The youth of Hitler's Germany were in very much the same predicament as the youth today, they had been dragged into wars of Judeo-Christian prophecy, they had been swept up, chewed up and spit out by both the Capitalists and the Communists, and they had become educated enough to realize that their lives had once been very different in a bucolic Pagan past. Hitler and his associates were profound occultists, they devoured as much of the remaining Pagan texts as were available and steeped themselves in Germanic Neo-Paganism which had been heavily poisoned with Theosophy and Christian esoterocism. From this mix of misery and disinformation, the Nazis attempted to revive a Pagan past in Secular/Christian clothing. However, without the moderating effect of organic culture, without a continuous Pagan history of cause and effect, the Nazis engaged in infantile racism, unstable idealism and self-serving romanticism which eventually imploded their empire from within.
I was triggered to write this post after I saw someone share a picture from a facebook page entitled "Aryan Men In Wheat Fields". The picture showed a Germanic looking man holding up bushels of wheat The picture carries the quote: “The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings.” — Masanobu Fukuoka (Japanese farmer and philosopher). There are many references in Nazi literature which I will not reference here glorifying an agricultural German "Aryan" past. There was a tendency among Nazis then a now to juxtapose agricultural diet and civilization verse that which is found in the Bible, a herding civilization and meat eating. The Israelites were a nomadic tribe of sheep herders who had no civilization of their own but planned to steal the lands of advanced Pagan people. The kindly and generous Pagans of the Bible of whom the Israelites dupe, destroy and enslave, are featured as industrious agriculturalists. Going on Biblical description of Pagans and what would seem to be the extent of German racial memory, Nazis then and now posited that their ancient Pagan "nobility" had been cultivated in the wheat fields in Europe before the arrival of the herding and parasitic mentality of Judeo-Christianity. Let me share a quote from one website which I found recently which may sum up this mentality:
Aryan diet is completely different because it developed from the Neolithic domestication of cereals (wheat, barley, rice, millet, sorghum, maize, quinoa, etc.). The word “meal” itself refers to milled grain (from root “mel-” meaning “to grind”), encapsulating the Aryan conception of food as cereal-based. The word “military” also derives ultimately from the same root, referring to an assembly of people to whom food was distributed in equal portions, which is only precisely practicable with cereal food.
“The fact that the smallest military unit was the section is explained by the fact that each man had a mill for grain.” – Adolf Hitler
This Nazi ideal of a wheat and grain diet is interesting, because this ideal to some degree may show the extend of Europe's mythological and racial memory. What does Hinduism say about food and food ideals? Questions of diet and the treatment of animals is perhaps one of the most discussed topics in Hindu religion and society. What a person eats and how they eat very much determine where they fit into Hindu society, which sect they are welcome in, and which scriptures and deities they make as the center of their practice. While their is a great degree of tolerance between sects as to dietary preference, there is always some friction between those who prefer a vegetarian diet vs those who allow meat, there is also the question of hunting, herding and whether or not Hindus can eat cows. However, the major leaning of Hindu diet has always leaned toward vegetarianism, without prohibiting meat eating. But is there any ideal Hindu diet?
Hindu diversity of religious restrictions on food come from the diversity of diets in Hindu scriptures. The vast majority of sacrifices in the Vedas involve an herbal drink called Soma. However, there are very rare instances of animal sacrifice and even the eating of horses in the Vedas. While a vegetarian diet is not demanded in the Vedas, the fact that animal sacrifices and meat eating is very rare would indicate that their is an implied ideal of vegetarianism. However, the Vedas speak of a time when the Arya were more nomadic and involved in warfare, Hinduism is a naturalistic ethic and so it is likely that there would have to be obvious accommodations for the eating of meat in order for the tribes to survive.
14 He in whom horses, bulls, oxen, and barren cows, and rams, when duly set apart, are offered up,— To Agni, Soma-sprinkled, drinker of sweet juice, Disposer, with my heart I bring a fair hymn forth. - Rig Veda 10.91.14
10 Food undigested steaming from his belly, and any odour of raw flesh remaining, This let the immolators set in order and dress the sacrifice with perfect cooking. 11 What from thy body which with fire is roasted, when thou art set upon the spit, distilleth, Let not that lie on earth or grass neglected, but to the longing Gods let all be offered. 12 They who observing that the Horse is ready call out and say, the smell is good; remove it; And, craving meat, await the distribution,—may their approving help promote labour. 13 The trial-fork of the flesh-cooking caldron, the vessels out of which the broth is sprinkled, The warming-pots, the covers of the dishes, hooks, carving-boards,—all these attend the Charger. - Rig Veda 1.162.10-13
However things change slightly in later texts which were produced after the rise of urban civilization. There is no absolute authority in Hindu scripture, only dense and related texts, each which offers a philosophy of way of life that is at least mildly based in the Vedic cannon. There is a majority opinion in these later works toward the ethical practice of vegetarianism and there are also many which strictly forbid the eating of meat or the killing of animals. However there are also still many examples of respected Hindu kings and heroes who ate meat and hunted. The question of whether one can kill cows is highly controversial, but all I will say here is that there are varying opinions. If vegetarianism is an ideal which Hindus strive for, but one in which we also make accommodations, is our vegetarian ideal one of a grain producing agricultural society?
