Indian mythology, or Hindu mythology, has been a subject of debate for years. It draws its origins from ancient epics and legends, whose existence has never been definitively proven. And perhaps that’s the essence of mythology, stories rooted in folklore, oscillating between belief and fiction. While some see these tales as imaginative narratives, others hold them sacred, diving deep into epics like the Mahabharata and the Ramayana to find inspiration and lessons for life.
The Vedas and Puranas are the ancient texts that form the bedrock of this mythology. While the spiritual significance of these texts may be questionable, they do have a certain value as vehicles for philosophical growth, understanding the cosmos, and moral guidance. Even those who may not believe in the concept of the divine trinity often understand the idea of Brahma (underpinning the entire universe) as a symbol of the ultimate reality, the present.
