Koradhi Race

In a previous article,
you have read, fine reader, that in another natural process of changing the
physiognomy of the Earth, the Fifth Aryan Race or Children of the Fifth
Sun, as the Aztecs call us, will perish by fire and earthquakes; It is good to
remember that from among that Chaos, a nucleus of survivors that will
serve as a foundation for the future Sixth Root Race or “KORADHI RACE”
will be taken, precisely, from among the smoke and flames, at its precise
moment, that is, BEFORE THAT THIS ENTIRE SCENARIO that served
for the Fifth Root Race BE ENDED. After that fifth great catastrophe, just
as they did in the Atlantean cataclysm, all the brothers of the Light will
have to work with the future great race. This is how they will all create a
new civilization and a new culture. In the Universal White Brotherhood
the next Race is called, the KORADHI RACE. Just as this Race is the
ARIAN RACE, the future Race is that of KORADHI. The new race will
emerge after the cataclysm of the fifth race and will live on a transformed
Earth.

This is how the Aryan survivors will be physically taken to a secret

island that exists in the Pacific Ocean, those who will be transferred to the
Island will be people who have dissolved at least 50% of the ANIMAL
EGO. Therefore, they will be more or less awake. They will be taken,
therefore, where they should be taken. There they will live until the time
they must live; They will disincarnate and take on a new physical body
right there, on the Island, and they will disincarnate again and come to
take on a new physical body and in each of those existences they will
continue with the work of perfecting themselves. As for whether they
remember the catastrophe, THAT DEPENDS ON THE DEGREE OF
CONSCIOUSNESS that each person has achieved.

A conscious person will have to remember everything; a half-

conscious person will remember less. It all depends on the conscious
capacity of each person... Congratulations, we know that in this ill-fated
world of so much misfortune, we are precisely the fifth generation. It is
obvious that the future Sixth Race will be even smaller in stature. The
Sixth Great Race, the Koradhi Race, will be smaller than the Aryan.

Thus, the righteous will be the seedbed of the future sixth great race.
The righteous will be brought to earth again when it is in favorable living
conditions. Then the sixth race will be born. The "KORADHI" Breed. Only
a small group of select people will be saved, to serve as a seedbed for the
future sixth great race, which will live, beyond time and distance, in what
is today the polar cap, that is, it will flourish on the Continent of the
Antarctica and then the divine Master Jesus will return, as well as other
divine Mayan Masters, Aztecs, Egyptians, etc., to illuminate the sixth root
race. This is how, from the bottom of the sea, new skies and new lands will
emerge where the future sixth great RACE will dwell. I repeat, so that it is
understood and well understood: Before the cataclysm, the righteous will
be secretly saved just as the biblical Noah did in his time and moment.
Anyone who eliminates the dear ego, the dear selves, will be able to
transcend the great world catastrophe. The Apostle Saint Paul, in his
Epistle to the Thessalonians (I, Chap. V, 29-21), warns that; "DON'T LESS
THE PROPHECIES, EXAMINE, HOLD THE GOOD THING." The
Cyclical history of humanity opens, in chapter VI of Genesis, with the
story of the Universal Flood (the submergence of the Atlantean
Continent), and concludes in the XX of the Apocalypse, in the burning
flames of the Final Judgment. From this , and despite its apparent
universality and the terrifying and prolonged action of the unleashed
elements, we are convinced that the Great Cataclysm, which is
approaching, will not act equally everywhere or in the entire extension of
the continents and the seas. Some privileged lands will shelter the men,
women and children of the world salvation army. Just as the Great Law
will destroy the perverse, as it destroyed them in the Submerged
Atlantean Continent, so will the Good Law, Charity, Mercy, fight to save
the select, the chosen. And in those privileged lands for some time these
select souls will witness the terrifying duel of water and fire.

