H.P. Blavatsky writes in THE THEOSOPHICAL GLOSSARY:

"Ârya (Sk.) Lit., 'the holy'; originally the title of Rishis,
those 
who had mastered the 'Âryasatyâni' (q.v.)and entered the
Âryanimârga 
path to Nirvâna or Moksha, the great 'four-fold' path. But now the 
name has become the epithet of a race, and our Orientalists, 
depriving the Hindu Brahmans of their birth-right, have made Aryans 
of all Europeans. . . ."
