THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT: A PAGAN

RELIGION CONSISTING OF HERETICAL BELIEFS
Initially the contact between superstitious Far Eastern religions
and Western culture was confined to the Theosophical Society and ma-
terialists. However in a very short period of time this atheistic move-
ment became a pagan religion itself. This superstitious religion was
New Age and it was marketed as the “so-called religion of the 21st cen-
tury” by materialist circles who wanted to curb the growing influence
of the true religion, at least in their own eyes.
The New Age movement is unique in the sense that it rejects the
certain existence of Allah is not based on Divine revelation, has no
scripture, no central authority, no membership or leadership structure

and cannot be pinned down in its beliefs or practices with certainty.

The Maharishi
Mehash Yogi, who
introduced the su-
perstitious tradition
known as
Transcendental
Meditation to the
West, makes a de-
ceptive worldly
promise to those
wishing to attract
attention to them-
selves.