The double Rainbow will announce a new pact between God and
men. The double Rainbow will announce the charm of a new golden age,
after the Great Catastrophe... Virgil, the great poet of Mantua, Master of
the Florentine Dante, said: "The Golden Age has arrived and a New
Progeny rules...". It is good to know that among the sands of the Gob
desert, rich Atlantean treasures are hidden, powerful machines unknown
to this Aryan race. From time to time the sands reveal all these treasures,
only the men of the great sixth Koradhi Race, who in the future will
inhabit this planet, will be able to know these treasures and that in
exchange for righteous conduct. However, the children of the Sixth Sun,
the KORADHI, on the future Earth of tomorrow, will also die. Like the
previous ones, the sixth race will also perish to give way to the seventh
Great Race. That is the Law and the Law is fulfilled. It would be a
wonderful thing to be part of the exodus to complete a work begun and
thus deserve to be part of the next race, but unfortunately many of us have
not even begun, we must work harmoniously with the three factors of the
Revolution of Consciousness, if at all. We actually long to be part of that
World Salvation Army.

The Aryan race is a concept whose acceptance reached its peak in the 19th
century and the first half of the 20th century . Wine inspired by the discovery of
the Indo-European language family . Nineteenth-century ethnologists proposed
that all white European peoples were descendants of the ancient Aryan people.
Several European colonialist and nationalist movements of the time embraced
this idea, especially German Nazism , which used the concept of the Aryan race
(reinterpreted as a race of lords of people of Northern European lineage) to
justify its racialist and militarist postulates. .

The word Aryan , because it has been associated with the racism and imperialism
of the Nazis, has been strongly marked so that it is hardly used except in relation
to Nazism. In fact, the very existence of a differentiated "Aryan people" (or of
the Proto-Indo-Europeans, as the primitive speakers of the unified Indo-European
language are now called) is still under discussion.

The concept of the Aryan race and the different beliefs associated with it should
not be confused with the religion called Arianism .

[ writes ] Origin of the concept

The idea of an "Aryan race" arises when linguists identify Avestan and Sanskrit
as the oldest known relatives of major European languages including Latin ,
Greek , all Germanic languages , and Celtic languages . They argue that the
speakers of those languages originated from an ancient people who must have
been ancestors of all European peoples.

These hypothetical ancestors are given the name Aryans , taken from the Sanskrit
and Avestan word arya meaning "noble." From this point of view the word
"Aryan" comes to mean something similar to "white European" — excluding the
population of Jewish and Arab origin, since their respective ancestral languages
do not belong to the Indo-European family.

It should be noted that in the Vedas the word arya is never used with ethnic or
racial connotations. It is still used by Zoroastrianism , Buddhism , Jainism , as
well as Hinduism with the meaning of "noble" or "spiritual." It is similar to the
Sanskrit word sri , a voice of respect.

[ writes ] The question of the homeland of the Aryans

The origins of the ancient "Aryans" in geographical terms are still debated.
Avestan was the language of ancient Persia , which roughly coincides with
modern-day Iran . Sanskrit is associated with the Indus Valley in northern India,
east of Persia. The native (and current) name of Persia, Iran, is a variant of
"Aryan" (in fact, it is Ayr + an , "country of the Aryans", where - an is a Persian
localization suffix). On the other hand, the rulers of Persia called themselves
Aryans . Darius the Great , king of Persia ( 521 - 486 BC ) states in an inscription
in Naqsh-e-Rostam, near Shiraz (Iran): "I am Darius, the great,..., Persian, son of
Persian, an Aryan, of Aryan lineage..." The Avesta also gives notice of a
homeland called Airyanem Vaejah (The Aryan Solar), from which the Aryans are
supposed to have migrated.

These and other clues suggested that there was an Aryan people whose
descendants, the Achaemenids (such as kings Cyrus II and Darius the Great ),
existed and proclaimed it. However, all these expressions are equally understood
if we give the word "Aryan" the meaning of "noble."