It is true that later Hindu scriptures do show a heavy grain based agricultural economy; wheat, barley, rice, these are all staple foods in modern Hindus society and are featured heavily in Hindu rituals, But as Hindus we also know that we are currently living in the Kali Yuga, the age of vice and ignorance. Hindu India has preserved the Vedic light of the Arya to the greatest extent, however even India is far from its ancient glory. With the Kali Yuga in mind, the Puranas tell us of the Yuga Cycles and how people eat during each Yuga. There are Four Yugas: Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dvapara Yuga , and Kali Yuga. Satya Yuga is the "golden age" and Kali Yuga is the age of "confusion" with diminishing human intelligence and nobility in between. So how do people eat in each of these Yugas? The Puranas teach us that in Satya Yuga there is no agriculture, the water is freely available and so trees grown plentiful and people live off the fruit of these trees and make their living off of fruit trade. The Puranas also teach us that agriculture and animal husbandry do not appear until the next Yuga, the Treta Yuga. Morals begin to decline and so does the abundant water supply, the trees begin to disappear and humans must resort to tilling the ground. In Dwarpa Yuga humans begin fighting over these agricultural lands and in Kali Yuga there are famines and revolutions.
In Satya Yuga, water was always freely available. This was no longer the case in Treta Yuga.Water only became available when it rained. Rain was unknown earlier. And as it rained, trees began to grow. People lived on these trees. The fruit from these trees provided the sustenance required to make a living. But gradually, anger and jealousy came to be known and many of the wonderful trees disappeared as mankind picked up evils ways. However, enough trees were leftto ensure that people did not die of starvation. They lived on honey gathered from the trees.
Although men looked on Satya Yuga with nostalgia, ill-health and disease continued to be unknown even in Treta Yuga. But towards the end of Treta Yuga, people became really sinful.All the trees disappeared. To make a living, mankind had to resort to agriculture and animal husbandry. The weather became inclement and seasons like summer, monsoon and winter led to hardship. Notions of property were also introduced. Individuals appropriated mountains, rivers,land, trees and herbs as their own. To instil righteousness in the minds of people, the principles of varna ashrama dharma were set out towards the end of Treta Yuga.
In Dvapara Yuga, hatred, anger and jealousy became much more common. Fighting started. It was then that Veda Vyasa spread amongst ordinary people, the knowledge that was in the Vedas,by dividing them. Drought, death and disease came to be known in Dvapara Yuga.
In Kali Yuga, fraudulence is the norm. There are severe droughts and famines. Revolutions take place. - Kurma Purana
There is something that we should take note of here, the Nazis idealized an agricultural past, but according to Hinduism this is not of the golden age but the Treta Yuga where morality and intelligence has declined by 75%. Did German Paganism and German racial memory only go as far as the Treta Yuga? There are many who put forth the creditable "Out Of India Theory"; the languages of Europe and Hindu India are related, but Sanskrit is deemed to be the oldest and most precise of these related languages. Also the Vedas are a centralized hierarchy, a bound religion, while the related ethnic religions of ancient Europe were all related to each other but not woven into a single religion. The law of entropy would lead some to believe that the Indus River Valley was the source of the Arya population who then migrated north into Europe where their language and religion slowly mutated and in some ways disintegrated. Could it be that the German Paganism which the Nazi's could only reconstruct was the product of the Treta Yuga? Or perhaps it is even the Dwarpa Yuga as agriculture did not appear until the end of the Treta Yuga and it was in Dwarpa Yuga when military culture appeared.
Going back to Hinduism, even though India does not have a majority grain diet and agricultural commerce, our rituals and pujas do seem to point back to this Satya Yuga fruit eating ideal. While we are told in Puranas that idols do not appear until the later age as people's ability to perceive higher forces diminishes, there is a tendency to offer our symbolic "gods" fruit above other forms of food. While grains and even cooked food offerings have become common in this late age, there is still a preponderance of fruit at our Pujas and fruit is likely the most prescribed offering found in ritual texts. This tradition of fruit offering likely serves as a reminder of our ideal diet.
Nothing can change the revolutionary spirit which is sweeping the West, but whose revolution will it be and how will it effect the world? Judeo-Christianity and Globalist Leftism are at each other's throats, but both of these systems are held in great suspicion by the youth as they have lived under their deceptive tyranny for so long. As these two megaliths duel one another, Nazism and Fascism are creeping in as the alternative, an alternative with an alluring mystique and a history of opposing the status quo. Besides the fact that this generation has not experienced Nazism for themselves, and thus they have a romantic notion of how it will play out in reality, Nazism also has a deceptive air of the Arya, a spark of ancient Paganism, but how ancient? The Nazi ideal is a grain producing agricultural society, but according to Hinduism this is the ideal of the Tetra Yuga. The Hindu ideal is a society where there is no agriculture but one simply eats the fruit of the trees. Now these are ideals, and so they are not immediately practical, but they do say something about the difference between what Hinduism offers and what Nazism offers, the difference between the true Arya spirit and a degraded counterfeit. Agriculture is the ideal of the Treta Yuga, the first declined age, fruit is the ideal of the Satya Yuga, the age of the gods. The German Paganism upon which Nazism rests is likely a Treta Yuga invention, a decline in Vedic virtues. But there is a deeper significance; the Nazis have an obsession with proving their lack of parasitism, their supposed non-exploitation, yet agriculture necessarily destroys life within the earth and forces it to produce crops which exhaust the ground. Science has recently shown that plants do indeed feel pain and know they are being eaten. The Hindu fruit ideal is one of true mutualism, fruit is the only food product which is given to us freely, the tree or plant wants us to take the fruit as this is its means of reproduction. The youth of today have a choice, they can take the route of exploitation and hide their inadequacies with violence, they can reap the wheat they sow, or they can look to a higher idea and reach for fruit, the fruit of true Arya Hinduism.
