Greetings to you. Inspite of breaking the myth of the Aryan Invasion theory we find that students in Indian school still going thru the topics of Aryan Invasion and the battles between Aryans and Dravidians. It is time for us to take proactive action in breaking these myths again and to remove such contents from the school text books as well as from the history of India.
So let me take you to the source of the mis interpretation.
I would urge you to download the sanskrit fonts in case you want to read the sanskrit mantras pertaining to these.
The Gnana-Bhoomi or
the region of Gnana is divided into 7 Bhoomikas or stages of development. Vide the following from the Mahopanishad.
#ma< sÝpda< }an-Uimmak[Ryan", nanya }atya -Uyae maehp»e inm¾it,

“The Gnana-Bhoomikas has
7 steps. Once you understand it, there is no more illusion. It is also
explained by the wise as the various Bhoomikas.
True knowledge is known as Gnana that consists of 7 stages. Mukti is known as
Gneya or the object to be known and is beyond the 7 Bhoomikas. The 7 Bhoomikas
are zu-eCDa £
ivcar[a £ tnumansI £ sÅvapiÄ £ As<si− £ pdawR-avna £ tuyRga. Mukti which destroys all the miseries of man is the
total product of all the 7 Bhoomikas.”
The Gnana which leads
to Mukti is explained as the result of the gradual practice of Yoga through the
7 stages prescribed here. The first Bhoomika named Subhechha is defined as
follows in the Akshi Upanishad.
mnsa kmR[a vaca s¾nanupsevte, yt>k…tiídanIy inTy< zaSÇa{ype]te,

“He who feels anxious to get over the miseries
of Samsara, and for that purpose attempts on and respects the wise, by mind,
word and deed, and also secures the knowledge of the Sastras from whatever
source available, attains the first Bhoomika.
He is then recognized
as a Bhoomikavan or one who owns Bhoomika. Others below him are styled Aryas.”
An Aryan in Sanskrit
commonly means a well behaved gentleman. The word also signifies a wanderer,
derived from the root Ri to
go. Evidently it is in the latter sense, the Aryan migrations are described in
modern historical treatises. Whatever that may be, the Aryan here is not a Bhoomikavan. He has not secured even the
lowest among the 7 Bhoomikas. The
Vedic Indian who owns the Gnana-Kanda consisting of the 7 Bhoomikas must certainly be super Aryan. He could not have
therefore belonged originally to any stock that did not possess the Gnana-Kanda
of the Vedas.
Ø
Which among the
various stocks discovered by Western historians now possesses any religious
conception that could fearlessly approach the Gnana-Kanda of the Vedic Indian?
Not one. Nothing is
gained in the true interest of religion by unnecessarily associating one strange
stock with another.
Ø
Why make such a
fuss about it in the false name of history?
There is no doubt, an
immediate unworthy object and that is, to trace back the origin of the
vegetarian Hindu to some beef-eaters in Central Asia, and that is all.
Ø
What is gained by
this?
He could be connected
with the Indo-Aryan stock which branched off into two, in some historical
period, one proceeding to the West and the other to the East.
Ø
What special
historical proof is there to include the vegetarian Hindu now living in India?
His religious records
do not guarantee any such improbable inference. On the contrary his Gnana-Kanda
gives him the title of Super-Aryan. Surely no false history could ever convert
a vegetarian Hindu into a carrion-eater of any period. All this is no science
of history. It is after all only the natural outburst of the bitter feeling of
unadulterated envy
The Races in India
Western historians
have settled for us ex-parte, many an important matter in Indian affairs. We
have already seen with what enviable ease and with what reverential regard they
have disposed of our voluminous religious texts. They have spared no pains in
showing the same amount of affection and justice in the subject under
reference. According to their settled view India is at present inhabited by two
distinct and antagonistic races, one being the Dravidians or the aborigines and
the other being the Aryans who migrated subsequently.
Ø
How are these
grand historical facts pertaining to the Indian peninsula so exactly discovered
from the far West?
Certainly, the words
Aryan and Dravidan originally belong to the Sanskrit language with their
specific meanings clearly understood in India long before the Western
historians interpreted them according to their sweet will and pleasure. We have
here noticed the technical significance of Arya as furnished in a reputed
Upanishad. Western historians may be assured here that the term Dravida is no
antonym to Arya. Drava, Dravya and Dravida refer to the idea of melting. Dravya
means also wax which melts very easily. ÔVy< -Vye xneúmadaE
jtuÔumivkaryae>, #it hEm>. Dravida
thus denotes Bhakti or devotion consequent on the melting of heart like the wax
held over the fire. Vide Halasyam.
pavkaNtSwjtuvtœ ÔvI-Utm-UNmn>.
In the Bhagavata-Mahatmyam, Bhakti says she was
born in Dravida. %TpÚa Ôaivfe cahmœ,Here of course, Bhakti is no woman and Dravida is no
country. The people styled themselves Dravidians and called their country
Dravida Desa in order to show their reverence for Bhakti as an important
ingredient in their sacred religion. Bhakti means devotion and not the blind
and the vague love mentioned in the Bible. It is respect plus love. The respect
must first originate from the clear knowledge of the Supreme Entity. Such is
the connotation of the word Dravida in the Sanskrit language. The Western
historians and philologists have not yet discovered this word in any other
language, but they boldly interpret Dravidian as a non-Aryan which in itself
may mean anything.
Aryan and Dravidian
are certainly not antonyms. An Aryan must be a hypocrite unless he is a
Dravidian also.
Ø
How stupid and
unwarranted are the meanings now assumed for these two ordinary words in the
Sanskrit language?
It is exactly in this
manner that all the details of Indian history are settled from the West. The
whole affair is an expert display of magnificent Jugglery.
