Savitri Devi Mukherji (September 30, 1905 – October 22, 1982) was the pseudonym of the Greek-French writer Maximiani Portas, a prominent proponent of animal rights, deep ecology〔Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke (1998). ''Hitler's Priestess: Savitri Devi, the Hindu-Aryan Myth, and Neo-Nazism''. NY: New York University Press, ISBN 0-8147-3110-4〕 and Nazism, who served the Axis cause during World War II by spying on Allied forces in India.〔〔 She wrote about animal rights movements and was a leading member of the Nazi underground during the 1960s.〔〔("Politics and the Occult: The Left, the Right, and the Radically Unseen" ), Gary Lachman. Quest Books, 2008. ISBN 0-8356-0857-3, ISBN 978-0-8356-0857-2. p. 257〕〔 Savitri Devi was also an animal-rights activist who authored the book ''The Impeachment of Man'' in 1959〔("The new encyclopedia of the occult" ), John Michael Greer. Llewellyn Worldwide, 2003. ISBN 1-56718-336-0, ISBN 978-1-56718-336-8. p. 130-131〕 and was a proponent of Hinduism and Nazism, synthesizing the two, proclaiming Adolf Hitler to have been sent by Providence, much like an avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu. She believed Hitler was a sacrifice for humanity which would lead to the end of the Kali Yuga induced by who she felt were the powers of evil, the Jews.〔 Her writings have influenced neo-Nazism and Nazi occultism. Among Savitri Devi's ideas was the classifications of "men above time", "men in time" and "men against time".〔("Gods of the blood: the pagan revival and white separatism" ), Mattias Gardell. Duke University Press, 2003. ISBN 0-8223-3071-7, ISBN 978-0-8223-3071-4. p. 183〕 Rejecting Judeo-Christianity, she believed in a form of pantheistic monism; a single cosmos of nature composed of divine energy-matter.〔("Christ, Faith, and the Holocaust" ), Richard Terrell. WestBow Press, 2011. ISBN 1-4497-0912-5, ISBN 978-1-4497-0912-9. p. 70-71〕〔("The Hunt for the God particle" ), Popular Science, November 2001, Vol. 259, No. 5. ISSN 0161-7370. p. 55〕 She is credited with pioneering neo-Nazi interest in occultism, deep ecology and the New Age movement. She influenced the Chilean diplomat Miguel Serrano. In 1982, Franco Freda published a German translation of her work ''Gold in the Furnace'', and the fourth volume of his annual review, ''Risguardo'' (1980–), was devoted to Savitri Devi as the "missionary of Aryan Paganism".〔("Hitler's Priestess: Savitri Devi, the Hindu-Aryan Myth, and Neo-Nazism" ), Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke.

Maximine Portas was born two and a half months premature, weighing only 930 grams (2.05 lbs), and was not at first expected to live. She formed her political views early. From childhood and throughout her life, she was a passionate advocate for animal rights. Her earliest political affiliations were with Greek nationalism.〔 Portas studied philosophy and chemistry, earning two Masters Degrees and a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Lyon.〔 She next traveled to Greece, and surveyed the legendary ruins. Here, she became familiar with Heinrich Schliemann's discovery of swastikas in Anatolia. Her conclusion was that Ancient Greeks were Aryan in origin. Her first two books were her doctoral dissertations: ''Essai-critique sur Théophile Kaïris'' (''Critical Essay on Theophilius Kaïris'') (Lyon: Maximine Portas, 1935) and ''La simplicité mathématique'' (''Mathematical Simplicity'') (Lyon: Maximine Portas, 1935). Sometime between 1932 and 1935, she was the French tutor of the philosopher Cornelius Castoriadis (1922–1997), as he revealed in a radio interview by Katherine von Bulow (France Culture – 20/4/96).〔("Savitri Devi: The woman against time" ), R.G.
