No matter how much science has progressed in the world, it has still not been able to find out who created this world and how man came into existence in the world. This question comes to our mind many times. But many religious books and facts discovered by science give us the answer to this question, but they are incomplete.
who created us
According to Hindu beliefs, our world has been created by God, but how the human race was born after an era of development and how this race developed its way of living on earth is the most important question for us. But who was that human being who brought us to earth?
who was the first human
But on top of this question, there is another question as to who was the first human being. Where did it come from and who was its creator? His coming into the world and at what time are these questions whose answers every human being wants to know. Because we all have the same foundation due to which we all have arisen.
What does the Purana say?
According to our Hindu religion, the first human being born in the world was Manu. Or according to Western civilization, there was Adam and it was only after his arrival that the human race began. But who was the creator of these two?
Manu in Purana
According to a legend, Manu was created by Lord Brahma himself. It is said that Lord Brahma created two people for the creation of mankind. One is male and the other female. Because in order to take the human race forward, it was necessary for Brahma to create man and woman also.
created by brahma
Man and woman were created by Lord Brahma. All the people present in our worldly world today have originated from Manu.
man made from manu
The first human being to come into the world was Mun, hence this race was named Manav. In Sanskrit it came to be called Munshya and in English also the similar name Man was used. Let us tell you that all these names are associated with the first man Manu.
mythology
According to a story recorded in the Puranas, there was a time when Lord Brahma started feeling quite powerless to create the gods and Asaras and Patrini. Beyond this, he was not able to understand what to compose next. After which he thought a lot so that his mind and brain could achieve some peace.
what was that body
At that moment Brahma ji was busy in some of his work when suddenly a body appeared inside him and came and stood in front of him. After seeing her, he was quite surprised that she was not of any ordinary body but looked exactly like him.
Lord Brahma was surprised
Looking at that shadow, Lord Brahma could not understand for some time what had happened to him. Let us tell you that he was the first human being in the world who is known as Swayambhu Man. Now after this another question comes to mind that if Manu was the first human being according to Hindu beliefs then who was the first human being according to Western society.
Bible and Manu
If we talk about the Bible, then just as in the mythology Manu was born from the body of Lord Brahma, in the same way in the Bible too the shadow of God’s body was born and this shadow, like Mun, was the shadow of God and also looked like him.
birth of adam
In the Bible the name of this shadow has been given as Adam. It is being told that a sentence has also been written in the Bible on the birth of Adam. Man was created in the image of his maker, which means that man was born in the shadow of God. This is proved by both these stories. That Mun is the first person who was born on earth as a human being.
Manu and that woman
Along with Manu, a woman Shatarupa was also created by Lord Brahma in this worldly world. Where according to the stories described in the Puranas, Shatarupa was born and according to the Bible, Embela was born with Adam.
but there are some differences
But after knowing all these facts, it proves that Hindu history and Western civilization are similar to a great extent. But despite this, there is a lot of difference between the two civilizations.
Manu’s birth in the Bible
According to the story written in the Bible, Adam was created by God himself, but on the other hand, Manu himself came out as a body from the body of Lord Brahma. On the other hand, the first female form of man was created from the rib of the mouth according to the Bible. But according to the Puranas, Shatarupa was also born from the body of Lord Brahma.
equality after birth
According to the Purana, after the birth of Manu and Shatarupa, they were ordered by Lord Brahma to establish the human world on earth. Similarly, such an incident is described in the Bible also.
born fully developed
Along with this, the fact of Adam coming into this world without any womb in the Bible matches with the fact of the Puranas. Just as Manu originated from the body that came out from within Brahma, similarly Adam also originated from the body of God.
more than one manu
According to Hindu Purana, it is said that not just one but more than one Manu was born. If the data recorded in the Puranas shows that at that time not one but 10 Manus were born.
