Prabhupāda: The junglis, they are not called civilized. They are as good as animals. We . . . in India we say jungli he, jungli. And others say "uncivilized." So Āryan, Āryan means the most civilized group.
Dr. Patel: But presently, sir, the Āryan race are spread the world over.
Prabhupāda: Huh?
Dr. Patel: Right from . . . Āryans are spread the world over right from South America to . . .
Prabhupāda: They were, they were belonging to the Āryan family. The Europeans, they were also Āryan family, and Indians, the Arabians, Persians, they were all Āryan family. And the Americans, they also migrated from Europe. So they are also Āryans. But that is familywise. But actually Āryan means one who is advanced in civilization. That is Āryan. Therefore when Kṛṣṇa chastised Arjuna, He addressed him "non-Āryan." "You are not talking like Āryan." Anārya juṣṭam. "You are talking like non-Āryan." (aside:) Hare Kṛṣṇa.
So Āryan means advanced. The first-class civilized men are the Āryans.
