HOMOSAPIENS
Humans…who are we? Who created us?
 |
| Adam and Eve |
Adam and Eve
as the origin of all mankind is a fundamental doctrine of the Christian, Jewish
and Islamic faiths. Based on the Old Testament, it is said that GOD created
Adam and Eve around 4004BCE, thus around
6000years ago. This is
also confirmed by many Christians.
The
scientists in the field of human genetics indicted that it’s impossible for the
human population in the world to originate from one couple. Genetic evidence
suggest that there are at least 10,000 variations of human genetics and thus
impossible for this to originate from two people. It’s impossible for the
variety of humans in the world to originate from two individuals, not even in a
million years. The scientists have also proved that humans have existed for
millions of years not just 6000 years. The Abrahamic religions have no idea on
the origin and number of plants and animal species, and they absolutely have no
idea on the population of living beings beyond this planet. The factual
statement in the bible on creation is that GOD is a person with a human like
form (MAHADEV
male form of Supreme soul).
GOD created man in his image and
likeness (Genesis 1:26).
CREATION
At first there was nothing except the Almighty God. Brahman.... Take the link for more
To continue
with the process of creation, Brahma gave birth to a man and a woman from his
own body. The man was named Svayambhuva Manu and the woman was named Shatarupa.
Humans are descended from Manu. That is the reason they are known as Manava.
Manu and Shatarupa had three sons named Vira, Priyavrata and Uttanapada.
Uttanapada's
son was the great Dhruva. In Dhruva's line there was a king named
Prachinavarhi. Prachinavarhi had ten sons, known as the Prachetas. These
Prachetas were supposed to look after the world and rule over it, but they were
not interested in such mundane matters. They went off instead to perform
tapasya under the ocean. The tapasya went on for ten thousand years. The upshot
was that the earth had no ruler and began to suffer. People started to die and
thick forests sprouted everywhere. So thick were the forests that even the
winds could not blow.
News of this
catastrophe reached the Prachetas. They were furious with the trees and created
wind (vayu) and fire (agni) from their mouths. The wind dried up the trees and
the fire burnt them, so that, very soon, there were very few trees left on
earth.
Everyone was
alarmed at the effects of the Prachetas anger. The moon-god Soma (or Chandra)
came to the Prachetas with a beautiful woman and said, "Prachetas, please
control your anger. You need someone to rule over the world so that you can
concentrate on your tapasya. This woman is named Marisha. Her son will rule
over the world".
PRAJAPATI DAKSHA
 |
| Daksha from TV show, Devon ke Dev, Mahadev |
The Prachetas agreed to this
proposal and Daksha was born. The word praja means subject and the word pati
means master. Since Daksha ruled over the world and its subjects, Daksha came
to be known as Prajapati.
Daksha's Offspring...
Daksha's wife was named Asikli, she gave birth to five thousand
sons. They were known as the Haryashvas. The Haryashvas were destined to rule
over the world. But the sage Narada went to the Haryashvas and said, "How
can you rule over the world if you don't even know what the world looks like?
Are you familiar with its geography and its limits? First find out about these
things, before you contemplate ruling over the world."
The Haryashvas went off to explore the world and never returned.
Daksha and Asikli then had another thousand sons who were named the
Shavalashvas. Narada told them what he had told the Haryashvas and the
Shavalashvas also went off to explore the world and never returned.
Daksha and Asikli were distressed that their children should
disappear in this manner. Daksha blamed Narada for the instigation and proposed
to kill him. But Brahma intervened and persuaded Daksha to control his anger.
This Daksha agreed to do, provided that his conditions were met. "Brahma
must marry my daughter Priya," he said. "And Narada must be born as
Priya's son."
These conditions were accepted. In fact, Daksha and Asikli had
sixty daughters. (Elsewhere, the Brahma Purana mentions fifty daughters.) Ten
of these daughters were married to the god Dharma and thirteen to the sage
Kashyapa. Twenty-seven daughters were married to Soma or Chandra. The remaining
daughters were married to the sages Arishtanemi, Vahuputra, Angirasa and
Krishashva.
