savitri devi

savitri devi mukherji -lrb- september 30 , 1905 -- october 22 , 1982 -rrb- was the pseudonym of the greek-french writer maximiani portas , a prominent proponent of animal rights , deep ecology and nazism , who served the axis cause during world war ii by spying on allied forces in india .
she wrote about animal rights movements and was a leading member of the nazi underground during the 1960s .
an admirer of german national socialism -lrb- nazism -rrb- , savitri devi was also an animal-rights activist who authored the book `` the impeachment of man '' in 1959 and was a proponent of hinduism and nazism , synthesizing the two , proclaiming adolf hitler to have been sent by providence , much like an avatar of the hindu god vishnu .
she believed hitler was a sacrifice for humanity which would lead to the end of the kali yuga induced by who she felt were the powers of evil , the jews .
her writings have influenced neo-nazism and nazi occultism .
among savitri devi 's ideas was the classifications of `` men above time '' , `` men in time '' and `` men against time '' .
rejecting judeo-christianity , she believed in a form of pantheistic monism ; a single cosmos of nature composed of divine energy-matter .
she is credited with pioneering neo-nazi interest in occultism , deep ecology and the new age movement .
she influenced the chilean diplomat miguel serrano .
in 1982 , franco freda published a german translation of her work `` gold in the furnace '' , and the fourth volume of his annual review , `` risguardo '' -lrb- 1980 -- -rrb- , was devoted to savitri devi as the `` missionary of aryan paganism '' .
savitri was an associate in the post-war years of françoise dior , otto skorzeny , johannes von leers , and hans-ulrich rudel .
she was also one of the founding members of the world union of national socialists .