This clue gave rise to the search for the primeval Aryan homeland, and thus — it
was believed — to the origins of the European " race ." Many scholars claimed
that the Aryans would have originated in the steppes of Central Asia , from
which, around 1800 BC , they would have migrated to Europe, in the east, and to
Afghanistan , Iran , Pakistan and areas of northern India. , In the south. The
dispersion of the Aryans would explain how Indo-European languages had such
an expansion throughout Europe and Asia . Furthermore, it was thought that the
Aryans came as conquerors, displacing previous peoples. They were able to carry
out the conquest of such vast territories thanks to their nomadic lifestyle, the use
of horses and wheeled vehicles such as carts, which gave them a crucial military
advantage. This model of conquest and cultural substitution was once widely
accepted but is generally rejected today, at least as far as Europe is concerned.
The conquest, if it took place, was a local phenomenon. There is no evidence of
widespread wars or cultural substitution. Likewise, it is difficult to conclude from
pre-writing artifacts what language the people who made these "conquests"
spoke, since they could have been those of one Indo-European group over
another equally Indo-European.
[ writes ] The culture of the Aryans

It cannot be denied that there are common roots between the cultures of ancient
Persia and India. There also seem to be relationships with other nearby peoples
such as the Hittites and the Mitanni . That ancient culture includes the worship of
Indra , Varuna , Agni and Mithra , as well as the ritual use of a hallucinogenic
drink called soma extracted from an unknown plant. However, as the separation
and migration of the different populations occurred, their religions also changed.
Finally, from the primordial Aryan belief system emerged the Vedic and
Zoroastrian cults in which the Aryan ancestral gods gave rise to diverse
pantheons.

Among scholars the term is currently used solely to identify the protoculture
from which Vedic and Zoroastrian beliefs emerged. In linguistics, the Indo-
Aryan languages are those that derive from Sanskrit. However, white
supremacism still commonly uses the term as a racial designation.

[ writes ] Imperialist, nationalist and Nazi uses of the term

The theory of Aryan origins in the Russian steppes was not the only one that
circulated in the 19th century. German scholars maintained that the Aryans saw
their origin in ancient Germany or Scandinavia, or at least it was in those
countries where the original Aryan ethnicity had been preserved. It was a
widespread belief that the Vedic Aryans were ethnically similar to the Goths ,
Vandals , and other ancient Germanic peoples of the Völkerwanderung . This
idea was often intertwined with anti-Semitic beliefs. Distinct "Aryan" and "
Semitic " peoples were claimed to exist based on assumptions about the ethnic
and linguistic history of the ancient world. Thus, Semitic populations came to be
seen as strange presences within "Aryan" societies. At this time the work of
Arthur de Gobineau was widely disseminated in Europe.

In India under the British Empire , English rulers also used the idea of a distinct
Aryan race as a way of allying themselves with the country's caste system. As
many modern European languages are related to Sanskrit , the British added this
to their justifications for their presence in India. They maintained that the Aryans
were “white” people who had invaded India in ancient times, subduing the dark-
skinned native Dravidian peoples, who were expelled southward. They also tried
to divide society by claiming that the Aryans had established themselves as the
dominant castes, who were traditionally the scholars of the sophisticated Vedic
scriptures of the Hindu faith. The discussion about the Aryan or Dravidian
"races" remains alive in India to this day, affecting religious and political debate.
Some Dravidian groups, especially the Tamils , maintain that the worship of
Shiva is a Dravidian religion in itself, distinguishable from Brahmanical
Hinduism. On the other hand, the Indian nationalist Hindutva movement claims
that the Aryan migration or conquest never happened since Vedism would have
emerged from the Indus civilization , which is assumed to predate the alleged
Aryans of India. See: Aryan invasion

These discussions also led to the theosophical movement founded by Madame

Blavatsky and Henry Olcott in the late 19th century. It was about some early
New Age philosophy inspired by Indian culture, especially the Hindu Arya
Samaj reform movement founded by Swami Dayananda . Theosophists
maintained that the Aryans were a race chosen by God to liberate the world.
Guido von List (and his followers such as Lanz von Liebenfels ) later embraced
these ideas by joining them to a nationalist creed. Such conceptions also
contributed to the development of Nazi ideology.

These and other ideas were forged in the Nazi use of the term "Aryan race" to
name what they conceived as a race of lords of northern European origins, taking
the concept as far as eliminating children with mental problems in order to
maintain their purity. under Hitler 's T-4 Euthanasia program . This use of the
term has almost no meaning outside of Nazi or neo-Nazi ideologies.

[ writes ] The Aryan race and genetics

Modern-day physical anthropologists who believe in the existence of an ancient

Aryan race tend to be of the opinion that they were genetically linked to the R
haplogroup of the Y chromosome, which is currently found most frequently in
the Ayrs (Lake Karakul, Tajik Pamir ), the kalashas and the burushos (northern
Pakistan).

