“You mean the holocaust?” Maya was surprised
“Not really that but it could be one of the indirect outcomes…”
Maya had inkling, “Is it the about the pure race… the Aryans… the Swastika…”
Aryan was upset. He was brought up in

Maya was aware of the myths around Aryans which become complicated since many westerners eyed it with suspicion. The confusion was if Aryanism relates to a culture or race i.e. the breed of people. In 1938, Heinrich Himmler organized a search in
Maya protested, “The Nazis were a perverted lot. No one in his absolute mind can justify the holocaust, the cleansing… but…” she paused.
“…but …what?”
“Yes… but whatever the Nazis did, it cannot alter the facts. The facts and the studies… Does not your science of Anthropology talks about races… the whites, the blacks and the Mongoloid race…?” Maya was angry.
“Stop this discussion…”
“Hold this carefully with your both hands...” Jürgen said gently explaining the skinny old man, how to hold the baton like object.
The old man looked at the strange object and winked before extending his hand. Jürgen placed the object in his hands. The object was heavier then expected and the old man was surprised. The object was not only heavy but also cold, rather very cold. The old man was puzzled holding this strange, alien object, something he had never seen or visualized.
The object was in the shape of a trapezium, about eight inches tall, the top about two square inches and the bottom of four square inches. The object was freezing cold. The surface was shining as if it was greasy. The texture was translucent like an unpolished sapphire. The color was deep purple.
The purple trapezium was cold and the old man felt as if the object will drop from his hands and he pleadingly looked at Jürgen for his help.
“Yes… here… give it to me…” Jürgen took back the object from the old man and told him in a thankful gesture.
The
World War II war crime tribunal, the special court setup to prosecute the Nazi regime for the crimes committed on the German soil as well as the occupied territories. The tribunal pronounced the judgment on Emanuel Kerstin, the personal masseur of Herr Heinrich Himmler.
Alexandra was heartbroken as she tightly clutched the hands of her young son Jürgen Kirsten. She looked across the hall, at her husband who was looking back at her.
There was no remorse in his eyes as he looked at Alexandra. He smiled at her, smiled in pain, smiled resolutely, his jaws clenching.
“I am not worried how the world will know me. I am not worried what the people will say. I am dying for the cause which my master believed and I wish that my son carry on the same wishes…. Alexandra… promise me that my son will learn what I have learnt… Alexandra… promise me that my son will understand the cause for which I have laid my life…” Emanuel Kirsten spoke to his wife thirty minutes before his sentence was served.
Not a tear came from Alexandra’s eyes as she looked for the last time at her husband. Jürgen was too young to understand the world around him. Emanuel cuddled his baby son last time as the matron told them that the meeting time was over.
Emanuel was quick to earn the trust and confidence of the Nazi army. He soon became a close confidant of Heinrich Himmler, the left hand man of Adolph Hitler.
Emanuel adored and worshipped Heinrich Himmler. Almost every other day, he would fall in debate with Rudolf about the philosophy and the ideas of Heinrich Himmler. Emanuel did not realize when he became part of the Nazi army.
“We are a pure race… whereas the Jews are impure… they are the ordinary humans of this planet…” Emanuel boasted to his friends.
His arguments led to the claim that Nordic peoples of northern
Emanuel spent time in gathering more information about the pure race. He learnt that H.P. Blavatsky, the founder of Theosophical Society in US, believed that the humanity had descended from a series of ‘Root Races’, naming the fifth root race out of the seven as the Aryan race. She thought that the Aryans originally came from Atlantis, which was part of the fourth Root Race. The Aryan Root Race was only one more step in the evolutionary progress and it would eventually be superseded by a more spiritual Root Race, the sixth. She believed that the Semitic peoples were later Aryans who have become ‘degenerated in spirituality and perfected in materiality’ However, she did not encourage any feeling of superiority by any person or race, spreading the idea of the common origin and destiny of all humanity, and establishing the principle of universal brotherhood as the First Object of the Theosophical Society. She said that the Theosophists respect the Bible as much as they do the sacred scriptures like the Vedas, the Zend-Avesta.
“They did not preach Aryan supremacy like the esoteric and occult racial theories of Adolph Hitler” Emanuel told Alexandra Kirsten.
When the war ended, Emanuel was convicted by the Nuremberg Trial courts and was found guilty of being a party to the holocaust. The day before he was hanged to death, Rudolf met Emanuel who handed him two manuscripts; one was Gita which was the personal copy of Heinrich Himmler. The second manuscript was an old worn out script, appeared to be in tatters which was carefully tied together. The script was written in some ancient language that he did not understand. The Nazi symbol of Swastika was engraved on the worn out thick cover of the book.
