Homo Futuris Options

[shivani]

I was watching a program , which suggests that Apes evolved into Homo Sapiens, not only because of adaption, but also that the process was driven by some genes inside us. We remembered what we have to become, and that memory helped us become human.

But the process is not yet over. We are still evolving.
Most of the information available is in french though .

Any other info on same??

Yes Lalitha, we have always read that Balaram was the avatar of Shesha, just as Laxman too was.

Interesting points are, Shesha is Vishnu's assistant in many ways, and will always agree to do what Vishnu wants.

But Balaram often is doing things that do not fall in line with Krishna's thinking. For instance, his fondness for Duryodhana is way beyond his fondness for the Pandavas. Also, he isn't a big player on the Mahabharat scene. Why?

I haven't learnt sanskrit conventionally, so this dashaavtarstutistotra is not open to detailed interpretation from me.

But going by general logic, I had said that the quiet and peaceful ways of Buddha do not tie in easily with the avataars. However, it is just a thought. In a way even Waman was a quiet fella...

And if there weren't so many pointers, I'd have been tempted to believe that Shivaji was the Kalki - avatar...

Have heard somewhere that Sheshnag was tired of being younger brother and taking orders and so he told Vishnu that in next incarnation he would be the elder one and ended up being Balaram in Krishna-avataar. Not sure about the authenticity of this story.
