       Questions Regarding Aryanism
   DIR By: christianbethel

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       This will be my thread where I ask questions concerning
       Aryanism. I pray that I receive sufficient answers.
       For starters: I was rereading the third part of the 'Aryan
       Diffusion' article and couldn't help but notice the Vedic
       'Indian' peoples are held in quite a negative light. What does
       Aryanism have to say about Hinduism? Savitri Devi was a Hindu,
       and the principle of Ahimsa originated with Hinduism. Are there
       separate religions that you specify?

       "the Vedic 'Indian' peoples are held in quite a negative light"
       They do not deserve to be called "Indian" (which refers to the
       Indus Valley); the Vedics were Turanians:

       And yes, they are the main villains of Part 3.
       "What does Aryanism have to say about Hinduism?"
       The good parts of it came from Jainism. The bad parts of it came
       from Vedic Brahmanism:

       > Modern Hinduism can be regarded as a combination of Vedic and
       śramaṇa traditions as it is substantially influenced
       by both traditions. Among the Astika schools of Hinduism,
       Vedanta, Samkhya, and Yoga philosophies influenced and were
       influenced by the śramaṇa philosophy.

       I recommend re-purifying Hinduism by throwing out the Vedic
       influences. Anyone who wishes to start a blog doing so should
       post the link below. (Would you like to try?)
       "Savitri Devi was a Hindu"
       Yes, and she criticized the aspects of it she disliked. Quotes
       of her doing so were included in Part 3.

       > Scholars have conjectured that images such as those of the
       bull in Indus Valley Civilization seal are related to
       Jainism.[309] It is one of the Śramaṇa traditions of
       ancient India, those that rejected the Vedas,[310][311] and
       according to the philosopher Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, it
       existed before them.[312][313]

       Jainism should be considered the originator of Ahimsa.
       "Are there separate religions that you specify?"
       Yes:

       Vaisheshika, Samkhya, Yoga, Mīmāṃsā and
       Vedanta schools of Hinduism, and they are classified as the
       āstika schools:

       "Since Jainism predates Hinduism"
       Jainism can be called the original "Hinduism", as the word
       "Hindu" itself originates from the English who used it to refer
       to the religious practices of the Indus Valley area, and since
       the English only arrived during the renaissaince, whereas the
       existence of the Indus Valley predates their arrival by several
       millenia, the English definition only referred to the
       contemporary practices at that time. However, etymologically,
       "Hindu", similar to "Indian", strictly refers to the religious
       practices of the Indus Valley Civilization, which is Jainism. I
       recommend this approach to recruit Aryan Hindus who do not
       formally identify as Jain but nevertheless are closer to the
       Indus Valley Civilization.

       From the site (Aryan Diffusion Part 3):
       --- Quote ---
       > In contrast, Zoroaster promised that the Ahura would
       ultimately triumph over the Daeva, leading to the end of time.
       (In English, shards of both opposing worldviews obliviously
       co-exist in the positive connotation of “divine” (Vedic sense)
       and negative connotation of “devil” (Zoroaster’s sense), even
       though etymologically – and indeed theologically – the terms are
       cognate.)

       belonging to a god, inspired, prophetic," related to deus "god,
       deity" (from PIE root *dyeu- "to shine," in derivatives "sky,

       > devil (n.)
       >
       > Old English deofol "a devil, a subordinate evil spirit
       afflicting humans;" also, in Christian theology, "the Devil, a
       powerful spirit of evil otherwise known as Satan," from Late
       Latin diabolus (also the source of Italian diavolo, French
       diable, Spanish diablo; German Teufel is Old High German tiufal,
       from Latin via Gothic diabaulus).
       > The Late Latin word is from Ecclesiastical Greek diabolos,
       which in Jewish and Christian use was "the Devil, Satan," and
       which in general use meant "accuser, slanderer" (thus it was a
       scriptural loan-translation of Hebrew satan; see Satan). It is
       an agent noun from Greek diaballein "to slander, attack,"
       literally "to throw across," from dia "across, through" (see
       dia-) + ballein "to throw" (from PIE root *gwele- "to throw,
       reach").

       "Divine" and "Devil" are not etymological cognates.

       That is a matter of opinion. It could be argued that dyeu itself
       comes from dia, as for something to shine, the light must travel
       across/through space from the source to the eye.

       OK, that's a bit of a stretch, but noted.
       --- Quote ---
       > “The Brahmins who called themselves ârya in India, were no
       more aware of the real origin of this name and its connection
       with agricultural labour, than the artist who now speaks of his
       art as a divine inspiration suspects that the word which he uses
       was originally applicable only to so primitive an art as that of
       ploughing.” – Max Mueller

       Damn. The one place where I didn't think to look.
       I was browsing the site recently and I noticed there are no
       quotes from Reinhard Heydrich. Didn't Hitler view him as the
       ideal National Socialist?
