Greco-Buddhism influenced the artistic, and perhaps the spiritual framework, developments of Buddhism, particularly Mahayana Buddhism, founded in India, which represents one of the two main branches of Buddhism.The Buddhist religious system was then adopted in Central and Northeastern Asia, from the 1st century CE, ultimately spreading to China, Korea and Japan.
Secondly, the Kundalini Shakti is not a "mystical force" it's merely a force of Nature, a type of subtle energy that flows through the human body when you attain Enlightenment, hence my idea about the flames surrounding the person on the coin.
Lol... who says they were "without science"? Do you realize that science has it's foundations in mysticism? Astronomy came from Astrology, Isaac Newton, the father of modern physics, claimed he spent twice as much time studying Alchemy and other such occultism as he did tradtional "physics", Chemistry comes from Alchemy, Pythagoras and Plato, the founders of Western Philosophy, mathematics, etc.. they were all students of the Mysteries brought to Greece from Egypt.
Personally, I think they developed quite isolated. It is very natural for any culture to develop a veneration of fire, without science it does appear to by quite a mystical force indeed.

Oh I see. I thought you were referring to Zoroastrianism. I think perhaps the artistic form was borrowed but the symbolism and meaning is different.
