Summary
Objectively, Indian mythology is incomprehensibly complex—with over 100 million deities, and a route to Nirvana that requires mental strength beyond basic comprehension.Tony knows this. From the teachings of his mom—“Mummy, Tony, Mummy”—and his own short-lived exploration of his ethnic background—(being mixed is hard ok?)—. He was entranced by the stories of Krishna and Ganesha. While scientifically he doesn’t know what happens after death, he grew up accepting reincarnation as a result of his mother’s belief. That's why—looking down at the palm leaf engraved with his past, future, and present—he's stunned. Flabbergasted, astounded, at a loss of words but still rambling via monologue.That, he, Tony Stark is a god.
Note
Thanks to definesai for betaing!!!! Shout out to the Desi Marvel Discord group for helping me with my questions. To clarify, I am Indian but I was not born nor raised there, so my cultural ties aren't too strong. I'm also not mixed but I tried to do justice. This fic is not meant to offend anyone and I respect all religions, cultures, and ways of life. Hope y'all enjoy!!!~vix
