How is Guenon so based?

>>14813832
>first post shit post

>>14813821
If I want to get into Guenon do I start with his Introduction to the Study of Hindu doctrines or actually reading some of the Hindu texts? Which ones? Which translations?

>>14814082
You'll need to do all of them eventually. Guenon(pbuh) is best read in his native french.

>>14814136
Right, but what about the traditional hindu texts, like Bhagavad Gita, Kundalini, Ramayana, Kama Sutra, Upanishads, Puranas, Vedas, etc.
Should I be reading any of them before diving into Guenon's work? And which translations are the best for those?

>>14814136
Do you have any french learning recommendation?

I have very little background in philosophy, can I read Le Roi du Monde or should I start with something else in order to understand it better?

Very based thread, brothers.

>>14814082
It is preferable to have a Great Teacher like Guenon (pbuh) guide you through the Hindu texts first. Then you can read the Shankarian (pbuh) commentaries on them.
>>14814267
That is one of Yahya (pbuh)'s more mystical texts. It is recommended to read the first three books on the chart first. Other than that, there is no need to have studied profane philosophy to understand him (pbuh). On the contrary, that might be a great barrier to fully taking in his (pbuh) Pure Light.

>>14814183
The Guenonian (pbuh) Word itself.
It is the most sublime example of perfect French. Many even say that Guenon (pbuh) recodified the French language and united it to the Primoridal Tradition by writing such great works in it.

Brothers, concerning Guénon (pbuh), how would I receive a baptism into his Light if I live away from all other Guénonians?

Is Right Wing Dharma Squads the only /RG/ approved podcast?

>>14813821
I have achieved Guenosis by thoroughly studying the works of René Guénon (pbuh)

>>14815848
>>14816053
Do you do these photoshops yourself Guenonanon?

What's the deal with islamic/alternative book publishers in Western Europe publishing (on) Guenon in recent years? Isn't he a prime Orientalist

>>14816165
We Guenonians (pbuh) use the sacred technique at https://reflect.tech/ to see the underlying non-duality of Guenon (pbuh) with all the faces of this world.

Is the autist who found out a bunch of stuff about guenonfag by searching the archives here? I kind of want his help for another autistic schizophrenic spammer

What the hell is pbuh?

>>14816402
Peace be upon him. It's a Muslim thing for when they refer to Muhammad (pbuh)

>>14816053
Brother. I understand your worries and my heart cries... I will baptise you if I see you on the streets discussing his works. I myself have been baptised by a brother who has been initiated by Archangel Gabriel (pbuh), who came on the order of Guénon (pbuh) himself, telling the brother that he needs to immediately start spreading the Word in his region.

>>14816402
pbuh is Guenon's muslim name after he converted to islam

>>14816402

it means Poobah.

>>14816402
>>14816442
Why do people write pbuh after this guy's name? Like poobah? Was Guenon a poobah? Rene Poonon lmao. When you write René Guénon(pbuh), would you like poo with that bah lmao I mean Rene the poo bah lol. This guy full of poopoo?
Poononfag lmao!

Hey my dudes, wanna start a religion with Guenon as the Messiah? Think about it, just like the buddhists did with Gautama.

>>14816053
>>14816456
If Guenon (pbuh) took the name of Yahya the Forerunner (pbuh), who was the Forerunning for?
Brothers... I am afraid that our Saviour is already among us and we are blind to it...

>all this veneration of the great Sufi Saint Rene Guenon (pbuh)
holy based...

Why did Guénon advocate so hard for the White Man to become Buddhist or join some other shitskin religion?
Wasn't he himself white and thus should have wished better for his people?

What countries have the most Guenonians? I want to move to a place where I will not be persecuted for my faith.

>>14813821
>No shitposting, serious discussion only
>pbuh
You've lost before you began.

bros, is it known when Guenon realized his unity with Brahman?

Surprised you're still around, fag. Haven't been on in about a year and your threads have devolved in quality.
>>14816090
Considering Guenon hates Buddhism except through a special Hindu lense, nah.

>tfw Egyptian
Might visit his grave soon

>>14816894
Based. I'm even considering converting to Islam briefly just to pray at his grave.

>>14813821
Ok. I have a question for you. Guénon said that the salvation for the West is in the Catholic Church, which mantains the Tradition. So do we only have to convert anyone to the Catholic Church? Is that all?

>>14816894
holy based... please make a photo for the brothers here who lack the ability to visit the highly spiritual metaphysical Shrine of Guenon (pbuh)...

>>14816981
He actually meant the Catholic Orthodox Church in the East, the one that did not split away during the Great Schism. Rome does not bear any tradition right now, not even the one it previously had even a few hundred years ago.

