The fantastic of Eliedian Indic symbolism

Abstract

As a young man, Mircea Eliade believed that literature is based on direct experience and that writing means to a large extent to transcribe what you really experienced. As a follower of the aesthetics of authenticity, he perfectly understands the usefulness and spiritual force of a diary. At the base of his literary creation is an act of existence, an experience, which does not yet have an initiatory dimension. The idea of ​​initiation appears to him after the encounter with Indian spirituality. India taught Eliade what a traditional society means, it helped him understand to what degree of freedom the individual can reach with the help of mystical-magical techniques, but especially through yoga and tantra.
