WHAT IS HINDUISM?
Marxism into crude capitalist materialism by the current,
post-Maoist rulers of China.
Tibetan and Asian Buddhism and Tantrism were born
from the womb of India’s Vedic-Brahmanic culture. The
chief question raised by the work of the Trimundis is
whether this birth, like that of a distorted Christianity from
Judaism, was, if not as a whole, then at least in part – a
deformed birth – a misogynistic miscarriage or abortion. If so
- and given the current Western ‘fashion’ for Buddhism
and the consumerisation of diluted Buddhist ‘meditation’ as
a palliative to the ‘stresses’ of capitalism – then the
challenging task is of giving birth from Indian thought to a
new ‘Buddhism’. By this I mean a trans-Buddhist and
authentically revolutionary form of global tantric religiosity
and theocracy – not ‘Buddhism’ as we know it but a new
‘Tantrism’ beyond Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism –
remains the challenge of the day. It is this challenge that
‘The New Yoga’ is a response to. In this connection, and in
the context of the title of this work, it is notable that in the
Kalachakra Tantra – in essence the esoteric grand plan of
Buddhist Tantrism to subvert and overcome the global
theo-politics of the non-Dharmic or Abrahamic religions –
a key role is played by a wisdom being called the Rudra
Chakrin^2. ‘Chakrin’ means ‘wheel-turner’ and is thus a
direct synonym of ‘revolutionary’. Given that Shiva is
associated with the destructive Vedic god Rudra, the term
Rudra Chakrin is interpreted as wrathful ‘wheel turner’ or
