Dear Anthanarik,

In response to your remark and quotation concerning the suggestion of

an

'Aryan race' in ancient India I am pleased to submit the following.

The Sanskrit word 'arya' means 'anyone who leads a spiritual life',

it also

means 'noble soul'. May be you are black or yellow, and I might be

red and

purple - if we follow the Vedic principles of religious life, or Krsna

consciousness for that matter, we are 'arya' instantly. The proof of

its

transcendental meaning is the international convertion of sincere

souls to

brahminical life by the Gaudiya Vedanta Samiti, one of the four main

Vaisnava-sampradayas coming from Brahma. All these souls from

different

nationalities have become 'arya' on the very day of their initiation

(diksa). The word 'arya' points to actual spiritual conduct and not

to any

physical designation. The spirit soul is beyond the body and mind, as

you

will know. Therefore, the word 'arya' has nothing to do with race at

all.

Actually, the Vedic synonym of 'race' is 'species'. Mankind is one

species,

monkeys are another, etc. Nevertheless, the pure hearted souls whose

seminal

ancestors followed the path of bhakti and brahminical purification

rites

(samskaras) since thousands of generations maintain and/or develop a

bright

complexion. The long-term cultivation of spiritual purity of body,

mind and

soul appears to reflect in one's external features, as well. Still,

this

'brightness' has nothing to do with race or species, again. After

all, I

have seen people change colors instantly. Haven't you?

On the other hand, this racial myth in India - and especially in the

Dravidian South developed under the influence of the British - is

based on

the Western scientific concoction of the Aryan Invasion Theory

written by

Sir Mortimer Wheeler between 1946-54 shortly after World War II. The

Aryan

Invasion Theory was based on the excavations in Harappa and Mohenjo

Daro

since 1922 from which the Western scientists found that 'tribal

hordes from

the North-West (Kaukasus) invaded the Indian Subcontinent and forced

the

indigenous population to adopt the Vedic culture between 1200-800

BC'. We

all know that Hitler in Nazi Germany abused the Vedic theory of

varnasrama-dharma-tattva from the Bhagavad-gita earlier in favor of

his own

perverted race theory. In that way Sir Mortimer Wheeler provided the

Germans

with the heritage of Sanskrit poetry and ancient knowledge. In other

words,

the so-called Aryan race claimed to be the origin and bearer of the

ancient

Vedic civilization just after the defeat of the Germans in WW II.

In spite of the brand-new asset the Western scientific world never

discovered the true values of the Vedas. 'How could such tribal

savages

dispose of any elevated knowledge and pure spiritual teachings? '

Paradoxically, the Western world, therefore, considered the

Vedas 'primitive

poetry' and ignored their elevated status for a longtime due to their

misconceived origin. Could the scientists comprehend the truths in

these

literatures themselves? In fact, the Vedic literature is accessible

only to

the reader proportionately to his level of consciousness. In other

words,

only pure souls are able to understand its imports to their fullest

extent,

whereas the modern scientists are situated at the opposite end of the

scale.

After all, this complete incident is no longer a hot item anymore. The

Invasion Theory has recently been falsified by a team of scholars who

never

found a trace of invasion, destruction or suppression by foreign

tribes in

the area of the Indus-Sarasvati Valleys. One interesting proof of its

falsification is the fact that the Vedas give mention of the

Sarasvati River

which went underground longtime before the so-called invaders could

have

written or induced the Vedas in that region.

These Scriptures, especially the Puranas, contain self-evident

knowledge.

They describe the transcendental history of mankind since Creation by

Lord

Brahma down to the end of Kali-yuga which lies in the distant future.

Who

could invent such highly complicated narrations, such extremely

spiritual

theories in such a learned tongue like the Sankrit verse? Were they

ordinary

human beings, or was it God Himself and His many Incarnations? The

value of

the Vedic Scriptures is their exceptional transcendental position.

Nothing

in the entire world can compare with their supernatural qualities,

names,

forms and pastimes. They are supremely divine and unparallelled! They

are

the literary Incarnation of the Supreme Lord Himself, the Blue God of

Love,

Sri Krishna.
