Hauer’s German Faith stood on two legs: that of Hinduism, especially the Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, and Yoga; and that of Germanic thought, especially the Edda, Eckhart, and the writing of any “heretical” German philosophical and literary figures, particularly the Romantics. We also saw that Hauer’s conception of religion was layered: a universal experiential layer at the bottom, giving rise to culturally specific expressions on top.
