Sri Vinaya Datta “Devayana“ (“The Path of Gods“). Chapter I - “Introduction“

Sri Vinaya Datta (1898-March 21, 1977) was an Indian (Marathi) yogi, mystic and author. His teachings show a specific kind of religious Syncretism combining those aspects of Nordic, Hindu, Native-American and other religious traditions (eg. Gnosticism) as well as ancient and contemporary philosophy (eg. Neo-Platonic philosophy and Nietzschean philosophy) that are aimed at finding liberation from the influence of the Demiurge, whom he recognized as the driving force behind the mechanical, purely biological existence. He was the starter of the spiritual movement known as Devayana, or the Path of the True Gods. Among the practices he refered to are developing the Third-Eye vision and strengthening of Vril (spiritual energy that is the Other Light of the Black Sun, and is of rather transcendent than individual nature) via Kundalini Yoga all with an aim to achieve more and more steady ability for astral first then plasmic projections and liberation as the ultimate result. All this Wisdom was to be conveyed to people by the True Gods directly during Satya Yuga, or the Golden Age, but was lost due to the Demiurge impious activity. This is the introduction to the series of essays by Guru Datta.
