Tantrism and terrorism




Two old articles from India Today (from 1977 and 1982) dealing with the controversial new religious movement Ananda Marga (which still exists). I admit that the brew of Tantrism, terrorism, anti-Marxism and anti-capitalism is an intriguing one. Including the inevitable rituals featuring human skulls...

I also appended a short piece from The Indian Express, "updated 2014".

The notorious Hilton bombing in Australia is hardly mentioned, though.

Ananda Marga: Spiritual saviors or tantrik terrorists?
