Rene Guenon (1863 words)
Guenon was not one to destroy the edifices of a belief or doctrine without also expounding the real teaching of which it is a distortion or corruption.
Guenon saw that within the Kali Yuga these teachings were becoming debased and that these traditions were loosing their link to the perennial wisdom, as such they were becoming atrophied and even, in some cases, becoming “counter traditions”.
Guenon’s denouncements of these movements were venomous and without pity, he believed it was imperative to shine the light of wisdom on paths which were leading humanity towards destruction rather than illumination.
