Guest guest Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Hare Krsna ! Please accept my humble obeisances. It is said that there are 18 main puranas wich are divisioned:1).sattvik puranas 2). rajas puranas 3). tamasik puranas. I`ve heard from devotees that not all of them are dedicated to Lord Visnu (Krsna) and some of them (Skanda P., Agni P.) advice to worship some demigods (tamasik - Lord Siva, rajas - Lord Brahma). I`ve also heard that those demigods are described there as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Those devotees didn`t give any shastric references. My question is: How it possible that the Vedic literature denys the position of Lord Krsna (Visnu)? I`ve heard that some texts was changed and Lord Caitanya accepted only Bhagavatam, Gita, Vedanta - sutra & Brahma - samhita (govindam adi purusam....). Is it true ? I ask because I`ve read fragments of Agni Purana and Brahmanda purana and I found there that worship of Supreme Lord (Krsna or His incarnation) can give spiritual progress and Liberation to worshipers. I didn`t find some fragments that deny the supremacy of Lord Visnu. I could be wrong , so I`ll be very appreciate for any autorised shastric references. Y. h. s. Bh Chris.
