  1. I realize the quote is not your material and so this isn't intended as criticism and I also realize that in some circles the word myth need not imply fabrication, but generally speaking it sounds like they are casually calling a major character / event in hindu religion a myth.

    Would be interesting to see our reaction to a caption that referred to the myth of jesus.
