Abstract

Gautama Buddha called himself an Aryan. His philosophy is called the “Aryan Way.” Japan, according to the latest archeological evidence, was also an Aryan society. That is the reason it is important to know the origin of the Aryan values and traditions. Vedic literature is the origin of Aryan thought. Aranyaks and Upanishads are philosophical explanations of the four Vedas. Rig Veda narrates the origin of the creation, the early history of the Aryans, various deities and their origin from ultimate Brahman, early social system, and adorations of the spirits of Brahman. Indian Veda became Avesta in ancient Persia. Vedic God Mitra, the Sun in Sanskrit language, became Mithra in Persia and became the God of War in the Roman Empire. The same Mitra became Apollo, the sun-god in Greece. This spread of Aryan culture was narrated in Puranas, which describes, in Sanskrit, the history of the world from the beginning and the evolution of human being.
