René Guénon on Hinduism

[@hasforth9]

It's a bittersweet feeling discovering Réne Guenon, Julius Evola and the Traditionalist school. I have always felt detached and excluded from contemporary Western society with its materialism and false egalitarian values, but I never knew of any real alternatives until I stumbled over a critique "Metaphysics of War" in a left-wing newspaper. I feel like I have so much to learn, despite being educated within the confines of modern Historiography.

However, Muslims absolutely reject the belief that Muhammad was to any degree divine, insisting that it is never permissible to do to Muhammad what the Christians did to Jesus (make him the son of God). According to Islam, regarding Muhammad, or any other creature, human or otherwise, to be divine to any degree would be _shirk_ (association with God), the only sin unforgivable in the afterlife.

For some crucially important reasons, the ideas of Frithjof Schuon [when differing from those of René Guénon] are of world-shaking importance; so one must be informed: he summarizes his distinctive ideas on page 53 of Aldo Vidali's dossier of the Schuon cult, which is on ZLibrary and Scribd. He writes that a pure pneumatic [افراد، فرد] has a revelation and the primordial law in the depths of his own heart, so revelation and a sacred law are not essential, and such a person can never deviate, whatever appearances may be from a particular limited perspective. As proof, he cites impeccable authorities: The Brahma Sutras, Meister Eckhardt and René Guénon, all of whom said more in other passages well worth reading, and found on my site here: Frithjof Schuon: A last minute lesson in discerment. There, you'll also find a page with excerpts from Guénon's letters on Schuon, dated from 1936 to 1950; and a refutation of Schuon's booklet, called "Some observations," in which he criticizes Guénon. The French of that Refutation is on Scribd, called Réfutation de Quelques critiques, de Schuon. Theres an automatic translation into English on Scribd too but it's much better on my site; and a fine metaphysician is editing my editing for the ideas...so soon, God willing, it will be great! For an opposite view, that of the"Schuonians," see "Frithjof Schuon: Messenger of the Perennial philosophy," which is on pdfdrive, ZLibrary and Scribd. The chapter called "At variance with Guénon" shows how/why Schuon thought he was the "most profound metaphysician of the twentieth century," when he also thought a lot more. I'm dead set opposed to that book, beginning with the title, handwritten by Frithjof Schuon on page xvii. That word "Messenger" drives me out of my mind; and the idea that the Perennial philosophy is anything like a religion that leads to salvation and has a Prophet...finishes me off completely! Of course I love all revelations: who would dream otherwise!

[@quidestveritas659]

Guenon denied in fact that there was ever a thing like an homogenous aryan society. On the other hand, he was more interested in hinduist metaphysical teachings as in islamic literature. The biggest part of Guenons library included books about hindu- topics and vedic philosophy or spirituality. He stayed in Egypt because a coincidence. He was also more intetested in Sufism as in the Koran. But we should not forget that Guenon was never an advocat for the indoeuropean people and he was in several points strictly against Evolas ideas and goals.

[@Survivethejive]

Guenon denied the Aryans existed as a distinct people! He even said only the Chinese are a race and no one else. He was wrong about so many things

[@reneguenon7824]

@@Survivethejive Yes. He said also that the Hyperboreans are from many different races. Ive read enough of him. Some points in his books and especially his critique on the modern world is correct and valuable. The problem with the majority of mystics and conservatives is that they are in their core, their soul, weak persons and xenophilia (like the enlightement philosophers, the freemasons and many occultists and so forth) is a sign of uprooting. Unfortunately many people in roman nations own no selfunderstanding as whites and in our time is the ideology of 1789 and a cosmopolitan (or internationalist) mindset totally normal. On the other hand, Evolas glorification of the "aryan-roman race", the Imperium romanum and the medieval Holy Empire of German Nation its problematic. No multiethnic empire retains on a long term a pure race or a homogenous tribe or cast. The dissolution of the roman patricians in the Imperium was a question of time. (I share the opinion of Hans F.K.Günther to this subject.) I appreciate a lot of things on Evola, but partially he was misdirected by political romancy. And about men like Frithjof Schuon und Titus Burckhardt we don't even need to talk. I see clear the line christianisation- humanism-freemasonry-1789-liberalism, democracy, marxism-nihilism. And the problem with Guénon has two aspects: firstly, he started as catholic and secondly he was a mixed person without any kind of racial thinking and self-image. Race and nation meant nothing to him. He was never a proud european and all of his essays on celtic and cultural topics are pure metaphysical and mythical texts. He had no sense for worldly and biological factors nor things like racial souls and racial mentality.

