 There is a place in the Himalayan region, approximately around 14,700, 14,800 feet above means the level, which is known as the Kantisarovar. Kantisarovar means a lake of grace. It is called a lake of grace because this is where the first yoga program happened over 15,000 years ago. The first yoga program, this was the site, the bank of this Sarovar. There are a whole lot of stories why geographically it happened here, because Adiyogi was not here earlier, he was elsewhere. It's lots of stories but I will not go into the stories, okay? So he happened to be there on the banks of this lake and this is where with seven disciples he started his first yoga program. This place is very significant, although in the whole planet this place is very significant because it's in this place for the first time a human being perceived that if we strive we can evolve. Adiyogi, when he spoke about evolution, I know the theory of evolution is 150 years old. You know, last year was the 200th birthday anniversary of Charles Darwin. At the age of 54 he prepounded so it is less than 150 years old. But Adiyogi spoke about the evolution in a certain way. He said, first the divine manifested in the form of fish, life and the water. You've heard of the… at least the Indian people, you've heard of the nine avataras. Or avatar means only a Hollywood movie for you, what has happened? Nine manifestations of the divine. The first manifestation in the form of a fish, life and a water. The second manifestation, tell me what's the avataras? Matsya avataras and then what? Kurma avataras which means a turtle that means an amphibious life. The second manifestation of the divine is amphibious, half in half out. The third manifestation is Varaha avataras. Divine manifested in the form of a boar. Why a boar, why it's being referred to as a boar, the third manifestation is among the mammals which is the basis for the making of a human being later on. Among the mammals, one animal which is most strongly rooted in its body is a pig. You can't kill a pig easily, do you know this? See, in where we are, the yoga center, the tribal boys, they're going to school, if they see a deer, three-four of them coordinate with a stick, they'll kill it. One thing, they will kill it. So easy to kill a deer. But a wild boar is not like that. You break its body, it will not die. It's very, very strongly rooted in its body. So if somebody is very physical, you say, oh, he's like a pig. Yes or no? Because physically it's a very rooted life. So the next form of the divine is Varaha avataras as a wild boar. What is the next one? Narasimha avataras, which is half-man and half-animal form. The next manifestation of the divine is Vaman avataras, a dwarf man. Next one is Purushurama avataras, a full-fledged man, but emotionally allotile man. So allotile, he lopped off his own mother's head. Such an angry man. The next one is Ram avataras, a peaceful man. The next one is Krishna avataras, a loving man. Next one is supposed to be the Buddha, a meditative man. The next one is supposed to be a mystical human being. So this need not necessarily mean that one person, they're talking about humanity evolving, life evolving in a certain way. So this Adiyogi said over 15,000 years ago, does it run very much parallel to Darwin's theory of evolution? Yes or no? Nearly there, isn't it? In fact, it's very much there. So this was said 15,000 years ago, not 150 years ago. And then he said, As human beings, physically you have evolved to a point, further evolution is not possible, unless some dramatic changes happen in the solar system. It's very uncanny, about four years ago the neuroscientists came up with this fact that human brain cannot evolve further. You can learn to use it better, but it cannot evolve further. Because the only way it can evolve is either you must increase the size of the neuron to become more capable, or you have to increase the number of neurons. If you increase the number of neurons, clarity will be lost. This happens to many children. When they're born, they're brilliant, but they can't do anything properly because there is no clarity. It takes some time to shed some of the neurons, reduce the number of neurons in the brain and then they become stable. But otherwise they're all crackling, they can't do anything straight because there is no clarity. If you increase the size of the neuron, the power or the energy that it consumes is too much. Right now as you sit here, in a resting state when you sit down, 20% of your calorific energy is being consumed by your brain right now, even if it's not doing anything very creative. Yes, in a resting state, 20% of your energy is being consumed by your brain because brain is a very high energy consuming part of your body, 20%, it's a small thing. So much body consumes 80%, this much brain consumes 20% of the energy. If you increase the size of the neuron, the volume of energy that it consumes will become such, the body cannot sustain it. So neurologists are saying human brain cannot evolve further because the physical loss will not allow it. The loss of physics will not allow it. So he said physical evolution is finished according to the loss of physics. That's a modern statement. Adiyogi said, unless the dynamics of the solar system changes, which means unless the physical loss change on the planet, evolution cannot go further than this. But you can evolve in ways which are not physical. And there is a way to do it. If you strive, you can evolve. This is the most dynamic and creative process for a human being, that the way you are right now, whatever limitations nature has fixed upon you right now, he's not concrete, he's not 100%. If you strive, you can cross these boundaries. So this idea and the possibility of evolution and the technologies to evolve as to what you can do to evolve, this happened on the banks of this Kanti Sarovar about six to eight kilometers above Kedarnath. It's not a touristy place, it's something you have to trek in the snow, otherwise you won't make it.
