One point that is not very exhaustively discussed in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is the process of populating our planet. Still, there are interesting details that can be studied.
Hare Krishna dear Chaitanaya Chandra Prabhu, I hope my message finds you in good health and joyous mood of your Bhajana and Seva. I am very grateful again for this wonderful article about "The process of populating our planet?" . Its very very informative and explains very lucidily about the origin of different specicies of the life. You also very nicely explanied the limitations of the Darwin Theory of Origin of species and evolution of life. Actually vedas talk about different Yonis (8.4 million), which are differentiated from each other with regards to consciousness. But Darwin talks about the evolution of species based on the bodily level. From my prospective the world species is not the correct translation of the Samskrit word "Yoni". As the Yonis are differentiated based on Consciousness and in contrast to that the species are differentiated based on the physical bodily charactertistics. Please give your opinion about it. Furthermore, I would like to thank you to expain briefely about the 14 planetary systems, it clarifies some doubsts. I have a very humble and sincere request to you to please write a dedicated article about the characteristics, life and different forms of living entities living in 14 different planetary systems. For eaxple, you have mentioned very generic that Demons live in the lower 7 planets. I will be very very helpful if you can give more details about each of the seven lower planets. Whats are difference amongst them. Also who are specifically the residents of planet above than svarga loka i.e. Maharloka → Janaloka → Tapoloka → Satyaloka. You have already given some description but if more details are available it will be very helpful. you mewntioned that the original seven great sages, i.e. the seven of the direct sons of Brahma resided in the seven stars below Dhruvaloka and at the time of partial annihiliation they are uplifted to Jana Loka. So what is the exact position of Dhruva Loka in upper planetary system. I very humbly, request you to please describe these 14 planetary systems in more details in a systematic way. Very deepest respect for your humble seva and efforts. Hare Krishna, Your insignificant servant, Omkaresvara das
Hare Krishna! I haven't read the post yet, but I am very interested! I got a little distracted because I am wondering if this picture posted is AI generated ?? Thank you!
Oh thank you, because I was wondering about a few things:
One-- Is that a picture of Nara Narayan Rsi?
Two-- how many arms are They supposed to have? Should Narayana have four arms and Nara have two? (I am not learned so this is an actual question and not rhetorical. I mean, I know that Lord Vishnu in His Narayana form has four arms. But I have not seen many pictures of Nara Narayana Rsi.)
Three-- I wonder if the use of AI is valuable? Because it appears that both of the personalities present have 3 arms.
I wonder if this is correct?
And if it's not correct then is there a danger of people like me not knowing what They are supposed to look like thinking that They only have three arms?
If you check the current post on the website, there is a better version of the same image. I sent the wrong one in the newsletter.
Markandeya Rsi describe them on the 12th canto with four arms (both). Other description implies two arms (both). So, they may be depicted with either two or four arms, but both the same.
AI is the only way for creators with small budgets to produce illustrations, so it's not a matter of liking or not.

It's AI enhanced we can say. I used to upscale the original, that was in low resolution