[@xiuhcoatl4830]

@@reneguenon7824 because the roman identity is cultural, not racial. You weren't roman for being of a certain race, you were roman for living, acting and thinking like a roman. That's what differentiate romance culture from anglosaxon culture where race is more relevant. That's why the spaniards cared for converting people and building stuff in their colonies, so conquered peoples would become spaniard, same thing with the romans. Race is just a specific fenotype which ironically denies the actual diversity of closer peoples, like saying europeans aren't diverse because they are white, when white is just a bunch of fenotypical traits, but with few to no relevance when translated to culture. That's why romans were completely different from the picts, despite being both white, that's why India is filled with multiple regional cultures with their own identity but you see them all the same because they are all brown.

Most of the early and even later Sikh converts have been from low castes who were treated badly. The caste is to be dropped in order to join the religion as well. Fun fact though, Sikhism doesn't have any real concepts of Heaven or hell or eternal punishment. The closest they have is "be close to god/energy" and you'll basically be merged back into it. The life lessons are nothing but casual good/bad stuff and just allowing people to follow their religion as it doesn't matter what religion someone is from, as different people and different cultures can use their own ways to worship. If it wasn't God based, it'd be pretty nice. It's a good combination of the two very different types of religions.

There’s no reason to presume advaita, as the traditionalist school tends to do. The Vedas speak of both nonduality and duality, and Sri Ramanuja synthesized this into Vishishtadvaita, which is a qualified monism. And this tendency to see this as simply remote and beyond this is wrong. The myths, including death of the gods, their multiplicity, and so on, tells us something true about the Absolute. Even something as seemingly low as sacrifice shows us the sacrificial nature of the Henad in making the world, as this requires a descent of Being into a more limited context. And we begin the paradox of “already was” and “becoming”. This becoming isn’t a mere illusion. It’s the point of this world, or we are otherwise part of a cruel joke. If the state of affairs is the same both before and after this world, this is all pointless, regardless of the terminology used to defend such a notion. In Japanese Shingon Buddhism, Dainichi Nyorai (Mahavairocana Buddha) is both the basis of everything, and also said to be synonymous with everything in its final realized state. These are paradoxes that must be grappled with rather than sweeping them away under an extreme form of monism.

[@logofworthyjunkmail6514]

