caste hirearchy

[Guest guest]

The sequence of avatars of Vishnu tell us two

things.The first one is evolution process and the

second is the caste hirearchy.

 

1.matsya - Fish -which lives in water

2.Kurma - Tortoise-amphibian

3.Varaha - pig - which lives in land

4.Narasimha - a hybrid between between animal and

the next avatar man.

5.Vamana - dwarf -brahmin

6. Parasurama -man - brahmin

7. Rama - man -kshathriya

8. balarama-man - yadava

9.krishnan - man - yadava.

the evolution is always from lower to higher forms of

life.the caste hirearchy which is free from individual

perceptions/interpretations is evident from the

above.One has to understand that everyone has a role

to play,duty yo perform which has to be free from

comparisons.

krishnan

p.s.medical research has shown that pigs blood is

closest to that of human blood.maybe someone should

study the tortoise too?

1. i don't think that most world religions including hinduism ascribe

to the evolutionary theory. the first human was manu - after the

pralaya.

2. in the varaha avatar, lord vishnu takes the form of a boar (with

tusks) - not exactly a pig. once could say the pig evolved from the

old world wild boar.

3. the bhagavatham says that there are 22 or 23 (i forget) avatars of

vishnu.

4. lord krishna was not a yadava by birth - he was a kshatriya.

5. sometimes buddha is regarded as an avatar of vishnu in place of

balarama. buddha was deemed as a false preacher to convert the demons

into buddhists. but the first reference to this is in the vishnu

purana.

6. the parasurama avatar was to destroy the race of kshatriyas -

before the first appearance of the kshatriya avatar (that of rama).

of course, rama and parasurama even met for a duel which the former

won, according to the ramayana (and the mahabharatha).

 

in the bhagavad-gita, lord krishna gives the reason for the avatars -

 

"whenever dharma is endangered in this world, i incarnate to re-

establish dharma, to protect the sadhus, and to destroy the evil

elements of the society."

 

i'm not sure if its proper to talk about evolution of man and the

caste system on the basis of avatars.

 

the sequence of avatars is just a part of the cyclic manifestation -

each cosmic cycle has four yugas (one or two avatars in each yuga)

followed by the pralaya which destroys the physical world. the whole

cycle is repeated for a kalpa after which the subtle world is also

destroyed. if i'm not mistaken, there is a "mahapralaya" which

destroys even brahma. then, the entire process is repeated again and

again (much like the big-bang, big-contraction theories).

 

regards,

prabhu.
