  1. I believe the first "Aryan" race lived in central Asia and migrated west to Europe and south to India where they mixed with indigenous Blacks.  I'm not so sure if such a thing as Aryan culture actually exists.  If you mean white supremacy, it began in mid 1800s with Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection.  Then White Europeans began theorizing that Whites are the most evolved form of humans and Blacks the most primitive.  This theory was used to justify slavery, but even the law makers that made slavery legal did not actually believe in this.  They were just driven by profits.  As were Hitler and n***s a few dacades later where they blamed the Jews for their mishap.  Side note:  Adolf Hitler, supreme commander of n**i Germany, was not an Aryan.  A slight oversight.


  2. Two gorillas were walking around Europa.  One gorilla was albino, and when they met up with the rest of their tribe from the south, they laughed and laughed at the white gorilla, and left him behind.  The white gorilla's anger grew and grew, and so he and the other white gorillas stayed in Europa while the rest of the black gorillas stayed in Africana.  The white gorillas vowed revenge, and eventually evolved into humans.  And this is where hate came from.

  3. What Is Vedic Aryan Culture

    By Stephen Knapp

    It is often considered that the Vedic Aryans are a race of people. Aryan actually means a standard of living, an ideal. It was the Sanskrit speaking people of thousands of years ago that gave the word arya to signify a gentleman, an ideal person, someone on the path of purity. It was a term meant for those who were on the cutting edge of social evolution. Another way of interpreting the word aryan is that ar also means white or clear. Ya refers to God. Ya also refers to Yadu, or Krishna. Thus, aryan means those who have, or are developing, a clear path or a clear consciousness toward God.

    In this way, we can understand that Aryanism, or Vedic culture, is a way of life. It is not a race of people or a sectarian creed or religion. It belongs to no particular country or race. It is a path that upholds a code of conduct which values peace and happiness and justice for all. Thus, it is a path open for all who want to be trained to be happy with simple living and high thinking, while engaged in proper conduct, a moral life, and selfless service to humanity. Therefore, anyone who wants to live in such a manner may be called an Aryan, a member of the Vedic culture, no matter from which race or country a person may come.

    So what does it mean to follow this Vedic Aryan path? It generally means to learn the ways of a spiritually progressed person. This includes understanding one's spiritual identity, knowing that he or she is not the body but is spirit soul, that there is karma for one's actions, and rebirth in another life after death. Thus, everyone will automatically reap the reward or punishment for his own good or evil thoughts, words, and deeds. By having a solid understanding of such spiritual knowledge, there is automatically a respect for all others regardless of race, s*x, or species. This brings a moral and peaceful social behavior in everybody toward everyone. By having respect for everyone's spiritual identity, this also brings an innate happiness in us all. We can understand that we are only visiting this planet for a short time, and that we are all in this together. In other words, my contribution to your well-being, especially spiritual well-being, will be an automatic contribution to my own existence. In this way, society at large is in a state of constant improvement. That is the goal of the Vedic Aryan way of life.

    Not everyone, however, wants to reach this stage of life or follow this path. That is why the Vedic system installs rules for moral behavior and regulatory sacraments and practices beginning from the prenatal stage all the way through death. Of course, many of these moralistic rules are also quite common in other forms of religion and behavior. However, anybody who is unwilling to follow such rules for a balanced moral standard is dubbed a non-Aryan. Such a person is not on the spiritual path of life, regardless of what other standards or principles of etiquette he may follow. So a person who lacks spiritual tendencies and acts on the bodily platform of life, willing to do whatever he likes, or who thinks he is a white body, or a black body, or from this country or that, and who holds loyalty only to that conception and shows it by criticizing everyone who is not like him, is a non-Aryan. He may hold love for his family and those who are like him, but makes no elevating contribution to the rest of society. Furthermore, he often instills into his children the same prejudice that he carries, thus perpetuating this view and the misunderstandings of life that he has. In this way, we can see the need to return to the Vedic standards of life through authentic spiritual education.

    Therefore, the Sanskrit word Aryan means a way of life that aims at the elevation of everyone in society to a higher level of consciousness. It means to assist ourselves through a disciplined and godly life to understand the purpose of our existence as well as to become a spiritually realized person. It also means that we help every other individual soul because by helping others we help ourselves. That itself is a natural state of being when we can perceive God as the Supersoul, Paramatma, within everyone. All of this is encouraged by, and increases, a natural faith in an all-pervading Supreme Being. Such faith and focus on the Supreme Being can elevate us to return to our real spiritual home after death, which is one of the most important goals of the Vedic lifestyle.

    Hinduism and The Indus Valley Civilization



    The extent of the IVC



    The dating of ancient Hinduism has always been, and will likely continue to be, a difficult issue. Prior to 1923 the only means of dating the origins of Hinduism was through textual evidence found in the Shruti Vedas. The early Aryans left no cities or other major architectural remains, therefore, textual evidence alone can only push early Hinduism back to about 1500 BCE. In 1923 a great civilization along the banks of the Indus River was first unearthed, and the possibility to push the early origins of Hinduism back many millennia arose. Now a great controversy rages regarding the origins of this civilization and its relationship to Hinduism. There are indications that Indus Valley culture has roots far back into neolithic times (7000 BCE), but current evidence places the active phase of this culture between 3300–1700 BCE, with its high points between 2600–1900 BCE. If a link can be traced between this culture and Hinduism it could push the date of Hinduism back many more millennia than current textual evidence allows.



