    Use of word "Mythological" or "Myth" for

    Hi!

    This is a very General, Straightforward and simple thread.

    Not only westerners also many indians and and that too many hindu culture followers use word "Myth" for Hindu culture/tradition/shastras/Puranas.

    According to Oxford Dictionary one of the meaning of "myth" is fictitious person or thing or idea"

    meaning of "fictitious" according to Oxford Dictionary is counterfiet, not genuine, unreal and imaginary"

    This definition can never be applied to Hindu Culture because Hindu Shastras are based on Facts and not fiction.

    What has occured thousands of years ago or what has been written thousands of years ago just cannot be regarded as fiction simply because we don't have any proof of that.

    Stories in Puranas and shastras are real and have been written down by our enlightened Sages thousands or years ago because they have happened in connection with spiritual matter, and just reading or hearing those puranas one gets on to straight path of Dharma, Arth, kama and Moksha.


    What incidents are happening now are real and also they are true after thousands of years.

    The pity is even Hindus call Hindu Culture a myth out of sheer IGNORANCE

    So we are calling our culture sacred and in the same breath we call it as unreal.

    Bye
