1. Srila Prabhupada quotes Vivekananda on Darwin &Western civilization

    …the modern civilization, according to Darwin’s theory, they are advancing to become animal. That’s it. Therefore they are claiming their forefathers are coming from monkeys. That somebody said on the other day, Vivekananda was asked that “Why your Indian forefathers did not come, long years ago?” He answered, “Because your forefathers were jumping in the tree.” (laughter) It is very nice answer. “Our forefathers did not come because your forefathers were jumping in the tree.”
