Dear Bhagavathas this information is very good...... thankyou very much jai srimannarayana vijay.iyengar@xxxxxxxxx wrote: Dear Bhagavathas, All are creations and evolutions of God. The saying " Aham BrahmAsmi" has a lot of meaning. All are incarnations of God, even us too. We all are his creations as a part of Maya Leela. I was once reading the biography of Swami Vivekananda. I came across this. On his first meeting with Sri Ramakrishna, Narendra(Swami Vivekananda before becoming Sanyasi) asks him , where he finds. Sri Ramakrishna replies "right in front of me". After a while , he says "in you and also in me, He is everywhere". Mysteries of mankind and inter-woven mysteries of evolution are really good to feel. Such info must be shared to know how Jnana itself has evolved in time.

Tks. But, if you compare this with our list and the evolution of Man, ours stand the scientific scrutiny.
