For a man who denounces the modern world for its "matriarchal lunar"
character and whose entire 'hermeneutics' is based on the notion of
Aryan solarity, I find Evola's fascination with Tantrism quite
strange. The austere Indo-Europeans who invaded India had nothing to
do with this type of debasing philosophy. All Indological scholars
agree Tantrism represents a re-emergence of the subdued pre-Aryan
civilization of the negroidal Dravidians resident in the south of
India. The conquering Europids called these negroidal phallus-
worshippers DASA. The Indo-Aryan Vedic culture thought these DASA
were "riteless" and "slavish", and accordingly treated them with
total contempt, mercilessly enslaving them, resulting in their
present status as SHUDRAS, or laborers. The Dravidian philosophy and
its barbaric Shiva cultus can be read about in the Mahanirvana Tantra,
and other Tantrik texts.
Could anyone explain Evola's rationale in allowing Tantrik ideas to
play an important role in his philosophical economy?
