Evolution and Religion
(origin of life - origin of life)

Kaivalya Jnani:
Evolution never contradicts religion. Religion is a following of the enlightened masters. The followers of Gautama Buddha are called Buddhists and the religion Buddhism. The following of Jesus Christ is termed as Christianity.

Evolution is a process not controlled by anybody. It just happens to be. Ever since the Cosmos came into being after the big bang, the evolutionary system became inevitable. As the souls atmans after the big bang spread all over the Cosmos... they had to come back to their original pure pristine form and for this they had to manifest body after another.

It is only after a chain of 8.4 million manifestations... a soul atman can gain the original pure pristine form. In the life of a soul atman it is a long earthly life cycle of 96.4 million years. 7.3 million Manifestations are spent as insect life, plant life and animal life. The balance 1.1 million manifestations exist in the human form alone. However best we try... the process of evolution cannot be stopped... not even God Almighty!

Religion is primarily meant for one bodily life. In a single life span as a human being one follows religion. Evolution is a journey of 8.4 million manifestations in the life of a single soul atman. If one desires gaining enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and salvation (moksha)... we need to travel the path of spirituality and not religion.

Religion definitely helps one proceed on the path of spirituality but the nuggets of wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita... the most sacred Scripture of Hinduism is the final answer.

Following Bhagavad Gita in its entirety... one can definitely gain enlightenment and salvation and go to the kingdom of God in ones lifetime (aka Vaikunth in Hinduism).
