Mythology is used to refer to stories that, whether or not believers accept them as strictly factual, are believed to reveal fundamental truths and insights about human nature, often through the use of archetypes.
Mythologies typically are explanations of the universe, natural phenomena, or other themes of human existence, often ascribing agency to one or more deities or other supernatural forces.
The academic meaning of the word mythology is not meant to suggest a negation or denial of the beliefs concerning the codes or values associated with such belief, or to mark these views as similar to unreal or imaginary stories.

Ayyavazhi (Tamil: "path of the father") is a monistic religion that originated in South India in the mid-19th century.
Ayyavazhi beliefs are closely related to those of Smartism and Advaita Vedanta; hence, Ayyavazhi's followers believe that Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva are different aspects of the same God.
Followers of Ayyavazhi differ from other Hindus in that they recognise a Satan-like figure, Kroni, who is the primordial manifestation of evil and manifests in various forms, for example, Ravana and Duryodhana, in different ages or yugas.

In modern usage, "mythology" is either the body of myths from a particular culture or religion (as in Greek mythology, Egyptian mythology or Norse mythology) or the branch of knowledge dealing with the collection, study and interpretation of myths.
This broader truth runs deeper than the advent of critical history which may, or may not, exist as in an authoritative written form which becomes "the story" (Preliterate oral traditions may vanish as the written word becomes "the story" and the literate become "the authority").
Mythology is alive and well in the modern age through urban legends, New Age beliefs, certain aspects of religion and so forth.
