About the Book

We directly challenge the common perception that ancient Vedic literature, with its tales of flying monkeys, multi-headed deities, and children lifting mountains, constitutes mere mythology. This label often arises from a limited understanding or a fundamental aversion to acknowledging a Supreme Divine Being. Instead of being fictional accounts, these texts are historical records that reveal the workings of the universe and the nature of God. Many so-called "miracles" described in the Vedas, such as a child defeating a witch or a hero building a bridge of floating rocks, are no more astonishing than the everyday wonders often taken for granted, like the sun rising, rain falling, or planets floating in space. All these occurrences, from the grand cosmic order to the intricate growth of a banyan tree from a tiny seed, point to an intelligent design and a single, all-powerful source: God. We draw on several arguments to substantiate the reality of Vedic narratives. Krishna's deeds, for instance, are recounted across numerous texts, much like multiple biographers detailing an important personality, rather than appearing in a single, isolated work. Vedic literature, compiled by revered brahmanas like Vyasadeva and Valmiki, transparently employs metaphors when intended, without any desire to deceive. Furthermore, these compilers and other great sages like Narada and Prahlada are individuals of impeccable character, devoid of material ambitions for wealth or fame, which shows their sincere aim was to share truth, not concoct fictions for personal gain. We also address skepticism by explaining that what appears unbelievable to those conditioned by material life becomes comprehensible with an understanding of spiritual science. Concepts like mystic perfections, known as siddhis, explain how empowered beings can manipulate material elements, making feats like changing shape or carrying mountains understandable within a spiritual framework. Rejecting these accounts as mythology is akin to a "Dr. Frog" philosophy, where one's limited experience dictates the boundaries of possibility for an omnipotent being. True mythology is believing in permanent happiness in a temporary world, or that the universe arose from random collisions without intelligence. Through a comprehensive examination of these points, we invite readers to reconsider their preconceptions and explore the rich wisdom of Vedic culture, as moving beyond the "mythology" label opens the door to a deeper, more accurate understanding of reality and the Divine.

The creation of krishnasmercy.com stems from a desire to share the transformative power of Krishna's holy names and the joy of devotional service.
