In addition, the Sh<strong>am</strong>bhala myth integrated into the Kalachakra Tantra has – insofar as it has been<br />

accorded historical and ideological relevance – led to extremely aggressive behavior patterns,<br />

megalomaniac visions, conspiracy theories and terrorist activity. But above all it exercises a special<br />

fascination for neo-fascist circles and provides a source of ideological inspiration for them.<br />

In the wars between Byelorussians, Bolsheviks and Mongolians, the Sh<strong>am</strong>bhala myth<br />

was associated with ideas of the return of Genghis Khan at the beginning of the twenties.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Mongolians saw themselves in this conflict as "Sh<strong>am</strong>bhala warriors". <strong>The</strong>ir<br />

military actions were extremely bloodthirsty.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Italian fascist and right-wing extremist philosopher of culture, Julius Evola, saw in<br />

the mythic realm of Sh<strong>am</strong>bhala the esoteric center of a sacred warrior caste and<br />

suspected that the palace of the world king, whose escutcheon was the swastika, could be<br />

found there. He held lectures on these views for the the SS “Ahnenerbe”.<br />

In the occult literature (the "Nazi mysteries”), "masters" from Sh<strong>am</strong>bhala are depicted<br />

as the hidden string pullers who are supposed to have participated in the "magical"<br />

creation of the Nazi regime (Trevor Ravenscroft, Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier u.<br />

a.).<br />

In the ideological SS underground of the post-War period and in the "SS mysticism" of<br />

the nineties, the mythical kingdom of Sh<strong>am</strong>bhala is seen as a sanctuary for an aggressive<br />

and morbid "Nazi religion" (Wilhelm Landig, Jan van Helsing u. a.).<br />

<strong>The</strong> Sh<strong>am</strong>bhala myth is one of the ideological pillars of "esoteric Hitlerism". This is the<br />

worldwide, racist, occult doctrine of the Chilean diplomat, Miguel Serrano, and the<br />

Indian by adoption, Savitri <strong>De</strong>vi ("Hitler’s Priestess")<br />

With his concept of the Sh<strong>am</strong>bhala warrior, the now deceased Tibetan L<strong>am</strong>a, Chögy<strong>am</strong><br />

Trungpa (1940-1987), laid the first foundations for a potential "Combative Buddhism",<br />

already found in large parts of East Asia, in the West. Instead of monasteries, Trungpa’s<br />

Sh<strong>am</strong>bhala warriors live in military c<strong>am</strong>ps, meditation is accompanied by military<br />

parades, in place of the begging bowl his pupils carry weapons and rather than monastic<br />

robes they wear military uniforms. <strong>The</strong> master himself no longer moved around in<br />

Buddhist style, with yellow and red monastic robe and walking staff and sandals, but<br />

rather rode forth on a white horse (in accordance with the apocalyptic prophecy of the<br />

Kalachakra Tantra) in peaked cap, tunic and high boots. <strong>The</strong> Sh<strong>am</strong>bhala coat of arms<br />

can be seen on the saddle of a horse in a photo of the martial Trungpa.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Sh<strong>am</strong>bhala Myth provides the ideological basis for the terrorism of the Japanese<br />

apocalyptic guru, Shoko Asahara. He derives his apocalyptic visions from the teachings<br />

of the Kalachakra Tantra. His intention is to accelerate the onset of the Sh<strong>am</strong>bhala war<br />

and this is his justification for his poison-gas attacks on the Tokyo Underground.<br />

Asahara was the first leader of a sect to make the "uninvolved " from outside of his own<br />

organization the target of his deadly attacks and thus opened the floodgates for the<br />

religiously motivated international terrorism that has become the number one topic in<br />

the world community.
