'Jnana yoga ( yoga of the intellect ) considers Brahman as the impersonal absolute.': The Upanishads (part of Vedas) say 'Ayamatma Brahma', 'Tat twam asi', 'Aham Brahmasmi'. Where is the Supreme Being?
'Aryan Invasion Theory/Migration theory is counter to the teachings of the Vedas, ..': In what way Aryan Invasion/Migration Theory is contrary to the teachings of the Vedas? That was my question, and you have not answered it.
'The Arya is the name of the indigenous religion and culture that came up in India. Not a race of people which is absurd and idiotic to believe ..': The word 'Aryavarta' or 'Brahmavarta' refers only to the area irrigated by Rivers Saraswati and Drishadvati (roughly modern Haryana). That means that all people in India were not Aryans. Beyond Vindhya Mountains, it was Dakshinavarta, and Sage Agastya was supposedly the first Aryan to cross it. Similarly the movement of Aryans to east along River Ganges is well recorded. If later, the word was used to signify 'a noble and a civilized person', that is besides the point. How do you, then, account for the vast difference in skin-color between people living in North India, some are so fair, and some are so dark (it does not mean that the fair are superior to the dark; but it does mean that they may be from two or more racial groups)?

Aryan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and Aria (modern Herat) at
Aria (satrapy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). Harahvaiti (another equivalent of Saraswati, Aryans usually named the principal river of the region in which they lived as Saraswati), probably Herat and the valley of the River Hari-Rud is mentioned at the tenth homeland of Aryans in Avesta.
'The term also remains a frequent element in modern Persian personal names, including Arya and Aryan (boy's and girl's name), Aryana (a common surname), Iran-Dokht (Aryan daughter, 'Aryan-duhita', a girl's name), Aryanpour (or Aryanpur, a surname), Aryamane, Ary among many others. The terms "Aryan" and "Iranian" are sometimes used interchangeably, as in the Iranian bank chain, Aryan Bank.'
Pancha-janas: 5 tribes namely Anus, Druhus, Yadus, Turvasas and Purus.
* Seven-sistered, sprung from threefold source, the Five Tribes' prosperer, she must be Invoked in every deed of might. (6.61.12)
* Indra who rules with single sway men, riches, and the fivefold race
Of those who dwell upon the earth. (1.7.9)
* All manliness that is in heaven, with the Five Tribes, or in mid-air,
Bestow, ye Asvins, upon us. (8.9.2)
* The Twain invincible in war, worthy to be renowned in frays,
Lords of the Fivefold People, these, Indra and Agni, we invoke. (5.86.2)
* Who for the Fivefold People's take hath seated him in every home
Wise, Youthful, Master of the house. (7.15.2)
* Agni, may we show forth our valour with the steed or with the power of prayer beyond all other men;
And over the Five Races let our glory shine high like the realm of light and unsurpassable. (2.2.10)
The problem is that the Arya Samajis have only one thing to depend upon, the Vedas (of course, as understood by them). That is why they cannot swallow that Aryans may have come from outside India. That will make them foreigners. In my case, I am a hindu, Vedas are not the whole of hinduism to me. My hinduism stands even without Vedas. There are Rama, Krishna, Shiva, Durga, and the many Gods and Goddesses worshiped in the various parts of India.
My hinduism is grounded in the soil of India. If Vedas belonged to people from outside India (and as you know my ancestry might be actual Aryan, and not contrived as of many Arya Samajis), that does not matter to me. Probably my people came to India, gave Sanskrit and Vedas to the indigenous people and adopted the Indian Gods. I think that was a fair exchange. Both were benefited. Because of that, the Aryan tradition survives only in India and is followed even by the people who may not be Aryan. I subscribe to both, the Vedas and to the Gods and Goddesses which are not mentioned in the Vedas. I think my people were wise to merge with the indigenous people of India. Arya Samaj is nothing but a concoction, an artifice.
