Comparative Study Between Dashavatara (Incarnation) and Darwinian Theory of Evolution
Abstract: The word Dashavatara derives from Dasha, meaning “Ten”, and Avatara, roughly equivalent to “Incarnation”. Lord Vishnu manifested in various avatars to safeguard the universe and reinstate “peace and dharma” during the four distinct yugas, or cosmic cycles. The Hindu text Dashavatara, which describes ten forms of Lord Vishnu, has a better developed theory of evolution than the hypothesis put out by English scientist Charles Darwin in the 17th century. Objective …
