Guest guest Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Hi, Population growth in earth is not at all a matter for there exists so many planets where living beings of different levels (yakshas,gandharvas,siddhas,rakshasas,devas) exist. There are 14 levels of planetary systems and each level contains innumerable planets of that type.This is in our Sri mad Bhagavatam. So simply a population growth or decrease in earth cannot be an object of speculation regarding emergence of souls. For Advaitists,all mulitple phenomenon are due to Maya and hence there is only one Soul called Brahman which has multiplied itself into many in maya and remains one in knowledge. For dvaitists,all jivatmas and their number are constant and each is atleast distinct in one character from others.They all are eternal as their Master Narayana is eternal.And there are innumerable universes and countless Brahmas ruling them.So a decrease in population in universe may get balanced in some other. For instance when Brahma comes to see Krishna in Dwaraka,Krishna asks him " Which Brahma are you? " and Brahma becomes humble that now only he knows there are so many Brahmas. The leela of God are inconceivable and beyond our logic.Hence only He is God otherwise if we know all of his plans and system He would become a material subject. This God showed to all in Vamana Avathara that he or his pastimes cannot be measured. Hari Bol!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
