Biography
Early years
Born Miguel Joaquín Diego del Carmen Serrano Fernández in Santiago de Chile. Educated at the Internado Nacional Barros Arana from 1929 to 1934. Originally embracing Marxism and writing for left-wing journals, he became disillusioned with Communism and was drawn to the Movimiento Nacional Socialista de Chile (M.N.S.), a Chilean Nazi Party (headed by Jorge González von Mareés). In July of 1939 he publicly associated himself with the M.N.S. (then renamed Vanguardia Popular Socialista), writing for its journal Trabajo ("Work").
After the German invasion of the Soviet Union, in July of 1941, Serrano began his own fortnightly political and literary review called La Nueva Edad ("The New Age"). Originally unattached to anti-Semitism, Serrano discovered, and began publishing material from, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion in early November 1941.
In late 1941, Serrano was introduced to a Chilean esoteric order that practiced ritual magic, tantric and kundalini yoga linked to Nietzschean concepts of the will to power and fascist activism. He was initiated into the order in February 1942. The order's master, "F.K." (a German immigrant to Chile), described Hitler as initiate, a boddhisatva who had voluntarily incarnated on earth in order to overcome the Kali Yuga; he claimed to have been in astral contact with Hitler.
Serrano accompanied the Chilean Army and Navy on their expedition to Antarctica in 1947-48 as a journalist. He made his first visit to Europe in 1951. In Switzerland, he met and befriended Herman Hesse and Carl Jung.
Diplomatic work
In 1953, following a family tradition, Serrano entered the diplomatic corps and held various ambassadorial posts for Chile during the Ibáñez, Alessandri and Frei administrations from 1953 to 1970, in the countries of India (1953-62), Yugoslavia (1962-64), Romania, Bulgaria, and Austria (1964-70).
While in India, Serrano immersed himself in its spiritual heritage. He sought out the secret Brahmanical order of his Chilean master in the Himalayas, but Mount Kailas (where it had its seat) was inaccessible in Chinese-administered Tibet. He met many leading personalities and became personal friends with Nehru, Indira Gandhi, and the Dalai Lama of Tibet.
Serrano was Chile's representative to the International Atomic Energy Commission and United Nations Organisation for Industrial Development (UNUDI). He was dismissed from the Chilean diplomatic service, in late 1970, by Salvador Allende. Remaining in exile, he rented an apartment (previously inhabited by Hermann Hesse) at Montagnola in the Swiss Ticino.
While ambassador in Vienna and subsequently in Switzerland, Serrano contacted and cultivated ties of friendship with Léon Degrelle, Otto Skorzeny, Hans-Ulrich Rudel, Saint-Loup, and Hanna Reitsch. He paid visits to Julius Evola, Herman Wirth, Wilhelm Landig and Ezra Pound.
In 1973, Serrano returned to Chile.
Esoteric Hitlerist
Serrano defines himself as an Esoteric Hitlerist, which he has defined as a new religious faith, "able to change the materialistic man of today into a new idealistic hero" and "much more than a religion: it is a way to transmute a hero into God."
In 1984, Ediciones la Nueva Edad in Santiago, Chile published his, 643 page tome, Adolf Hitler, el último avatãra (Adolf Hitler: The Ultimate Avatar).
At the Santiago funeral of SS Colonel Walter Rauff, in May 1984, Serrano gave the Hitler salute. He convened a rally, in Santiago on 5 September 1993, in honor of Rudolf Hess and in memory of the Chilean Nazi martyrs of 1938. He maintains correspondence with neo-Nazi leaders, such as Matt Koehl. An interview with him was featured in the literature of the Black Order.
