Evolution of Mankind

    The creation of the universe- almost from the beginning of the appearance of a mass of stellar dusty cloud in the form of a man (purusha) with a head, trunk and stretched legs as depicted in the images obtained from the latest Telescopic camera to the birth of stars and galaxies down to the Star belching out flames that formed into planets like Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and the Rahu and Ketu  (Pluto excluded due to its behavior), as well as, the Moon, a satellite of the Earth. The living beings so far found only on earth may also exist elsewhere and we may not know it! This logically speaking, the Sun is Hiranyagarbha, Golden Womb, that gave birth to Planets and the Mother Earth gives birth to living beings. Then Sun is the Mother of the Earth and other Planets. As the Divine Mother, the Sun supports life on earth and the Earth as our Divine Mother feeds and clothes us and provides shelter too. Then Who is the Divine Father? Bhagavan Shree Krishna says, "I am the Purusha who puts seeds in the womb and create all jivas". (Gita). Narayana is the Father. Whatever the mythological statements, the modern scientific versions do not differ in any way from that.

    The Sun is chief source of light, heat and energy on earth and all living beings including vegetal kingdom depend on sunlight.This Light has seven colors and and the fringe of the VIBGYOR band is under serious study by scientists. This Light has been the source of not only the light, but also it is the source of all energy, sound, gravitational force and electricity and magnetism. Time begins with radiation and we have atomic clocks which record accurate time across the globe. Thus we have the preliminary requirements for life are satisfied. But, this will not explain the aspects of manas, buddhi and ahankar of the jivas. These are explained in the spiritual texts like the Ahirbudhnya Samhita in detail and we quote a few paragraphs from that..

   "Aniruddha, by the fervor of yoga, evolved the original element of Time in its twofold form as 'kaala' and 'niyati'.He also evolved the original energy as guna into three -sattva, rajas, and tamas, in succession." There are also diverse views expressed in this regard.. Some say, from sattva evolve rajas and tamas and some say from tamas evolved rajas and tamas. Some say, it is the disequilibrium of these three gunas that cause creation and equilibrium of these will be the end of the creation. Actually, all the three exist in different proportions in the living beings. Man is sattvic in the early morning and becomes rajasic in the day time and becomes sattvic in the evning and becomes tamasic at night.  Also there can be a highly rajasic or tamasic, or sattvic persons for most part of the day and night.Thus, these gunas or qualities exhibited by man depends on the food andwater he /she consumes, too. There is no certainty as to who is totally sattvic or tamasic or rajasic and none of these ever count when the jiva seeks moksha. The jiva seeking moksha should transcend the three gunas.  "Nistraigunyobhavaarjuna; tasmad yogirbhavaarjuna, says Shree Krishna."
