Subject: "Arya" in Blavatsky's THEOSOPHICAL GLOSSARY

 

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. . . ."

BA GOSWAMI: PLEASE NOTE THAT 'ARYA' IS HEREIN TRANSLATED 'THE 
HOLY'. THE PATH FROM THE SANSKRIT ROOT AR TO THE ASSOCIATED 
MEANING 'HOLY' GOES STRAIGHT THROUGH ITS MEANING 'WHITE' AS 
IN 'PURE'. THUS 'HOLY' MOTHER TARA IS CALLED 'ARYA TARA' OR 'WHITE 
TARA'. THIS THEOSOPHICAL GLOSSARY DEFINITION OF 'ARYA' AFFIRMS WHAT 
I HAVE SAID, THAT HPB ET AL UNDERSTOOD THE TERM ARYA OR ARYAN AS 
COMING FROM THE ROOT AR MEANING 'WHITE', AND NOT FROM THE DEITY BIJA 
(SEED)-MANTRAM NAME HAR, AS IN HARI (KRISHNA-VISHNU), HARA (SHIVA), 
OR HRIH (AMITABHA-LOKESHVARA BUDDHA).  

THIS HARI-ASSOCIATED UNIVERSAL DEITY NAME IS RELATED TO THE SUMERIAN 
ILU, EAST AND WEST SEMITIC URI, ORI, ARI, ALI, ELI, MITANNI HURRI, 
ZEND-AVESTAN HVARE, PRE-ZOROASTRIAN ZER, NILO-SAHARAN (EGYPTIAN) 
HERI (HERU ETC.), NIGER OLU, ALE ETC., AND GRECO-ROMAN HELI / SOLE.   
I ASSERT THAT THE TERM ARYA IN REFERENCE TO THE SURA GANA, HARYANA, 
HARI-JANA 'ARYANS' WHO WORSHIPED VISHNU, WAS LIKE OTHER DEITY 
PATRONYMICS, IDENTIFYING THE PEOPLE OF-FROM OR RELATED-TO THE SUPREME 
DEITY HARI, HERI HARA, ELI(JUDEO-CHRISTIAN) , ALI (ALLAH) ETC. THUS 
THE BLACKS OF THE ANCIENT NIGER AND NILO-SAHARAN LANGUAGE FAMILIES, 
THE SEMITES OF THE LEVANT, AND THE 'INDO-EUROPEANS' ALL WORSHIPED THE 
SAME SUPREME DEITY. TESTING THIS, I HAVE FOUND ENDLESS 
INTERDISCIPLINARY PROOFS. THUS IT IS CLEAR THAT THE VEDIC 'ARYAS' 
COULD HAVE BEEN ANY 'RACE', BECAUSE THE TERM WAS A WORD OF 
ASSOCIATION IDENTIFYING SOMEONE OR GROUP WITH THE SUPREME FATHER GOD 
OF ALL PEOPLES.
