Devotee: Prabhupāda, what is a Manu, and how is a Manu the father of mankind, as it is stated in ''Bhagavad-gītā''?

Prabhupāda: Yes, Manu is the name, and because mankind is born, therefore they are called ''manuṣya''. ''Manuṣy''a, "born of Manu." Manu is the name. Just like in some parts of England they are called Angels? In the past history, during the Roman occupation of England, they are known as Angels? You don't know?

Woman devotee: Anglos?

Prabhupāda: Angles, yes.

Woman devotee: Anglo-Saxon.

Prabhupāda: Yes. So from Anglos, they have become English. Similarly, Manu. Manu is the name of the son of Brahmā, Vaivasvata Manu. Just like Nārada is one of the sons. So there are so many sons. Brahmā was the original living being, so he created so many sons, and they created so many sons. In this way the population of the whole universe has increased. So Manu is one of the son.

There are fourteen Manus in one day of Brahmā. These things I have discussed many times. And the mankind, they come from Manu. That is stated in the ''Bhagavad-gītā. Imaṁ vivasvate yogaṁ proktavān aham avyayam, vivasvān manave prāha'' ([[Vanisource:BG 4.1 (1972)|BG 4.1]]). Manu, this Manu, there are different Manus, fourteen Manus in one day. This present Manu under whom we are now living within this universe, he's the son of sun-god, Vivasvān. So he has got his different planet, as the sun has got different planet. 

So his son Ikṣvāku was given this earthly planet to rule over, and from that generation, Mahārāja Ikṣvāku, Lord Rāmacandra appeared. In this way the ''kṣatriyas'', they spread all over the world. I have several times said that most of the Europeans, they belong to the original ''kṣatriyas''. So the human history has spread, not only in this planet, in many other planets. 

So Manu is the father of mankind. From the word man . . . this is Latin? Latin word? Man? Sanskrit word is ''manuṣya'', from Manu, that is "man." So Manu is accepted as the father of the mankind in Sanskrit literature. And in Bible it is said the man is made after God. 

So actually, Brahmā is the son of Viṣṇu, and Manu is the son of Brahmā, and we are also son of Manu in different aspect. So gradually, if you go up, God comes to be our original father. And we say also, God is the original father.</p>