That is, if the Aryans existed, they were Caucasians of the pre-Muslim imperial
Persian type, but never of the Nordic type (belonging to haplogroup I), which are
more genetically related to the Semitic lineages (belonging to haplogroup J) than
to the Aryan lineages.

The Nazi connection with Shambala and Tibet

Introduction
Many high-ranking members of the Nazi regime, including Hitler, but especially
Himmler and Hess, held convoluted occult beliefs. Motivated by such beliefs, the
Germans sent an expedition to Tibet between 1938 and 1939 at the invitation of the
Tibetan government to attend the Losar (New Year) celebrations.

Tibet had long suffered from annexation attempts by China and the British failure
to prevent aggression or protect Tibet. Under Stalin, the Soviet Union fiercely
persecuted Buddhism, specifically its Tibetan form, which was practiced within its
borders, and in its neighboring country, the Mongolian People's Republic (Outer
Mongolia). In return, Japan supported Tibetan Buddhism in Inner Mongolia,
which it had annexed as part of Manchukuo, its “straw state” in Manchuria. The
Imperial Government, by proclaiming Japan to be Shambhala, was attempting to
gain the support of the Mongols under its rule to invade Outer Mongolia and
Siberia and thus create a pan-Mongol confederation under Japanese protection.

The Tibetan government, in view of the unstable regional situation, was exploring
the possibility of also obtaining protection from Japan. Germany and Japan had
signed a pact against the international communist organization in 1936, thus
declaring their mutual hostility toward the spread of international communism.
The invitation for the visit of an official delegation from Nazi Germany was made in
this context. In August 1939, shortly after the German expedition to Tibet, Hitler
broke his agreement with Japan and signed the Nazi-Soviet Pact. In September, the
Soviets defeated the Japanese who had invaded Outer Mongolia in May.
Subsequently, nothing of this contact between the Tibetan government with the
Japanese and the Germans came to fruition.

Several postwar occult writers have claimed that Buddhism and the legend of
Shambala played an important role in official German-Tibetan contact. Let us
examine this question.

The myths of Thule and vril

The first element of Nazi occult beliefs came from the mythical land of Hyperborea-
Thule. Just as Plato had cited the Egyptian legend of the sunken island of Atlantis,
Herodotus mentioned the Egyptian legend of the continent of Hyperborea in the
far north. When ice destroyed this remote land, its people migrated south. Writing
in 1679, the Swedish author Olaf Rubbeck identified the Atlanteans with the
Hyperboreans and placed the latter at the North Pole. According to various
accounts, Hyperborea was divided into the islands of Thule and Ultima Thule,
which some people identify with Iceland and Greenland.

The second ingredient was the idea of a hollow earth. In the late 17th century,
British astronomer Sir Edmund Halley first suggested the idea that the Earth was
hollow, consisting of four concentric spheres. The Hollow Earth theory fired many
people's imaginations, especially with the publication of French novelist Jules
Verne's book, Journey to the Center of the Earth , in 1864.

Shortly after, the concept of Vril appeared. In 1871, British novelist Edward
Bulwer-Lytton, in The Coming Race , described a superior race, the vril-ya, who
lived underground and planned to conquer the world with vril, a psychokinetic
energy. The French author Louis Jacolliot promoted the myth in Les fils de Dieu (
The Children of God ) (1873) and in Les Traditions indo-européenes ( The Indo-
European Traditions ) (1876). In these books, he linked the vril with the
underground town of Thule. The inhabitants of Thule would harness the power of
vril to become supermen and dominate the world.

The German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) also emphasized the

concept of the Übermensch (superman) and began his final work, Der Antichrist
(1895) with the line, “Let us see ourselves as what we are. We are hyperboreans. We
know very well how apart we live.” Although Nietzsche never mentioned the vril, in
the posthumous publication of his collection of aphorisms, Der Wille zur Macht (
The Will to Power ), he emphasized the role of an internal force for superhuman
development. He wrote that “the pack,” referring to ordinary people, seeks security
within itself by creating rules, morality and laws, while supermen have an internal
life force that drives them to go beyond the pack. That force demands and leads
them to lie to the pack in order to remain independent and free from the “pack
mentality.”

