Biography

Early years

Born Miguel Joaquín Diego del Carmen Serrano Fernández in Santiago de Chile. Educated at the Internado Nacional Barros Arana from 1929 to 1934. Originally embracing Marxism and writing for left-wing journals, he became disillusioned with Communism and was drawn to the Movimiento Nacional Socialista de Chile (M.N.S.), a Chilean Nazi Party (headed by Jorge González von Mareés). In July of 1939 he publicly associated himself with the M.N.S. (then renamed Vanguardia Popular Socialista), writing for its journal Trabajo ("Work").

After the German invasion of the Soviet Union, in July of 1941, Serrano began his own fortnightly political and literary review called La Nueva Edad ("The New Age"). Originally unattached to anti-Semitism, Serrano discovered, and began publishing material from, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion in early November 1941.

In late 1941, Serrano was introduced to a Chilean esoteric order that practiced ritual magic, tantric and kundalini yoga linked to Nietzschean concepts of the will to power and fascist activism. He was initiated into the order in February 1942. The order's master, "F.K." (a German immigrant to Chile), described Hitler as initiate, a boddhisatva who had voluntarily incarnated on earth in order to overcome the Kali Yuga; he claimed to have been in astral contact with Hitler.

While in India, Serrano immersed himself in its spiritual heritage. He sought out the secret Brahmanical order of his Chilean master in the Himalayas, but Mount Kailas (where it had its seat) was inaccessible in Chinese-administered Tibet. He met many leading personalities and became personal friends with Nehru, Indira Gandhi, and the Dalai Lama of Tibet.
