This is not a blog about the new film "Avatar" by James Cameroon.

This blog is to show the world that what  modern science has drafted about evolution of man was actually conceived  by Indian Puranas before thousand of years and was visible to naked eyes. 

It was in broad day light visible to human eyes and audible to ears yet kept as secret wide open. Ok . I am not going to bring in Robert Langdon to the picture.He is Dan Brown's proprietary character. But something of the same sort.

If you analyze the avatars of Vishnu , you can see that it narrates the story of evolution of man.

First lets take a look at the 10 avatars of vishnu

Matsya         - The avatar in which Vishnu took the form of Fish
Kurma          - The avatar in which Vishnu took the form of Tortoise
Varaha         - The avatar in which Vishnu took the form of Pig
narasimha     - The avatar in which Vishnu took the form of Lion
Vamana       - The avatar in which Vishnu took the form of dwarf man.
Parshurama  - The avatar in which Vishnu took the form of Warrior
rama            - The avatar in which Vishnu took the form of  Ruler
Krishna        - The avatar in which Vishnu took the form of  Wise man
Kalki           - The destroyer of the world
I have left one avatar (balarama) as it is in sync with krishna .

Now lets look at Ernst Haeckel 's  tree of life that describes the evolution of man

It illustrates the process in which darwin's On the Origin of Species  has been inspired to chart out the tree.I am not going to completely retell what all would have studied in the school about evolution.But let me make it crisp : The human organism has evolved from microbes to aquatic animals to amphibians that came to land from sea to mammals to short apes to human
Now lets see the civilization part : Man wandered the forest . He invented tools to help him in hunting and other stuffs.Then he started farming and built villages. As the civilizations grown,kingdoms were formed. Due to surplus of kingdoms, wars took place between them for resources such as land,gold etc.

The  first avatar of vishnu is fish , then Tortoise which is an amphibian.
The next avatar is pig  , which is an omnivore.It eats both plants and animals.
The next is lion.It is interesting to note that until the late Pleistocene, which was about 10,000 years ago, the lion was the most widespread large land mammal after humans.
The next is dwarf man , which could be equated to the short apes (Semi apes in the above tree)
The next is the Warrior. The man who prowled the earth with his tools and was a hunter by occupation

The next avatars are self explanatory once you have read the post until this line.


I am not here to proclaim that Hindus invented theory of evolution but i am pointing out that this theory has ancient roots.This is because , as a patron of Hinduism  i adhere to the saying to krishna (The last avatar of vishnu)


As repeatedly proclaimed by Dan brown , science and religion are not different.
