  1. Please stop using the word “Mythological”, when you refer to Hindu scriptures.

    This is a word that the the British used to insult, demean Indian historical texts by call them “MYTH-ological”.

    If Ramayana and Mahabharata are myths….then how did they refer to this exact specific place?? And many other places like: Ayodhya, Lanka, Chitrakoot, Dwaraka etc.

    Let’s assume all religious texts are the work of fiction.

    So we can assume Valmiki and Vyasa had to be geniuses…because they created so many fake hindu gods/characters (if you will) in their epic books.

    So couldn’t they come up with a few fake city names as well?? Why the need to use actual cities like Ayodhya, Lanka, Chitrakoot, Dwaraka etc.

    The logical explanation would be…..that these were real stories documented by Valmiki and Vyasa and therefore used the actual city names!!

    “”””Mythological textbooks like Ramayana and Mahabharata and several autobiographies gives references to existence of this mystic land in the Himalayas.””””

    So please don’t use MYTHOLOGICAL….. call them HISTORICAL

    1. Please stop using the word “logic” because your narrative is merely an uneducated guesswork. Furthermore, Spiderman lives in New York City! Start breaking a coconut in his glory in the morning.

      1. You use the word uneducated?
        What is your education Sir? Did it teach you yet whether light is a particle or a wave?
        Or did it reach you to just say yes Sir?

  2. Yeah, Even I think Spiderman is real and Historical. Because it refers to real place like New-York and Brooklyn. Using real city names in fiction makes the believable. It’s an age old practice which is still in use.

    Don’t why most Indian just cant digest the fact(even in 2018) that Ramayan and Mahabharat were just meant to be mythology.

    1. Dear Kobayashi Shunsuke,
      You posted the above message on a place where the most rare texts are written (on the Internet) about hindu practices,
      What are you doing here if you don’t agree with these practices?
      You can consume any content on the Internet, but you are here, and this is the proof.
      What else do you need and pay some respect if you want to know anything or about any culture.

  3. So many evidence have proved Ramayan Mahabharata is not just mythology. Shambala is a place which could be seen only by souls of higher frequency. Need to have clean soul which vibrates high on pure light.

  4. Kobayashi, we do not know history even for the past 1000 or lets give it leeway, 2500 years of humans.
    How do you establish “facts”? Can you say if this was true or not?

    Try using these words about other religious figureheads and see what responses you get.