In the years before and during World War I, Guido von List, Jorg Lanz von
Liebenfels, and Phillip Stauff popularized Ariosophy. This movement blended the
race concept of Theosophy with German nationalism to assert the superiority of the
Aryan race as the basis for German conquest of the global colonial empires of the
British and French as the legitimate ruler of the inferior races. However, it should
be noted that the theosophical movement never proposed its teachings about races
as a justification for affirming the superiority of one race over another nor did it
foresee allocating the right to any of them to govern the others.

In The Arctic Home of the Vedas ( 1903), the ancient Indian freedom fighter Bal
Gangadhar Tilak added a further detail by identifying the southern migration of the
people of Thule with the origin of the Aryan race, such that many Germans at the
beginning of the 20th century believed they were descendants of the Aryans who
had migrated south from Hyperborea-Thule and who were destined to become the
supreme race of supermen through the power of vril; Hitler was among them.
The Thule Society and the founding of the Nazi party
Felix Niedner, the German translator of the Old Norse Eddas , founded the Thule
Society in 1910. In 1918, Rudolf Freiherr von Sebottendorf established a branch in
Munich. Sebottendorf had lived in Istanbul for several years, where he formed a
secret society in 1910, which combined esoteric Sufism and Freemasonry. It was
based on the creed of “assassins” (politically motivated assassins) derived from the
Nasrid sect of Islamic Ismailism, which had flourished during the Crusades. During
his residence in Istanbul, Sebottendorf was undoubtedly familiar with the pan-
Turanian Young Turk movement, started in 1909, which was implicated in the
Armenian genocide of 1915-1916. Türkiye and Germany were allies during World
War I. Once back in Germany, Sebottendorf was also a member of the Germanic
Order (Order of Teutons), founded in 1912 as a right-wing society with a secret
anti-Semitic lodge in the spirit of the Ariosophy movement. Through these
channels, Aryan superiority, racism, anti-Semitism, politically motivated murders,
and genocide became part of the Thule Society's creed. Anti-communism was
added after the Bavarian Communist Revolution in 1918, when the Thule Society of
Munich became the center of the counter-revolutionary movement.

In 1919, this Society created the German Workers' Party. Late that year, Dietrich
Eckart, a core member of the Thule Society, supposedly initiated Hitler into the
Society and began training him in its methods of harnessing vril to create an Aryan
race of supermen. Hitler had a mystical mind from his youth, since he studied
occultism and theosophy in Vienna. Hitler later dedicated Mein Kampf to Eckart.
In 1920, Hitler became the leader of the German Workers' Party, now renamed the
National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazi).

Haushofer, the Vril Society and geopolitics

Karl Haushofer (1869-1946), a German military advisor to the Japanese following
the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905, was another important influence on Hitler's
thinking. There is a widespread belief that he was responsible for the subsequent
Germany-Japan alliance due to the extreme impression he had on Japanese
culture. He also showed great interest in Indian and Tibetan cultures, learned
Sanskrit, and claimed to have visited Tibet.

After serving as a general in World War I, Haushofer founded the Vril Society in
Berlin in 1918, which shared the same basic beliefs as the Thule Society and some
say was its nucleus. The Society sought contact with supernatural beings
underground to obtain the power of vril from them. He also affirmed the Central
Asian origin of the Aryan race. Haushofer developed the doctrine of geopolitics
and, in the early 1920s, became director of the Institute of Geopolitics at the
Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munich. Geopolitics defended the conquest of
territory to obtain greater living space (in German Lebensraum ) as a means of
acquiring power.
Rudolf Hess was one of Haushofer's closest students and introduced him to Hitler
in 1923, while the latter was in prison for his failed "Putsch" (coup d'état). After
that Haushofer often visited the future Führer, to teach him geopolitics in relation
to the ideas of the Thule and Vril Societies. Thus, when Hitler became chancellor in
1933, he adopted geopolitics as his direction for the racialized conquest of Eastern
Europe, Russia and Central Asia. The key to success would be to find the ancestors
of the Aryan race, the keepers of the secrets of vril, in Central Asia.

