    The S'ruti (Tai. Up., 3-1) says : “Whom they
    approach, and enter.” Brahma Vaivarta Puran : “As he is the

    I think he is saying puranas as mythology because there is no evidence to prove them real. But we get evidences of ramayana and Mahabharata. So its better to assume them in that way rather than believe them blindly. Sometimes it's better to assume something if it contradicts reality. Because these are ancient stories and it's difficult to prove their reliability in this era but we can take morals from these stories rather than focusing on plot itself. It's fine to do to avoid blind faith about something we do not know. Remember this is Dharmic faith, where change is accepted and something that contradicts with the time and place can be rejected. We are not fixated to anything but these our guiding tools to seek consciousness.
    Our culture is like flowing water which never bound itself to anything but flow with time.

      It's not difficult to disprove something that allegedly happened in the past. That's what science is for. That's how we know that all the rumours and old wives' tales - about anything in historical science-fiction globally - are false.
      Science exists to disprove the past. That's the only we know how to discover the future. Otherwise scientists will make the same mistakes they did in 500AD by unwittingly repeating it.
      It's very hard to predict the future, but it's very easy to explain the past.
      The concept of academic peer review began approximately between AD 1730 and 1945.
      In that time lakhs of experiments were run and tested worldwide for the first time. This forces objectivity.
      You have Hindus brainwashed to believe certain things in their own history that they feel afraid to disprove. When it goes to a Chinese scientist, he has no incentive to lie. And he says it's false. Then a Chinese Confucian myth is sent to Switzerland, and they disprove that. And it goes round and round.
      Trust me, as a scientist myself, when I say there's absolutely nothing about ancient history that is "yet to be proven" or "disproven". You don't go around disproving every single myth one at a time. Then science would never move forward.
      Instead we develop a massive framework of scientific theory - such as Gravity or Relativity - and then use those same rules and formulas to disprove many myths all at once.
      If a myth says that humans can't jump off the ground and stay fixed in the air, then we automatically discard every single myth that contains a rishi levitating.
      Then there are fields like anthropology, historigraphy, archaeology and engineering that tell us if the rest of that myth is likely to be false too. And it always is.

      Because you don’t. The Puranas are a bunch of fables which have been expanded upon and given life whenever Hinduism has faced major issues from other religions. They come millennia after the vedas, Upanishad’s and epics. They sometimes spit in the face of the gods it’s actually disrespectful

    PurA-navam-bhavati is the meaning of Puran means old is destroyed and new is created. People who do not know basic meanings are giving lectures on dharam 🤣 . Puran dose not mean " MYTHLOGICAL " .18 mahapuranas are like putting micriscop on vedas and its knowledge and telling them in common men's or masses language to convey the knowledge of veda with the help of " POETRY DRAMA AND MYTHLOGY TO CONVEY THE PHILOSOPHY OF VEDAS AS WELL AS SOME SCINCES OF VEDAS. IN " NATAYA SASHTRAS WHICH IS ALSO SOMETIMES REFERED AS 5TH VEDA ALONG WITH BHAHVAT GITA IT IS SAID THAT IF YOU WANT TO CONVEY HISTORY OR KNOWLEDGE OR BOTH TO BE REMEMBERED AND REFFERED FOR LONG TIME AMONGST HUMANS THEN IT IS IMPORTENT TO USE POETRY MYTHLOGY AND ", NATYA ", MEANS DRAMA WITHOUT DISTURBING THE CORE THAT IS HISTORY OR KNOWLEDGE OR BOTH AND THUS IF ONE SEES BE IT PURANAS OR ITIHASSA ( HISTORY LIKE RAMYAN AND MAHABHARAT ) AND MANY OTHR WRITINGS OF ANCIENT BHARAT YOU WILL FIND DRAMA POETRY AND MYTHLOGYICAL US USED LIBRARLY SO THAT IT CAN REACH MASSES AND HOLD THEIR ATTANTION. THUS IF ONE UNDERSTANDS THIS THEN ONE WILL TRY TO TAKE MAXIMUM KNOWKEDGE OUT OF 18 MAHA PURANAS . FOR E.G SAMUDRA MANTHAN WHICH IS DISPLAYED AS ART EFFECT AT BANGKOK AIRPORT OR SOME AIRPORT IN FAR EAST IS ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUSE STORIES TOLD. ON THE FACE OF IT YOU WILL WITHOUT DOUBT PUT IT IN CLASS OF MYTHLOGY BUT YOU THEN GO UPPWARDS IN CLASS OF ANCIENT LEARNINGS YOU WILL FIND GEOLOGY WHERE YOU WILL REALISE ITS TALKING ABOUT RISE OF HIMALAYA WHEN BHARAT SUB CONTINENT CLASHED WITH ASIA WHERE SHESH NAAG IN THE STORY ARE TECTONIC PLATES FROM ONE END TO ANOTHER OF HIMALAYA MOUNTAIN RANGE AND HIMALAYA AS WE KNOW IS STILL RISING AND TAIL OF SHESH NAAG WAS WITH DEVAS SO THEY GOT EVERYTHING THUS FROM BHARAT TO EAST WARDS THERE WAS PROPERIETY THROUGH WATER GREENER ETC AND MOUTH OF SHESH NAAG IS WEST OF HIMALAYA WITH ASURA AND STORY SAYS WHAT EVER GOODIES CAME OUT ON THAT SIDE SHESH NAAG ATE IT UP THUS YOU HAVE NOTHING MEANS DESERTS. NOW IF YOU SEE ZOHRASTRUANS OF PERSIANS IRAN FOR THEM ASURAS ARE GOOD GUYS WHO WEAR ON WEST OF HIMALAYAS OR AT MOUTH OF SHESH NAAG AND DEVAS ARE VILLAINS BUT IN BHARAT AND EAST DEVAS ARE HEROS. NOW AS YOU GROW LITTLE MORE IN YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND THINKING THEN SAME STORIES WILL TELL YOU SAMUDRAMANTHAN IS MANTHAN OF SAMUDRA LIKE MIND OF YOURS WHICH IS LIKE BIG .OCEAN WHERE THOUGHTS ARE LIKE CONSTANT WAVES OF OCEAN AND WHEN YOU DO CHURNING OF IT FIRST NEGSTIVITY WILL COME OUT MEANS POISON WHICH SHIV TOOK AWAY AND EVENTULY YOU WILL ATTAIN AMRIT MEANS KNOWLEDGE WHICH IS MORTAL. ONE STORY 3 MEANINGS AT DIFFRENT STAGES OF YOUR INTLECTUELS CAPACITY THATS HOW YOU READ AND LEARN ANCIENT WISDOM OF SASHTRAS PURANAS AND OTHER ANCIENT WRITINGS MAINLY WHICH ARE PHILOSOPHICAL WHILE WHICH ARE FOR SCINCE THEY ARE STRAIGHT IN YOUR FACE LIKE SURYA SIDHANTA OR CHARAK OR AYURVEDA OR VASTU OR GANIT JHOTISH MEANS ASTRONOMY OR FALIT JHOTISH WHICH MEANS ASTRLOGY AND OF COURSE MATHAMATICS OR MASTER CLASS OF PANINI SASHTRAS WHICH ARE ORIGINS OF TODAYS COMPUTOR CODES WHICH IS RECORDED HISTORY.

    If u read Mahabharat of vyaas u'll find even motor boats & spacecrafts , but people find it hard to believe as of now without any direct proof of its existence or non existence....
    Shaastra pramaaan is 1 proof but ur intellect wont agree to it , atleaat u could have said "i dont know"... instead u said its impossible its exaggeration...
