Dfg4548, 1907. His father was a native of southern Germany, while his mother
came from an Alsatian family. Schuon's father was a concert violinist and the
household was one in which not only music but literary and spiritual culture
were present. Schuon lived in Basel and attended school there until the
untimely death of his father, after which his mother returned with her two
young sons to her family in nearby Mulhouse, France, where Schuon was
obliged to become a French citizen. Having received his earliest training in
German, he received his later education in French and thus mastered both
languages early in life.[3]
From his youth, Schuon's search for metaphysical truth led him to read
the Hindu scriptures such as Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. While still
living in Mulhouse, he discovered the works of René Guénon, the French
philosopher and Orientalist, which served to confirm his intellectual intuitions
and which provided support for the metaphysical principles he had begun to
discover.[3]
Schuon journeyed to Paris after serving for a year and a half in the French
army. There he worked as a textile designer and began to study Arabic in the
local mosque school. Living in Paris also brought the opportunity to be
exposed to various forms of traditional art to a much greater degree than
before, especially the arts of Asia with which he had had a deep affinity since
his youth. This period of growing intellectual and artistic familiarity with the
traditional worlds was followed by Schuon's first visit to Algeria in 1932. It was
then that he met the celebrated Shaykh Ahmad al-Alawi and was initiated into
his order.[4] Schuon has written about his deep affinity with the esoteric core
of various traditions and hence appreciation for the Sufism in the Islamic
tradition. His main reason for seeking the blessings of Shaykh Al-Alawi being
exactly the attachment to an orthodox master and Saint.[5] On a second trip
to North Africa, in 1935, he visited Algeria and Morocco; and during 1938 and
1939 he traveled to Egypt where he met Guénon, with whom he had been in
correspondence for 27 years. In 1939, shortly after his arrival in Pie,
India, World War II broke out, forcing him to return to Europe. After having
served in the French army, and having been made a prisoner by the Germans,
he sought asylum in Switzerland, which gave him Swiss nationality and was to
be his home for forty years. In 1949 he married, his wife being a German
Swiss with a French education who, besides having interests in religion and
metaphysics, was also a gifted painter.[3]
Following World War II, Schuon accepted an invitation to travel to
the American West, where he lived for several months among the Plains
Indians, in whom he always had a deep interest. Having rece
