<strong>The</strong> Chilean did not yet know about the SS past of Heinrich Harrer, the Kundun’s “best friend” and<br />

teacher, since this first bec<strong>am</strong>e known in 1997 in connection with the film Seven Years in Tibet. But<br />

we can be certain that this fact would have been cited by him as further evidence to justify an occult<br />

connection between Sh<strong>am</strong>bhala and the SS, between the <strong>Dalai</strong> L<strong>am</strong>a and Adolf Hitler, particularly as<br />

the Chilean indicates at many points in his writings that the SS sent “secret missions” to Tibet in order<br />

to search for traces of the Aryan race there.<br />

Serrano allows himself to be celebrated as the “Führer” of the National Socialist Party of Chile. His<br />

calendar commences with the year of Adolf Hitler’s birth in 1889. He describes “esoteric Hitlerism”<br />

as the “new religion of the young heroes and future warriors and priests, the true myth of the coming<br />

century” (Cedade, 1986). In 1989, on the 100th anniversary of Hitler’s birth (the year 100 for<br />

Serrano) a commemorative celebration was staged at which the Chilean and representatives of<br />

“esoteric Hitlerism” from various countries (Chile, Spain, Italy, Germany) spoke: “On the peak of a<br />

mountain in the Andes ranges which dominates Santiago,” the Chilean newspaper, La Epoca, writes,<br />

“and to the sounds of the Ride of the Valkyrie from Wagner’s <strong>De</strong>r Ring des Nibelungen (<strong>The</strong> Ring of<br />

the Nibelung), some 100 Chilean followers and foreigners commemorated Adolf Hitler in yesterday’s<br />

evening twilight and promised that in the new Hitlerist age the continuing triumph of his ideas would<br />

proceed from Chile. ... Hitler, Serrano opined, would be resurrected from in the Andes ('Andes' means<br />

'perfected, total human) and he would do like the Caleuche [a mystic hero of Chile, whose n<strong>am</strong>e<br />

means 'the man who returns’) and introduce the age of Hitler” (Epoca, April 21, 1989). This event<br />

should not be underestimated on the basis of the small number of participants. For Serrano it had a<br />

ritual/symbolic significance and was reported in detail in the German neo-Nazi scene, for ex<strong>am</strong>ple.<br />

In fascist circles worldwide, Serrano is a “hot tip” and his bizarre visions do in fact exercise a<br />

fascinating attraction on many young people. His nazi books are openly offered for sale in all South<br />

American countries. <strong>The</strong> German translation of Cordón Dorado Hitlerismo Esoterico is available as a<br />

hardback (Das goldene Band — esoterischer Hitlerismus). Highly sought after copies of the other<br />

works (about Hitlerism) in German translation and individual propaganda essays are in circulation<br />

and passed from hand to hand. “Serrano’s mystical neo-Nazism … [has] a distinct appeal to the<br />

younger generation”, writes the historian Goodrick Clark, “Here Nazism becomes a pop mythology,<br />

severed from the historic context of the Third Reich. <strong>The</strong> Gnostic Cathars, Rosicrucian mysteries,<br />

Hindu Avatars, and extraterrestrial gods add a sensational and occult appeal to powerful myths of<br />

elitism, planetary destiny, and the cosmic conspiracy of the Jews that culminate in a global racist<br />

ideology of white supremacism. … Books by Serrano … are now circulating <strong>am</strong>ong neo-pagans,<br />

Satanists, skinheads, and Nazi metal music fans in the United States, Scandinavia, and Western<br />

Europe” (Goodrick Clark, 1998, pp. 221-222). <strong>The</strong> <strong>Dalai</strong> L<strong>am</strong>a has never distanced himself from<br />

Serrano. Instead of decisively opposing fascism in any country, he recently called for the former<br />

Chilean State President and fascist, Augusto Pinochet, to be spared a trial.<br />

In the following chapter, we shall introduce a further case where Tantric Buddhism, the Sh<strong>am</strong>bhala<br />

myth, and the <strong>Dalai</strong> L<strong>am</strong>a have acted as godfather to a modern, extremely radical and aggressive form<br />

of fascism. A case which shook the world community — we mean the story of the Japanese doomsday<br />

guru, Shoko Asahara.<br />
