Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Dear Members, Charles Darwin talks about the evolution of life in “Origin of Species”. Do our scriptures talk anything about evolution? Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji: Vedas can be interpreted in line with Darwinian Theory. For instance, the ten Avatars of Vishnu in proper order are ‘Matsya’ – that can survive in water alone, ‘Koorma’ – that can survive in both water and land, ‘Varaha’ – that survives in land alone, ‘Narasimha’ – half lion and half man, and so on. Another interesting fact in the Sanathana Dharma is that there is a gothra called ‘Kapi Gothra’. As we all know, Gothra specifies the lineage of an individual. ‘Kapi’ in Sanskrit refers to monkey! Is it not in line with Darwin’s theory? However our religion believes that God created all the creatures at once, and not between long intervals as theorized by Darwin.
