\nSir Erasmus Darwin belonged
\nto the Lunar Society. He was impressed by two Indian
\ntheories.<\/strong><\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>1) Theory of Metempsychosis or
\nRebirth<\/strong><\/span>
<\/span>2) Theory of the Ten
\nIncarnations<\/strong><\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>Evolution states that Life began from the sea and
\nthat our primordial anc<\/strong><\/span>estors were aquatic.<\/p>\n

The Ten Incarnations Theory (
\nDasa Avataras ) is allegorical and symbolic. Life came from the sea ( Matsya
\nAvatara ) and the unicellular amoeba evolved and evolved, into plants, into apes
\nand then into man. Man then becomes Enlightened ( The Buddha ) and this is the
\nGoal of Life, Self Actualisation ( parama purushartha = moksha )
\n.<\/p>\n

Regarding, Metempsychosis. Aurobindo averred “It is illogical to assume
\nthat Plato and the Hottentot and the fortunate child of the Rishies and the
\nsaints have to realise in this very birth their eternal future. ” So for the
\nEvolution of Consciousness, which is behind the Evolution of the Species, there
\nhave to be many lives.<\/p>\n

The East India Company, via Sir Erasmsus Darwin,
\ntook these two theories to the Western world. Sir Eramsus Darwin evolved a new
\ntheory out of it – The Theory of Evolution.<\/p>\n

Later on, his grandson,
\nCharles Darwin, established this theory in the scientific world, as the Law of
\nEvolution, in his Origin of the Species !<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
