Genetic Inheritance

Modern medicine says that the tendencies for most diseases are inherited by man at birth itself and diseases manifest much later in life. There is an instance in Kamba Ramayanam where the great Kambar refers to the same fact as an example very beautifully, thousands of years ago, without the help of modern technology or scientific advancements while describing Soorpanaka.Kambar says the Soorpanaka was born as sister to Ravana and at the appropriate time, she played a vital role in bringing about Ravana’s destruction similar to a disease that is inherited at birth and manifests later in life to destroy the individual.[- By Sri Sri Swamiji during His Ramayana Lectures]