    The Indus Valley  

    The center of Indus Valley culture was along the Indus River basin and its tributaries, which places most of it in present day Pakistan, but ruins of this culture have also appeared as far west as northern Afghanistan along the Oxus river and east into present day Gujarat, and even into Haryana State in central India. This covers an area the size of Western Europe and so far over a thousand cities and settlements have been located! The Indus Valley people left behind an extensive set of cities and towns, the most notable of which are Harappa, Mohendaro, and Lothal, and through these sites it is clear that they were well organized with planned streets, elaborate bathes, covered sewage systems, water and drainage to individual homes, and even large port facilities. As in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, grain appears to be the basis of the economy. This is evidenced by the extensive storage structures found in most cities and towns and in particular at the port city of Lothal. In fact, the Indus Valley Civilization is the largest of the four ancient world civilizations that includes Egypt, Mesopotamia and China. Unfortunately, it is the least known because its script has yet to be deciphered. Indeed, there are over 400 distinct symbols found on thousands of pieces of pottery, seals, amulets and other artifacts, but no "Rosetta Stone," or means of deciphering the script has yet been found, and without this it is likely that the origins of this civilization will remain obscure. This, of course, is the crux of the problem in trying to relate this civilization to ancient Hinduism.



    The Proto Shiva  

    A present there are three main theories to explain the origins of the Indus Valley Civilization and how it relates to Hinduism. The first is that it is an Aryan civilization and the script is an early form of Sanskrit. The second is that the culture is proto-Dravidian and therefore a part of the indigenous culture of the Indian sub-continent and, finally, that it has no relation to either Aryan or Dravidian culture and consequently no relationship to Hinduism. There are problems with all three of these hypothesizes.

    Signs of ancient remains first appeared in the Indus Valley during the 1800s when Europeans began to move through the area in numbers. In fact, bricks from this ancient civilization were unknowingly used by the British when they built the first railroads in the 1860s, but it was not until the 1920s when John Marshall, director of the Archaeological Survey of India, started an excavation at Harappa that it became apparent just how ancient and extensive this lost civilization was. Along with finds from other archaeologists, who were excavating at Mohenjo Daro, Marshall believed that they had found evidence for a new civilization that was older than any they had known before. It was originally thought that the civilization was early Aryan and the script was a form of the Brahmi script and therefore proto-Sanskrit. The Aryan theory, however, soon became rejected because the Indus culture showed no signs of the chariot, the horse, iron, ritual fire use, or other haul marks of Aryan culture described in the Vedas. Consequently, speculations grew that the script was some form of Sumerian, Egyptian, Hittite, or even old Slavic, to name just a few. In recent years, with the desire to show that Aryan culture was indigenous to the Indian sub-continent and not the result of migration, the theory that the Indus Valley Civilization was Aryan has again been raised by different groups trying to establish this view.



    The Proto Shiva  

    The second theory, which is currently popular, is the proto-Dravidian theory that developed during the late 1960s and 1970s by Russian and Finnish teams of researchers. They tried to show that the symbols can be derived from the Dravidian language group. Generally this language group is found in south India, but there are pockets of it scattered throughout India, particularly in northern Pakistan, which gave credence to this theory. If, indeed, the Indus culture is Dravidian in some form, it pushes the dating for the Dravidian side of Hindu culture back considerably. However, major challenges have been presented against the script being Dravidian and therefore

  4. It started somewhere in Europe where they wanted a "pure" white race.

  5. Good Question and its an interesting story if your interested.

    But they called themselves the noble ones or superior ones when they first started. they were a tribe of nomadic people who lived in far reaches of Euro-asia in hostile steppe lands barely scratching out a living. the were a very tough people and feirce and war like. their religion reflects it dominated as it is by a storm god or a sky god that enjoys war and conquest. Their culture was oriented around warrare, and they were very good at it. They were superior on horseback and rushed into battle in chariots. They were a tribal people ruled over by a war cheif or raja which is a latin word for king. Somewhere in the early centuries of the second millenium BC, they began to migrate southwards in waves of steady conquest across the face of persia and the lands of india.

    This might be interesting but European or Aryan, descent have the longest and the greates cultural heritage of any culture. yet today the unique customs unique cultural ethos or soul are understood and appretiated only by a minority of Aryans. Its unfortunate that the majority of Aryans are more familiar with other culture and races then they are with their own. The Aryans or Vedic civilization were a new start in indian culture. The Aryans adopted almost nothing of harappan culture. They built no cities no states no granaries and used no writing. Instead they were warlike people that organized themselves in individual tribal kinship units the jana. the jana.

    hope that was helpful

    did the guy under me like copy most of my answer or what?

  6. what do you mean?

  7. Do you mean the German "master race" Aryans or the ones in North India? The German ones started becomeing popular with the rise of Facism in the 1930's in Germany. I think that the Aryans in India were of a higher caste then the normal Hindu, but I'm not positive about that.
