General Lectures

Mūrti means form. So there are 400,000 different forms of human being. So either you take it as species or form, that is up to you, but in the śāstra it is said mūrti, mūrti. Just like elephant has got his murti, tiger has got his mūrti, the tree has got his mūrti, I have got my mūrti, you have got your mūrti.

Devotee: Śrīla Prabhupāda, you spoke of different species of human life. Is it just one species of human life existing on this planet?

Prabhupāda: You don't bother about species. There are different forms. Just like in Europe the form is different from Africa or India. There is different forms. You may call it species according to Darwin's theory, but we don't accept this Darwin's theory. That is not very intelligent. So we don't speak of species, but we call form:

sarva-yoniṣu kaunteya
sambhavanti mūrtayaḥ
(BG 14.4)

Mūrti. Mūrti means form. So there are 400,000 different forms of human being. So either you take it as species or form, that is up to you, but in the śāstra it is said mūrti, mūrti. Just like elephant has got his murti, tiger has got his mūrti, the tree has got his mūrti, I have got my mūrti, you have got your mūrti. In this way there are 8,400,000's of mūrtis, and each mūrti there are millions and millions of the living being. This is our position. Is that clear? Yes. Mūrti. We take mūrti, form.
