There have been quite many Indian myths that were followed by our forefathers, ancestors and quite many by ourselves in day to day life. For some of these myths we knew there are lot of scientific reasons. In this website, I will try to bring them all that I am aware of so that we learn about the reasons and not just ignore them.
If our ancestors were able to identify the solar system long ago and wrote the calendar system with Panchangam, we know how much of knowledge they had. There were no satellites or telescope used to determine these for them. There were certain things followed by them which were applicable for those days but some of them are even applicable to us at this point of time. Why not go through the journey of what they did and why they did.. So that we have reason to follow them.
Understanding and learning these myths is very important to us for these reasons,
Teach our Children
when our child asks why this is done or when the child learns from us/others, we should have a good reason to explain them. This will help us to teach the children of how intelligent their ancestors were with the limited resources they had with them. Also, not to get embarrassed by their questions :)
Superstition
There are quite many people who don't believe in these myths and always think of others following it are superstitious. If there are reasons to prove that things were done that way because that's the best way of doing it then it makes things clear.
Follow what is applicable for now
Not all can be followed at this age but take whichever is applicable for now and follow them. It might bring us good habits and can make life better.
There are quite many more reasons but lets keep these as top 3.
Lets start the journey of learning and discussing myths..and their scientific reasons...
