I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this question, (please let me know and I will move it).
I was watching this documentary called Zeitgeist. The film starts off taking apart the very foundations of christian theology. The documentary uses primary sources to assert that Jesus himself was the creation of christian themselves - styled on various 'pagan' figures.
While that may be the case, the documentary also went on to say that the concept of virgin birth is present in Sanatan Dharma. It cites the example of Krishna and his mother Devaki.
I don't remember Krishna's birth portrayed in this manner...is this another example of poor understanding of our heritage?
Appreciate any gyan on this!
