Vishnu Purana
Author: B. K. Chaturvedi
Publisher: Diamond Pocket Books (P) Ltd.
ISBN: 9788171826735
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
Vishnu Puran is believed to be one of the most important Puranas, if not the most valuable ancient record of the faith called Sanatan Dharma. Its stories reveal about the various exploits of Vishnu incarnations. In rendering this holy text into English, the attention has been paid to put only those details that have certain fundamental truths of life. Hence, in this work those details have been deliberately omitted which may appear rather confusing or uninteresting to the reader not having the initiation in the sacred love. The main thrust of this attempt has been to show a clear glimpse of our ancient hermitage.

Koorma Purana
Author: Dr. Vinay
Publisher: Diamond Pocket Books Pvt Ltd
ISBN: 8128828029
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 91
Book Description
The Puranas work as guiding inspiration in Hindu life. The stories of Puranas reflect the composite human nature of all times. The lessons of the Puranas are captivating, entertaining and widely followed by the Hindus, so much that it can undisputedly be said that the Puranas are the beacons of Indian ethos. Today, when the old values seem outdated, the stories of the Puranas bring forth the lessons as much the graceful as were in old times. There are 18 Puranas, which tell the tales of vice and virtue, good and evil, religion and irreligion and so on. These are relevant even today. Koorma Purana is one of them. Its text is presented in form of a tortoise's expression of stories and morals out of them. The word 'Tortoise' means 'Koorma' in Sanskrit. According to Hindu scriptures, the Koorma was the metamorphosed form of Lord Vishnu, in his second incarnation. The morals derived from the stories spoken by the Koorma, were actually emanating from metamorphosed Lord Vishnu. The Koorma discusses the Shaiva and Shaakta theories.

Puranas Reimagined
Author: Pooja Jain
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
Puranas Reimagined: Attaining Enlightenment Through Samudra Manthan shares a new perspective of the popular folklore of Samudra Manthan cited in the Holy Scriptures. It draws an allegory between the religious folktale of the Daityas, the Devtas and the celestial gifts with inner sciences of spirituality. Each celestial gift obtained, such as Airawat, Kalpvriksha, Shankh, etc., in the tale, is considered as an amazing psychic power or Siddhi. The miraculous powers can be developed by an individual following the Ashthang Yoga or the eight-fold path of yoga. Further, following extensive research, the book highlights astounding anecdotes from the lives of revered Holy Saints who had engaged the said Siddhi in their life. In the words of Galileo: “All truths are easy to understand, once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.” The book comprehends and shares a new dimension of the truth of the immortal tale.