>>14813821
Holy based... Brothers... I pray everyday that the Guénonian High Priesthood is established in Cairo so the brothers can go there to pray and to service Guénon (pbuh)...

>>14817045
Very based idea, brother.
Maybe we can infiltrate the Coptic Church and establish an esoteric order of John the Baptist (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) there?
This seems to be a good way to both worship Our Teacher ﷺ and to avoid great persecution.
All we need to do is get a brother ordained as a Bishop to give us Traditional Initiatic legitimacy.

if Guenon refuted everything, does that include my own consciousness? How could this be? If 'I' does not exist, then what/who is doing the inference?

>>14816844
yes, when his body is rotting underground and eaten by worms
a well-suited fate for a monkey

>>14817045
>>14817098
Based... We will not be persecuted any further, brothers. We will establish a Temple for proper worship of our Teacher (pbuh).

>>14817535
>then what/who is doing the inference
Brahman/Atman is who refutes, brother. He alone allows one to perform the retroactive refutation.

>>14817541
Cringe. Seething hylic.
Please leave us worshipers alone and do not speak such things in this Holy Temple of Guenon (pbuh).

what did people think of the Guenonisekai?

>>14818442
cringe and yikespilled

>>14818442
Very based.
It is truly an initiatic text one has to ponder upon with the Heart's Eye.
(pbuh)...

based...

>>14818448
did you actually read it?

>>14818486
pbuh too brother

>>14819577
Nobody here reads anything. This thread is 99% ironic.

>>14819842
idk man someone clearly put some work into this "magazine" kek

mfw guenonposter is a shill for Sophia Perennis (guenons publisher)

>>14813821
Based!

>>14813821
Why exactly did he convert to Islam? The Wikipedia article on him indicates that he had a personal passion for Orientalism, but he couldn't bring himself to convert to Hinduism because it was too foreign for his western sensibilities, so he went with Islam because it was still in some sense "of the East" but more applicable. Is this base Orientalism for Orientalism's own sake really his sole reason for converting?

I fell for the meme and bought this, what am I in for?

>>14821549
un bien libro

so last night i came back home to find my wife fucking my neighbor
my blood was gushing through my vein but i know i dont exist so i am not angry
my face was really red and i was about to drop and cry but i know i dont exist
they keep telling me they are sorry and that they will move to his home in another state
i dont exist, i dont exist i dont exist bros, tell me they are wrong i am not angry at all!

>>14822344
Think of nothing but Guenon brother. Let his long morose face calm your rage and libido and let his complacent cow-like eyes show you the way to the primordial tradition.

Can I get a quick rundown on why everyone is ironically worshipping this guy?

>>14822617
Because he saved us from complete destruction by modernity.
We owe our lives to this great Saint (pbuh) for retroactively refuting and fixing this broken world.

How tf to get involved with Islamic religious hierarchy? Must become next grand imam plz.

>>14822968
do all sunnis look up to the grand imam or is it just a egyptian thing?

>>14813821
What's the best entry level book by Guenon to start with?

>>14823142
Introduction to the Study of the Hindu Doctrines. Read about the first 100 pages to understand the Guénonian non-profane outlook on the world, read the rest if you are interested in what it presents. Then read Crisis of the Modern World for his retroactive refutation of modernity.

>>14823165
Thanks you are kind

>Due to this spiritual journey and mental chaos, he left the university even though his education was incomplete. This state of affairs lasted up to 1909. In the meantime, he met two 'Reverts to Islam' who were not only well acquainted with Islam, but also competent in sociology.

>The first of these two scholars was Sheikh Abdul Haq, formerly Schamrino of French origin. He was a scholar of repute and edited a magazine namely 'Al-Tareeq". The Christian name was Iavon Gustav. After his reversion to Islam, he learned Arabic and had full command over it. He used to contribute articles to 'Ansari' magazine which was being published from Egypt.

>In 1909, Rene Guenon started a magazine entitled "Al-Maarifat" (Knowledge of God) with the collaboration of these scholars. Discussions, discourses and critical articles relating to comparative study of different religions were published in this comparative study of different religions were published in this journal, which covered Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

>This journal remained active for about four years and ceased publication in 1912, the year in which Rene Guenon entered the fold of Islam. He took the Islamic name Abdul Wahid Yahya. His 'Reversion to Islam' was the result of his own continuous search for Truth coupled with the cooperation and guidance of Sheikh Abdul Haq and Sheikh Abdur Rahman Elish El-Kebir (El-Alim El-Maliki School of Thought in Egypt), a mystic and competent in Islamic Jurisprudence. As a token of respect, Rene Guenon dedicated his book: "Symbolism of the Cross" to the venerated memory of Sheikh Abudur Rahman who gave him the first idea of the book.
