       Questions Regarding Aryanism
       By: christianbethel Date: September 16, 2020, 10:31 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       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:

       [quote]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.[/quote]
       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.
       "the principle of Ahimsa originated with Hinduism"

       Since Jainism predates Hinduism:

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

       [quote]Āstika
       A list of six systems or ṣaḍdarśanas (also
       spelled Sad Darshan) consider Vedas as a reliable source of
       knowledge and an authoritative source.[18] These are the Nyaya,
       Vaisheshika, Samkhya, Yoga, Mīmāṃsā and
       Vedanta schools of Hinduism, and they are classified as the
       āstika schools:
       ...
       Nāstika
       The main schools of Indian philosophy that reject the Vedas were
       regarded as heterodox in the tradition:[3][/quote]

       "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.)[/quote]
  HTML https://www.etymonline.com/word/divine#etymonline_v_11548
       [quote]divine (adj.)
       late 14c., "pertaining to, of the nature of, or proceeding from
       God or a god; addressed to God," from Old French divin, devin
       (12c.), from Latin divinus "of a god," from divus "of or
       belonging to a god, inspired, prophetic," related to deus "god,
       deity" (from PIE root *dyeu- "to shine," in derivatives "sky,
       heaven, god").[/quote]
  HTML https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=devil
       [quote]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").[/quote]
       "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[/quote]
       Where can I find this quote?

       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?
