Share your views! 😊 No fighting though, please.

Note: I forgot to mention this in the poll, but anyone who chooses the first option not only believes it is a religious scripture, but also believes it is history. I don't want it to seem like choosing the first option means you believe it's pure mythology.

For me, both Ramayana & Mahabharata are Spiritual & Sacred Books only & I do believe that every single incident written in them really occurred when Mother Earth was blessed with Lord Ram & Lord Krishna respectively 😊
Once we start to disbelieve the incidents, it will increase gradually, & finally will mislead us to conclude that the whole thing is a fiction like modern day novels & none called Ram or Krishna ever existed. I don't want to lose my faith on Lord so I always believe that He really took incarnation & everything around Him really occurred. Also as a devotee let me say that nothing is impossible for God so I believe all supernatural incidents written in the epics too. We the Kaliyug people cannot say a particular thing as impossible as we don't know whether that was possible or not in Treta & Dwapar yugas.
So Mahabharata is a Spiritual & Historical piece for me. Spiritual, as Lord performed His Leelas in it & Historical as the people around Him were certainly there to help Him in His Leelas. If Krishna is true then of course the people related to Him are true. Also let me say that the good people of Dwapar yug (also of Treta) live within my heart. The Mahabharata characters really exist for me, they teach me several lessons & make me emotional with their emotions. So they are more than real for me.