The swastika
The swastika is an ancient Indian symbol of unchanging good luck, coming from
the Sanskrit word svastika , meaning well-being or good luck. Used by Hindus,
Buddhists and Jains for thousands of years, it also became widespread in Tibet.

The swastika has also appeared in most of the world's ancient cultures. For
example, the counterclockwise variant adopted by the Nazis is also the letter “G” in
medieval northern European runic writing. Freemasons took it as an important
symbol since “G” could mean “God,” the “Great Architect of the Universe,” or it
could also mean “Geometry.”

The swastika is also a traditional symbol of the ancient Norse god of thunder and
strength (the Scandinavian Thor, the German Donner, the Baltic Perkunas).
Because of this association with the God of Thunder, both Latvians and Finns took
the swastika as the insignia of their air forces when they gained independence after
World War I.

At the end of the 19th century, Guido von List adopted the swastika as an emblem
of the neo-pagan movement in Germany. The Germans however did not use the
Sanskrit word swastika, but called it “Hakenkreuz”, meaning “swastika”. It would
defeat and replace the cross, just as neo-paganism would defeat and replace
Christianity.

Sharing the anti-Christian sentiment of the neo-pagan movement, the Thule

Society also adopted the “Hakenkreuz” as part of its emblem and placed it within a
circle with a vertical German dagger superimposed on it. In 1920, following the
suggestion of Dr. Friedrich Krohn of the Thule Society, Hitler adopted the
“Hakenkreuz” within a white circle as the central design of the Nazi Party flag.
Hitler chose the red background to compete against the red flag of his rival, the
Communist Party.

French researchers Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier, in Le Matin des Magiciens
( The Morning of the Magicians ) (1962), wrote that Haushofer convinced Hitler to
use the “Hakenkreuz” as a symbol of the Nazi Party. They posit that this was due to
Haushofer's interest in Indian and Tibetan cultures. This conclusion is unlikely,
since Haushofer did not meet Hitler until 1923, while the Nazi flag first appeared in
1920. It is more likely that Haushofer used the widespread presence of the swastika
in India and Tibet as evidence to convince Hitler that this region was the place of
the ancestors of the Aryan race.

Nazi repression of rival occult groups

During the first half of the 1920s, a violent rivalry arose between occult societies
and secret lodges in Germany. In later years, Hitler continued the persecution of
Anthroposophists, Theosophists, Freemasons, and Rosicrucians. Several scholars
attribute this policy to Hitler's desire to eliminate any occult rivals to his
government.

Influenced by the works of Nietzsche and the beliefs of the Thule Society, Hitler
believed that Christianity was a flawed religion, infected by its roots in Jewish
thought. Hitler saw his teachings of forgiveness as the triumph of the weak, and
self-denial as anti-evolutionary, and perceived himself as a messiah to replace God
and Christ. Steiner had used the image of the antichrist and lucifer as future
spiritual leaders who would regenerate Christianity in a new, purer form. Hitler
went much further. He saw himself ridding the world of a degenerate system,
giving rise to a new step in evolution with the supreme Aryan race. He would not
tolerate any rival antichrist, either now or in the future. However, he tolerated
Buddhism.

[See: Erroneous foreign myths about Shambhala .]

Buddhism in Nazi Germany

In 1924, Paul Dahlke founded the Buddhistisches Haus (Buddhist House) in
Frohnau, Berlin. It was open to members of all Buddhist traditions, but primarily
catered to the Theravada and Japanese forms, as they were the most widely known
at the time. In 1933, it hosted the First European Buddhist Congress. The Nazis
allowed the House of Buddhists to remain open during the war, but they firmly
controlled it. As some members knew Chinese or Japanese, they served as
translators for the government in accordance with the tolerance towards
Buddhism.

Although the Nazi regime closed the Buddhistische Gemeinde (Buddhist Society) in
Berlin, which had been active since 1936, and briefly arrested its founder Martin
Steinke in 1941, they generally did not persecute Buddhists. Following his release,
Steinke and several others continued to lecture in Berlin on Buddhism. However,
there is no evidence of the presence of Tibetan Buddhist teachers in the Third
Reich.

