The worldview presented in this work is based firmly on Hindu metaphysics, with its various aspects of supernatural reality, but extends beyond pure metaphysics to incorporate the European "weltanschauung" and its foundation of Western scientific philosophy. Hence, the Arya Kriya system and its principles are not simply a matter of faith, but rather a scientific approach to spiritual development. Where traditional Kriya yoga represents a path to spiritual enlightenment, Arya Kriya consists of ancient scientific principles intended to accelerate human evolution on both the physical and spiritual levels. Jost Turner was the founder of the NS Kindred and the Volksberg commune, whose syncretic philosophy blended science and eastern mysticism with right-wing politics and the "back to the land" movement. Best known for his Arya Kriya system of esoteric yoga, Jost was also a tireless advocate for peace and solidarity among those of European descent.
