his brainchild, and it was adopted later by the

SS, the Schutzstaffel, Adolf Hitlers’ Praetorian Guard. 77

ed it. Hitler explained in the 2nd volume, 7th chapter, of his infamous
book Mein Kampf (My Struggle), that the Swastika was an Aryan symbol.
The swastika is still widely used in India at the present as it sym-

“India’s Swastika God” had the following to say on the subject (Surely
Allah is beyond all the expressions at the beginning of and throughout
the text):

“For millions of Hindus, Ganesha is the most important imaginary deity in the
Hindu firmament because they can only through him make their prayers reach all
the other deities in the spiritual universe…The swastika, Ganesha’s main symbol,
