Manu or monkey??

Hare Krishna and dandavat pranam to all prabhujees and matajis!!! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!! A question often comes in my mind that if Manu  is considered as the first man by Srimad Bhagavatam,and we, his descendants(manav), why is it said that we have evolved from monkeys? If all monkeys have evolved into humans, how is it that monkeys still exist??

    Hare Krishna Prabhuji. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhuapada.

    Actually human came from monkey is a philosophy of a monkey -Darwin. So don't bother with this.

  • Hare Krishna Prabhujee, i don't want to spark a debate on the theory of evolution not because it is beyond our understanding but it is a sub system. Therefore i will resort to the bhagvatam explanation with the help of bhagavad gita. Everybody is forced to act by the modes of material nature. These modes are acquired over a period of time and can be overcome through various processes of which the gradual development of love of Godhead is the best and surest way. Now if we address your question:

    1) Some nerd had the idea we have evolved from monkeys.

    2) As to the second question monkeys exist because not all monkeys have evolved into humans.

                I would like to ask you have you heard of the "planet of the apes"?:)

    Prabhuji that opinion about monkeys is already not taught at the schools.