The Nazi policy of tolerance towards Buddhism does not demonstrate any influence
of Buddhist teachings on Hitler or Nazi ideology. A more plausible explanation is
Germany's desire not to harm relations with Japan, its Buddhist ally.
The Ahnenerbe
Under Haushofer's influence, Hitler authorized Frederick Hielscher in 1935 to
found the Ahnenerbe (Office for the Study of Ancestral Heritage), with Colonel
Wolfram von Sievers as its director. Among other functions, Hitler commissioned
him to investigate German runes and the origin of the swastika, and to find the
origin of the Aryan race. Tibet was the most promising candidate.

Alexander Csoma de Körös (Körösi Csoma Sandor) (1784-1842) was a Hungarian

academic obsessed with the search for the origins of the Hungarian people. Based
on the linguistic affinities between Hungarian and the Turkic languages, he
believed that the origin of the Hungarian people was in “the land of the Yugurs
(Uighurs)” in East Turkistan (Xinjiang, Xinjiang). He believed that if he could
reach Lhasa, he would find there the key to locating his homeland.

Hungarian, Finnish, Turkic languages, Mongolian and Manchu belong to the Ural-
Altaic language family, also known as the Turanian family, from the Persian word
Turan for Turkistan. From 1909, the Turks had a pan-Turanian movement led by a
society known as the Young Turks. It was followed shortly after by the Hungarian
Turanian Society in 1910 and the Hungarian Turanian Alliance in 1920. Some
scholars believe that the Japanese and Korean languages also belong to the
Turanian family. Thus, the National Turanian Alliance was founded in Japan in
1921 and the Japanese Turanian Society in the early 1930s. Undoubtedly,
Haushofer was clear about the existence of these movements that sought the
origins of the Turanian race in Central Asia, their objectives fit well with the search
for the origins of the Aryan race in the same area, by the Thule Society. His interest
in Tibetan culture gave rise to the candidacy of Tibet as the key to finding a
common origin for the Aryan and Turanian races and to obtaining the power of the
vril that their spiritual leaders possessed.

Haushofer was not the only influence on the Ahnenerbe's interest in Tibet.
Hielscher was a friend of Sven Hedin, the Swedish explorer who had led
expeditions to Tibet in 1893, 1899-1902, and 1905-1908, and an expedition to
Mongolia in 1927-1930. Hedin, as a favorite friend of the Nazis, was invited by
Hitler to give the opening speech at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. He became involved
in pro-Nazi publishing activities in Sweden and carried out numerous diplomatic
visits to Germany between 1939 and 1943.

In 1937, Himmler made the Ahnenerbe an official organization attached to the SS

(from the German Schutzstaffel , Protection Squadron) and as the new director of
the Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munich, he appointed Professor Walther
Wüst, president of the Department of Sanskrit. The Ahnenerbe had a Tibet
Institute, which in 1943 was renamed the Sven Hedin Institut für Innerasien und
Expeditionen (Sven Hedin Institute for Inner Asia and Expeditions).
The Nazi expedition to Tibet
Ernst Schäffer, German hunter and biologist, participated in two expeditions to
Tibet, in 1931-1932 and in 1934-1936, for sport and zoological research. The
Ahnenerbe sponsored a third expedition (1938-1939) at the official invitation of the
Tibetan government. The visit coincided with the renewal of Tibetan contact with
Japan. A possible explanation for such an invitation is that the Tibetan government
wanted to maintain cordial relations with the Japanese and their German allies as a
counterweight to the British and Chinese. Thus, the Tibetan government welcomed
the German expedition at the 1939 New Year (Losar) celebration in Lhasa.

In Fest der weissen Schleier: Eine Forscherfahrt durch Tibet nach Lhasa, der
heiligen Stadt des Gottkönigtums (Festival of the White Gauze Handkerchiefs: A
Scientific Expedition through Tibet to Lhasa, the Sacred City of the Kingdom of
the God-King) (1950), Ernst Schäffer describes his experiences during the
expedition. During the celebrations, he reported that the oracle of Nechung warned
that although the Germans brought sweet gifts and words, Tibet should be cautious
because the German leader was like a dragon. Tsarong, the former pro-Japanese
military chief of Tibet, tried to soften the prediction. He said that the regent had
heard much more from the oracle, but was not authorized to divulge the details.
That the regent recited prayers daily so that there would be no war between the
British and the Germans, as this would also mean terrible consequences for Tibet.
Both countries had to understand that all good people need to pray for the same
objective. During the rest of Schäffer's stay in Lhasa, there were frequent meetings
with the regent in which affinity between them reigned.