Your description of caste and romantic idealization of it shows you haven't read hindu texts or haven't looked into Indias history. I'm (born) an Iyer Brahmin so I did spend some time studying texts among its endless ocean because of my orthodox family. Everything from the Shudras being walking crematoriums, pouring lac in their ear if they hear the Vedas, cutting their tongue off and body to pieces if they study the Vedas (Manusmriti, Gautama & Baudhyana Dharmasutras) - it's all quoted by Adi Shankara (most important Hindu Philosopher) in his Brahma Sutras. And this is not the 'misplaced application of the original intention of the caste system'. No, the Manusmriti was written about 800BCE, which is as old as it gets. And the Gryha Sutras of the Vedangas (Vedas) mention the similar ideas and were written older around 1500-1200BCE, very close to the Vedas composition. So this stuff was the original intention of the system, but bit less dialed down than the quotes I mentioned. Its basis was discrimination on birth though. Further on, the intermixture of the castes are forbidden and called Anuloma and Pratiloma marriages. Their offspring would be called "varna-shankara" children that were disposed off and ostracized to become untouchables. The lowest are called chandalas, and they're still used as a bad word in common lingo today in south India. These children were 'born' that way because they did 'sins' in their past life and it provided endless reasons to not educate them and bring them up the ladder. Brahmins of the past wouldn't touch them either in general. Everything was because they were born impure or 'tamasic'. Krishna also says in the Gita that Women, Vaishyas, Shudras are 'papayonya' (sinful birth). And Chandogya Upanishad 5.10.7 (800BCE) - "Now, people here whose behavior is pleasant can expect to enter a pleasant womb, like that of a woman of the Brahmin, the Kshatriya, or the Vaisya class. But people of foul behavior can expect to enter a foul womb, like that of a dog, a pig, or an outcaste woman." And since you love anything 'Aryan', I should mention that Buddhism and Jainism other parts of Hinduism (Kashmiri Shavism) opposed this system to its core and it's whole theory, application and basis. The basis of the varna system was the connection of Kula (birth), Guna (qualities) and occupation and was opposed by these philosophies. Instead, the focus was on just Gunas, which is the same as what we call merit or qualities today to judge a person. Obviously, I think you may say 'Buddhism wasn't meant to be pacifist', which shows you probably haven't read about Buddhism. You also said opposing the caste system is like 'overturning every legitimate hierarchy'. What..? It's bringing back the power to that of Merit, and not birth. So a hierarchy will still exist, but a much more reasonable one on merit. Kind of like Buddhas middle way, where both can coexist but with more fairness. The existence of 'caste' has no benefit or value and the instead does the opposite. Hierarchies will always exist in society on the basis of inequality of capability of different people, hence absolutely no need to create newer destructive hierarchies on birth. Allow people to do their thing. You also say 'a person can't change their nature' and so caste makes total sense. The notion of the lower castes 'unpleasant nature' (tamasic qualities) was imposed upon by the 'Indo-Aryans' (who later formed the substrate called Brahmins and Kshatriyas) on the Shudras and Untouchables and was a product of the tremendous bias and racism of the Arya's since the systems conception. These same lower caste people built a large part of the Indus Valley Civilization and Tamil Sangam Literature. To say the castes 'nature' is to be tamasic or 'petulant, angry, unintelligent' (as told in some Hindu texts) shows total lack of knowledge. Only nowadays, Shudras are being liberated from this system, and there are a plethora able to perform and succeed, like B.R Ambedkar, etc. You seem to think there's 'wisdom' in all this, but you're really out of touch with reality if you think so.

Wrong interpretation of Brahmin and 4 varnas (not caste). And completely wrong saying that shudra borned under it's feet. Shudra are it's feet. And all three i.e Brahman, kshatriya, vaishya are balance on the power of shudra. This is the true interpretation and this is the structure of any society even today no matter which religion, which country i.e the same. There are intellectuals (brahmins) are mostly known as scientists, doctors, lawyers, burocrates, administrators, teachers. Kshatriya we know them today as Army, politicians, secret agents and all of them who are part of defence. Vaishya are mostly businessman and shudra who help all above to do their work or we know them as employees of all the above three Varna's. This is the same structure going on from ages. Caste is new western term for varna with different meaning to it. And there are cycles of ages for each one if them to be powerful. First the brahmins were holding the power on rest three then kshatriya who takeover and hold the power, after that capitalism and then shudra were for some time and this cycle repeated again and again. And term comes when it is most necessary to balance the structure of the inbalanced society due to over power of earlier varna.

He was a Muslim

I dislike Guenon, he strikes me as just an Orientalist as was shown for his fanaticism for Islam.

[@ekmad]

That's a great reason for it yes, we have to remember Islam is simply a Jewish Messianic Sect gone rogue. Guenon wasn't smart enough to see its limitations and was blinded by its Orientalism and "mystique" both of which were not Islamic in nature. The spiritual core of the East was destroyed by the Islamic Monolith and its corpse worn to fool those that it had not. Compare that to someone like Savitri Devi who was undoubtedly an Orientalist (admitted so herself) but accurately saw Hinduism and Buddhism for what it was, namely being the spiritual centre of Humans and something we had lost in the West.

@@ekmad I think that the word "mystical" is not at all good to describe what he saw in religion. In most of his books he criticizes the mysticism of the medieval Occident and of the modern paganism. He thought that only through intellectual initiation one can reach the transcendence. The problem is that he saw this in every religious tradition, so obviously he was wrong.

@Ian Miles so how do you view Islam

@@ekmad The west has never yet produced half a Guenon and you’re here criticising Islam? Tell me, what do you know about Islam? Guenon was, is and perhaps will remain the GOAT from the West.
