The modern New Age has its origin in spiritism and the communication with spirit beings. As the Bible teaches that the dead are in a state of unconsciousness, these spirit beings cannot be human. They therefore must be demonic forces masquerading as human spirits.
The Bible teaches that in the last days, people will be studying the doctrines of devils, and we should have no dealings with demonic forces:
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils (1 Timothy 4:1).
But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of devils: you cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table and of a table of devils (1 Corinthians 10:20-21).
Hindu gurus fall under the control of an organization called the Vishva Hindu Parishad. Hindu-based groups include Rama Krishna, Vedanta movements, Hare Krishna, 3HO, the Theosophical Society, and many yoga groups. Their stated aim is to unify all religions.

Other religions also propagate New Age philosophies:
Sadly, even Christianity is being infiltrated by New Age teachings. The history of this apostasy can be traced back to Babylon, and has been maintained throughout the ages. In the time of Christ, the Essenes adhered to occult teachings and later they were initiated into a brotherhood, called Sufis. Those in charge of these mystical organizations are known as the Masters of Wisdom.
This article is adapted from Truth Matters by Professor Walter J. Veith, an international speaker who has studied Biblical issues in-depth in his quest for truth. His popular series Genesis Conflict brings the debate between Creation and evolution to a new climax as he dissects the arguments with a scientific eye. His highly-acclaimed series Total Onslaught sheds light on the state of the world today as we move to a one-world government and an anticipated apocalypse.