The ten daughters
who were married to the God Dharma were named Arundhati, Vasu, Yami, Lamba,
Bhanu, Marutvati, Sankalpa, Muhurta. Sadhya and Vishva. Arundhati's children
were the objects (vishaya) of the world. Vasu's children were the eight gods
known as the Vasus. Their names were Apa, Dhruva, Soma, Dhara, Salila, Anala,
Pratyusha and Prabhasa. Anala's son was Kumara. Because Kumara was brought up
by goddesses known as the Krittikas, he came to be called Kartikeya. Prabhasa's
son was Vishvakarma. Vishvakarma was skilled in architecture and the making of jewellery.
He became the architect of the Gods.
Sadhya's children were the gods known as Sadhyadevas and Vishva's
children were the gods known as Vishvadervas. The twenty-seven daughters of
Daksha who were married to Soma are known as the nakshatras (stars).
As you have already been told,
Kashyapa married thirteen of Daksha's daughters. Their names were Aditi, Diti,
Danu, Arishta, Surasa, Khasa, Surabhi, Vinata. Tamra, Krodhavasha, Ila, Kadru
and Muni.
Aditi's sons were the twelve gods known as the adityas. Their names
were Vishnu (Vamana avatar) , Shakra, Aryama, Dhata, Vidhata, Tvashta, Pusha,
Vivasvana, Savita, MitraVaruna, Amsha and Bhaga.
Diti's sons were the daityas (demons). They were named Hiranyaksha
and Hiranyakashipu, and amongst their descendants were several other powerful
daityas liked Bali and Banasura. Diti also had a daughter named Simhika who was
married to a danava (demon) named Viprachitti. Their offspring's were terrible
demons like Vatapi, Namuchi, Ilvala, Maricha and the nivatakavachas.
The hundred sons of Danu came to be known as danavas. The danavas
were thus cousins to the daityas and also to the adityas. In the danava line
were born demons like the poulamas and kalakeyas.
Arishta's sons were the gandharvas (singers of heaven). Surasa gave
birth to the snakes (sarpa). Khasa's children were the yakshas (demi-gods who
were the companions of Kubera, the god of wealth) and the rakshasas (demons).
Surabhi's descendants were cows and buffaloes.
Vinata had two sons named Aruna and
Garuda. Garuda became the king of the birds. Tamra has six daughters. From
these daughters were born owls, eagles, vultures, crows, water-fowl, horses,
camels and donkeys.
Krodhavasha had fourteen thousand children known as
nagas (snakes). Ila gave birth to trees, creepers, shrubs and bushes. Kadru's
sons were also known as nagas or snakes. Among the more important of Kadru's
sons were Ananta, Vasuki, Takshaka and Nahusha.
Muni gave birth to the apsaras (dancers of heaven).
Diti's children (daityas) and Auditi's children (adityas) continually fought
amongst themselves.

ANCIENT ALIEN THEORY???
Proponents of ancient astronaut hypotheses often maintain that humans are either descendants or creations of extraterrestrial beings who landed on Earth thousands of years ago. An associated idea is that much of human knowledge, religion, and culture came from extraterrestrial visitors in ancient times, in that ancient astronauts acted as a "mother culture". Ancient astronaut proponents also believe that travelers from outer space known as "astronauts" or "spacemen" built many of the structures on earth such as the pyramids in Egypt and the Moai stone heads ofEaster Island or aided humans in building them.
Swami Nalanda's answer: " Seeing the above described way of creation.You may have understood that unlike Abrahamic religion, the Vedic religion had given a more logical way of creating different living beings....YES, how logical??? how can a man and women produce different beings other than humans. Here we are not talking of ordinary humans. People like Daksha, Dharma, Kashyapa etc were extra ordianry and "EXTRA TERRESTRIAL". HA...I do not mean all alien stuff, greys etc...i just mean that they were not from Earth. For explaining it to the new generation brainies :- Daksha and his league must have used advanced technology "PURE BIOLOGY" in creating different beings from their cells. In this way "Ancient Alien Theory" coincides with the Puranic Theory in VEDAS. I never say that evolution theory is nonsense as it can be illustrated by the 10 avatars of God Mahavishnu. The problem we come across while reading thses puranas is that, in the above describtion there is not refers of Humans, as you may have observed...from this we can understand that humans had slowly evoluted...while human like being lived along...
Please observe the picture above...
Matsya, is the first avatar of Mahavishnu. Its said that life was first formed on seas. More about Matsya avatar....
