SNO3 তত্ত্ববােধিনী পত্রিক 3°甲矶,e°评 سیاسی بیسیسم-- ۴ Aryans as amazed them to the utmost degree. Deva-Aryan emperors called Indras (a title given to sovereigns, chiefs and nobles in India) courted the alliance of Indo-Aryan princes when pressed by the Asuras (not AsuraAryans, but simply Asuras) or Turarniaus, though vastly superior to the said Indo-Aryan princes in knowledge and civilization but inferior in physical prowess as they considered the Indo-Aryan kings and their soldiers to be great warriors endowed with great physical strength and great intelligence in mititary affairs which enabled them to offer good advice at the time of war. The name of a place called Indrala or Indralaya, is given in Johnston's Wall Map of Asia as situated south of Balkh. Whenever an Indra wanted an Indo-Aryan prince to assist him in the time of war with the Asuras, he used to send Vimanas or aerial cars to carry him and his army to Indralaya. The Deva-Aryans were quite acquainted with the art of aerial navigation. The Indo-Aryans learnt it from them. They had also their Wimanas. The present Hindus have totally lost the knowledge of the art. But this highly civilized Aryan race, the Deva-Aryans, who did not communicate their marvellous scientific knowledge to other Aryans except such as they thought to be fit recipients of that knowledge have perished and totally disappeared from the earth, keeping no monument of their greatness behind but leaving only a howling desert in the place where their most magnificent capital, Indralaya stood. Traces of their high civilization have been preserved in India, such as are exhibited by some individual Indo-Aryans in their knowledge of mesmerism and the art of prophecy and that of telling past events of a man’s life my means of astrology, geomancy and physiognomy and in their knowledge of other occult sciences which set Europeans agape with wonder. In some future period the subterranean cities, lately discovered by the Russians, in central Asia, may perhaps reveal some tales of the Deva-Aryans which may amaze the inhabitants of Europe still more. How the Deva-Aryans perished from the earth like the famous Arcadian race cannot be ascertained. Those Aryan races of Indo-Aryan descent

which were called the Mlechchhas by the Indo-Aryans and lived in Jentral Asia sur rounding the Deva Aryans emigrated there from India as has been related in the body of this work in the time of king Sagara. They were followers of their ancestral religion the Vedic religion, though out casted by the Indo-Aryans. They emigrated from central Asia to Europe. The DevaAryans did not emigrate to any place, The first emigration of the Non-Deva Aryan races of Central Asia surrounding the Deva Aryans, was, as our readers are aware, that of the Celts, next of the Teutons and the next again of the Sclaves. The Deva Aryans who once populated the whole tract of conntry from the Caspian sea to what is now called the province of Shenshi east of Kashgar, gradually diminished in number and at last totally disappeared from the earth. The Aryans who emigrated to Europe whether Celts, Teutons, Sclaves, diffused Vedaism wherever they went ; but this Vedaism got intermingled with the gross superstitions of the country to which they emigrated. There was a ceremomy, called Baltan, which was observed by the old Highlanders which resembled the Vedic hom in every respect. There was much in the Druidical religion that was taken from Vedaism such as the custom of the Druids gathering mistletoe (their someplant) on a certain day of the moon. The primitive Indo-Aryans propagated Vedaism in Australia and other countries t The later Indo-Aryans diffused Puranic Hinduism in Sumatra, Java, Bali, Sombak and further east as well as Egypt and Central America by means of navigation and commerce. Sivaism prevailed once in Central America. There was one race which migrated from Asia from the same central spot in which the Aryans lived almost to all countries of the globe before the Aryans. The Aryaus, whereever they went, had to fight with men descended from this stock as they did with their ancestors in Central Asia. These were the Turanians or Asuras (uot the Asura-Aryans + The names of the deities of the aboriginal Maoris were the same as these of the Rigveda. See White's History of the Maoris.
