The Origins of the Aryan Notion and its Meaning Author : Svarg Often we hear various nationalist movements throw around the title Aryan, thinking that by doing so they are inheriting the greatness of the Aryan legacy. Little do they know of it's meaning, nor do most even care to find out what it means. It is an insult to the Aryan philosophy and it's people when used in such a way, and most especially when used by Christians. So what did being an Aryan mean to our ancestors? In order to understand this we need to look through various dialectal forms of the word Ar, as well as where and how it was used. Here are a few variations: Ar/Yar As/Yas Or Ra Ru Ro Based on some words where we can get a general idea of what it means. We will now go over a few words: (English/Latin) Rough Ruin Rage Rave Romp War Roar Ares Various (Latin Varius: change, diversification, transition) (Slavic) Ray the highest heaven, paradise. Rahman - an enlightened wise man. Brama - gates of transition. Yarilo a solar deity. Yarkiy bright. Yariy to be aroused in great energy, such as being enraged, or to be sexually aroused. Svarga the most common word used to denote the swastika (a solar symbol). Oraty to plow. Ruynuvati to ruin. Orats to scream. 1/9
Varyty to suffocate with heat, or boil. Svara to fight. Vartiy worthy. Harno good. Yasno clear and bright. Zhara heat. Yaroslav a common Slavic name, meaning he who glorifies Yar. Yarga another name used to denote the swastika. Asi/Yasi one of the names used by Scythian tribes. Ros/Rus (in this word the o actually sounds more like a combination of the letter o and u ) a river in Ukraine known for it's brightness & clarity. Roxolani a Scythian tribe, Rox/Rokhs denoting brightness. Raduha an arch of light, duha being the Slavic word for arch. Radost the Slavic word for happiness. Dost "dostatok" is the Slavic word for "abundance", so Radost means an abundance of God's energy. Khors another name of a solar deity. Rudiy red. Krasniy red. Karaty to execute or carry out judgement. (Swedish) Grov rough. Rå rough, crude. Rasa rave. Svarma to swarm, or rave. Varg a vicious wolf. Yra to be delirious. Raseri to be in a rage. (Sanskrit) Rata to be engaged in. Rusa great rage. Rosa to be in a great rage. Rudra the destroyer, also known as the mightiest terror or the roarer. Indra the god of war, lightning storms and lightning. Vajra lightning bolt. Svarga the highest heaven, paradise. (Avestan) Yasna -- to worship the light of God, to bring oblation. In Sanskrit the letter "s" is replaced with a "j" - Yajna. There are countless words with the root Ar found in them, I think this should be sufficient. In Old Persian and Sanskrit there are two words denoting cosmic order and truth. 2/9
Sanskrit?ta Old Persian Asa/Arta There is also another interesting word to take into account - ravine. The Slavic word for ravine is Yar. According to the etymology of the word ravin, we can see that it also like the previous words listed above, is associated with a violent and energetic force. Why would our ancestors call a deep narrow gorge with steep sides a Yar? A ravine has two opposing sides, representing duality. It bares the same symbolism as the Swastika/Yin Yang and Vajra/Trident, as explained here. The yin yang symbol was also an Aryan symbol, evidence of this can be found in the Trypillian culture. This also explains the reason as to why the Aryans associated plowing with Ar (Oraty). Because plowing divides and creates two opposing sides. 3/9
It creates duality through division, and thus the space in between. Division cultivates, brings forth life, in this case it allows the crops to better grow. In the case of a man and woman - a son or daughter is born. In the case of a negatively charged cloud and a positively charged cloud lightning. This duality penetrates all levels of existence.

As we can see the color red or yellow, were used to denote the sacred fire of creation and cosmic order, the fire of the universal sun Svarga. Svarga (swastika), is a combination of three different root words. Sva the pervasive unmanifest chaos, emptiness passive. 6/9
Ar the fire or light that brings order to chaos, manifest active. Ga denotes movement. Sva is the yin, Ar is the yang. The interplay between these two polar opposites creates the cyclic nature of the world. Movement and time are measured by cycles. Everything in the universe follows a cycle. This is why Samsara (the manifest world), is portrayed as a wheel of life, shifting through various cycles and transitions - through existence (which is the definition of the word samsara). This process is held together and supported by the highest heaven, the all pervading universal sun, the one source of all Svarga. The question may arise, why is the word Ar used to denote violent action? The yang (Ar), is in charge of that which dismembers and divides, such as the dismemberment of Purusha the cosmic giant, who is yin (Sva). It is the destructive/transformative force in the Universe which maintains cosmic order. Cosmic order can be understood as the laws of physics, i.e the law of transmutation. Energy is in a constant state of transmission and transmutation. It is the cause and effect of itself and can be neither created nor destroyed. This law explains that everything in the universe that we can see, hear,smell, taste, or touch, together with our emotions, is the manifestation of energy in various levels of vibration. The universe as a whole, and in its parts, has its existence in an ocean of motion. Motion is the only thing that is constant. Change (cycles) is energy's only attribute; and because of it, comes all that is apparent to our material senses. In the yin-yang symbol there is a dot of yin in yang and a dot of yang in yin. This symbolizes the inter-connectedness of the opposite forces as different aspects of Tao, the First Principle (Svarga). Contrast is needed to create a distinguishable reality, without which we would experience nothingness. Therefore, the independent principles of Sva and Ar are actually dependent on one another for each other's distinguishable existence. The complementary dualistic concept in Vedism represents the reciprocal interaction throughout nature, related to a feedback loop, where opposing forces do not exchange in opposition but instead exchange reciprocally to promote stabilization similar to homeostasis. An underlying principle in Vedism states that within every independent entity lies a part of its opposite. Within sickness lies health and vice versa. This is because all opposites are manifestations of the single unified Svarga, and are therefore not independent from one another, but rather a variation of the same unifying force throughout all of nature. 7/9
Vedism is the Sanskrit and Slavic word meaning science or knowledge. It is this knowledge that defined our Aryan ancestors way of life, that propelled them to greatness. Aryans are the bearers of the light (Veda) of God who is the Universe. Through meditation and other various methods of self reflection our Aryan ancestors were able to merge with the universal sun and receive knowledge of the functions of cosmic order. It is the same light that people speak of seeing when near death - the light at the end of the tunnel. Those that have merged with that light, and were able to bring back the knowledge they have acquired while in that state were called Brahmins. Brahman translates in Sanskrit as cosmic egg. Thus Brahmins were those who merged with the Cosmic Egg (Svarga), and acquired the knowledge (Veda). This knowledge provided them with clarity and understanding, of why they were here on earth. It provided them with a sense of purpose. 8/9
Thus only those who have merged with the light and carry it's knowledge can be considered true Aryans. Though those people that acknowledge Vedic knowledge can to an extent also be considered Aryans. An Aryan is one who understands and has fully embraced the ultimate mission of Svarog, to make the best of Samsara. What does it mean to make the best of Samsara? Samsara is the endless process of self realization. It is self reflection. So to make the best of Samsara would be to enhance the process of self reflection. To be an Aryan means to be the will of God to be a creator. 9/9 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