The Germans were very interested in establishing friendly relations with Tibet.
However, their purposes were slightly different from that of the Tibetans. One of
the members of Schäffer's expedition was the anthropologist Bruno Beger, who was
responsible for the racial research. Having worked with HFKGünther on Die
nordische Rasse bei den Indogermanen Asiens ( The Nordic Race among the Indo-
Germans of Asia ), Beger subscribed to Günther's theory of a “Nordic race” in
Central Asia and Tibet. In 1937, he had proposed an Eastern Tibet research project
and, with the Schäffer expedition, planned to scientifically investigate the racial
characteristics of the Tibetan people. On his way to Tibet, Sikkim, and
subsequently Tibet, Beger measured the skulls of three hundred Tibetans and
Sikkimians and examined some of their other physical characteristics and body
markings. He concluded that the Tibetans occupied an intermediate position
between the Mongolian race and the European races, with the presence of the
European racial element showing itself primarily among the aristocracy.

According to what Richard Greve explains in "Tibetforschung in SS-Ahnenerbe

(Tibetan research in the SS-Ahnenerbe)" published in the edition of T.Hauschild
Lebenslust und Fremdenfurcht, Ethnologie im Dritten Reich ( Passion for life and
xenophobia, ethnology in the Third Reich ) (1995), Beger suggested that Tibetans
could play an important role after the final victory of the Third Reich. They could
serve as an allied race in a pan-Mongol confederation under the protection of
Germany and Japan. Although Beger also recommended that more in-depth
studies be carried out to measure all Tibetans, no further expeditions to Tibet were
undertaken.

Alleged occult expeditions to Tibet

Several postwar studies of Nazism and occultism, such as Trevor Ravenscroft's The
Spear of Destiny (1973), have claimed that under the influence of Haushofer and
the Thule Society, Germany sent annual expeditions to Tibet from 1926 to 1943.
Their mission was to first find and then maintain contact with the Aryan ancestors
in Shambala and Agarti, underground cities hidden under the Himalayas. Experts
on the subject served as guardians of secret occult powers, especially vril. The
missions sought their help to harness these powers in the creation of the supreme
Aryan race. According to these accounts, Shambala refused to provide any help, but
Agarti agreed to offer it. Later, from 1929, groups of Tibetans supposedly went to
Germany and founded lodges known as the Green Men's Society, in connection
with the Green Dragon Society in Japan, with the intermediation of Haushofer,
who supposedly helped the Nazi cause with his occult powers. Himmler was
attracted to these groups of Tibetan and Agartian experts and it is believed that
because of their influence he founded the Ahnenerbe in 1935.

In addition to the fact that Himmler did not found the Ahnenerbe, but incorporated
it into the SS in 1937, Ravenscroft's account contains other dubious claims. The
main one is Agarti's alleged support for the Nazi cause. In 1922, the Polish scientist
Ferdinand Ossendowski published Beasts, Men and Gods , in which he describes
his travels through Mongolia. In it he reported having heard about the
underground city of Agarti under the Gobi Desert. Its powerful inhabitants would
come to the surface, in the future, to save the world from disaster. The German
translation of Ossendowski's book, Tiere, Menschen und Götter , appeared in 1923
and became very popular. However, Sven Hedin published Ossendowski und die
Wahrheit ( Ossendowski and the Truth ) in 1925, in which he debunked the Polish
scientist's claims. He notes that Ossendowski had picked up Agarti's idea from
Saint-Yves d'Alveidre's 1886 novel Mission de l'Inde en Europe ( India's Mission to
Europe ) to make his story more attractive to German audiences. Since Hedin had
great influence in the Ahnenerbe, it is unlikely that this office sent an expedition
specifically to find Shambhala and Agarti and subsequently received help from the
latter.