"Early accounts of the Deluge equate Matsya with the Vedic deity Prajapati. TheShatapatha Brahmana is the earliest extant text to mention Matsya and the flood myth in Hinduism. It identifies the fish with Prajapati-Brahma. The central characters are the fish (Matsya) and Vaivasvata Manu or Satyavrata who becomes the progenitor of mankind. In this version, Vaivasvata Manuor Satyavrata accidentally catches a small fish in his hands, while bathing. The fish is Matsya, who asks Vaivasvata Manu for life and protection; in return he promises to save Vaivasvata Manu from an impending flood; and Matsya knows exactly when this is to happen. Vaivasvata Manu agrees to help; so Matsya tells him to place him in a jar of water, and keep him safe. When Matsya has outgrown the jar, Vaivasvata Manu must dig a pit, fill it with water and place him in it. When Matsya outgrows the pit, Vaivasvata Manu should transfer him to the ocean. By then, he will be big enough to survive; he will be indestructible, and will help Vaivasvata Manu survive the flood. Meanwhile, Vaivasvata Manu should build himself a boat. Vaivasvata Manu does exactly as the fish has instructed and eventually releases Matsya, now fully grown, into the ocean. At the appointed time, the deluge comes; Vaivasvata Manu boards his boat and the waters rise to cover the earth. Vaivasvata Manu calls on Matsya for help. Matsya swims to the ship and Vaivasvata Manu ropes his vessel to the horn that has grown on Matsya's head. Then Matsya tows the ship to the safety of the highest and driest ground, at the northern mountains (interpreted as the Himalayas). Vaivasvata Manu ties the ship to a tree, disembarks, and then slowly descends the mountain along with the now subsiding water. Vaivasvata Manu finds himself the sole survivor on earth; all others have been washed away by the floods. Vaivasvata Manu then takes on the task of creating the Human race. Seeking procreation, he practices austerities and worships the gods by performing sacrifices, offering butter, milk, curds and ghee (clarified butter) to the sacrificial fire. Within a year, his prayers are answered; a beautiful woman called Shraddha appears. He marries her, and together they initiate the race of Manu."
Vaivasvata Manu, whose original name was Satyavrata, is the 7th Manu and considered the first king to rule this earth, who saved humanity from thegreat flood — after being warned of it by the Matsya avatar of Vishnu,who had also advised him to build a giant boat. The story is mentioned in early Hindu scriptures such as the Satapatha Brahmana, and it has often been compared with the popular traditions of a Great Deluge from other cultures around the world, particularly that of Noah's Ark. Because Manu was believed to be absolutely honest, he was initially known as Satyavrata ("One with the oath of truth"). Vaivasvata Manu ruled as King Manu. His wife was Sraddha.
Now look into the picture above...
After Mathya (FISH) came Kurma (Tortoise) . Tortoise as you know is an amphibian. Then came Varaha( Wild boar), a beast. Then came Narasimha ( Half man-half lion). then was Vamana, a brahmin who was a complete man with knowledge. Then was Parasurama , he with his divine weapon from God Shiva killed all kshatriyas( Sinners). Kshatriyas are the mortals who are descended from the Devas themselves and are kings of countries. Then came Lord Ramachandra, he was a Kshatriya born in the Solar Dynasty of King ( Descendants of Sun God).
Lord Rama was a great ruler and a complete man who fought for justice and truth. Then came Lord Krishna, he is the most famous among the Hindu deities...He was also a king, he was cool, strong and also used some unfair means to protect JUSTICE AND TRUTH...He proclaimed that "IF WE PROTECT DHARMA (Justice) IT SHALL ALSO PROTECT YOU". His holy Bhagvad Gita can still be used as a guide in this wicked world we live in. Comparing Lord Ram and Lord Krishna, we see that Krishna did many miracles,he had a divine weapon called Sudarshan gifted to Mahavishnu by God Shiva, with which he destroyed evil, he had many wifes and led a luxurious life... its said that he never aged...he always remained young. While Lord Ram lead the life of an ordinary human and destroyed Demon King Ravana and his empire. Then came "Buddha", he was born in the age of prophets and teachers. He taught people universal peace and non violence. NEXT IS KALKI...At the end of this Yuga or Era, Lord Kalki will come to destroy the sinner and start a new Era of Truth and Justice.
