Interesting fact: Another evil genius that was an enthusiast of the Oriental mysticism was was Adolf Hitler. The Swastika which he turned into the symbol of his ideology is in fact an ancient symbol, which in hiduisim meant the evolution of the universe (or in its mirror version, the involution of it). It symbolizes the two forms of creator god Brahma and is one of the 108 sighs of the god Wishnu. In buddhism, it's the symbol of eternity. Swastika was stamped onto the chest of Gautama Buddha by his students after his death. Another offspring of Hitler's fascinations was Vril. The group - which was the first to use the swastika as its symbol - searched through Hindu and Tibetan monasteries for ancient lore and a passage to the mythical land of Shrangri-La. They also tried to build a machine for time-space travel, which they believed would let them talk to God.
