Virgin births: in almost all the religions of the world

‘Parthenos’ is Greek for ‘virgin’ while ‘genesis’ means ‘birth.’ The word parthenogenesis normally refers to Lord Jesus’ birth to a virgin mother. Countless Hindu and Greek heroes and deities, too, have a divine, spiritual father, in addition to a putative, physical, human father.
The Holy Ghost came upon Mother Mary, and the power of the Highest overshadowed her. Mary arose and went into the hill country, into a city of Juda. St. Luke writes, ‘That holy thing which was born of her was called the Son of God.’
Similarly, Pawan, the wind deity, entered the ear of Lady Anjana and she went to a hill called Sumeru. Sri Hanuman was born and was called the Son of the Wind God.

Joseph was Mother Mary’s husband, but God was the Christ’s father. Kesari ji was Hanuman ji’s putative father the way Joseph was Lord Jesus’.
Ravan had a similar birth. His father Visrav had merely implanted a thought in Kaikashi’s mind.
