Kṛṣṇa describes the genealogy of the universe, explaining that the great patriarchs and sages were born directly from His mind. The seven great sages and the four original sages (the Kumāras), along with the progenitors of mankind known as Manus, all originate from the Lord’s own mental energy. We are all descendants of these original beings, which makes Kṛṣṇa the Great-Grandfather of all humanity. The term ‘Manushya’ or human actually comes from the name Manu. This means that the entire world’s population is just an expansion of Kṛṣṇa’s own family tree. This perspective fosters a sense of universal brotherhood. When we understand that every human being, regardless of race or nation, shares the same spiritual ancestry, our prejudices begin to fade. We see that we are all part of a vast, divine plan set in motion by the Supreme Lord Himself.
