sant Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Naarad Jee asked Sanaatan Jee - "Now you please tell me about Puraan, such as how many are they? How many Shlok they contain? What is written in them? etc." Sanaatan Jee said - "I tell you what once Brahmaa Jee told Mareechi Jee. Brahmaa Jee said - "Son, Before there was only one Puraan which contained 1 billion (100 Crore) Shlok. Seeing that one book was not read properly by people, Vishnu takes Avataar as Vyaas in every Chatur-Yug, takes 400,000 Shlok from 1 billion Shlok and distribute them in 18 Puraan. That 1 billion Shlok Puraan is still available in Dev Lok. The 18 Puraan are - Brahm, Padm, Vishnu, Shiv, Bhaagvat, Naarad, Maarkandeya, Agni, Bhavishya, Brahm Vaivart, Ling, Varaah, Skand, Vaaman, Koorm, Matsya, Garud and Brahmaand Puraan. (1) Brahm Puraan - Vyaas Jee first created Brahm Puraan with 10,000 Shlok. There are many stories in it. Its Poorv Bhaag, describes the creation of Devtaa, Asur, Daksh, Soorya Vansh and Raam Avataar, Chandra Vansh and Krishn Avataar, all Lok, Narak, prayer of Soorya, birth of Paarvatee and her marriage. Its Uttar Bhaag describes Purushottam Kshetra, Krishn's life in detail, Yam Lok and method of doing Shraaddh, Yug, Pralaya. This is in the form of Soot Jee and Shaunak Jee's dialog. Who writes this Puraan and then donates to Braahman with grains, clothes and ornaments, cow etc, he lives in Brahm Lok till the Sun and stars exist. Who reads or listens to its content list, he also gets the fruit of listening or reading it. Who hears or reads the whole Puraan, he attains Brahm Pad. By reading it, one attains whatever he wishes for. (2) Padm Puraan - As this human being is with five Gyaan Indriyaan, this Puraan consists of five parts (Khand). There are 55,000 Shlok in it. In its Srishti Khand, Maharshi Pulastya has preached Bheeshm about Pushkar Teerth, Brahm Yagya, various types of donations and Vrat, Paarvatee's marriage, Taarakaasur, importance of cow, Kaalkeya, worshipping planets. Its Bhoomi Khand describes about the importance of parents, Vritraasur, Vane, Nahush, Ashok Sundaree, Hund Daitya, dialog of Chyavan and Kunjalaa in the form of Soot Jee and Shaunak Jee dialog.

Its Uttar Bhaag gives various types of stories on Dharm, about Punya, Vrat, Dharm Shaastra, Arth Shaastra, Vedaant, Jyotish (astrology), Stotra, Mantra and many other things beneficial to all. Vyaas Jee has told the account of Varaah Kalp. Who donates it along with cow by writing himself or by others to Braahman on Aashaadh Poornimaa, he goes to Vaikunth Dhaam. (4) Vaayu Puraan - Brahmaa Jee said - "Now I tell you about Vaayu Puraan by hearing which one attains Shiv Dhaam. This Puraan contains 24,000 Shlok and describes Dharm with the reference of Shwet Kalp by Vaayu Dev. It is divided in two parts - Poorv and Uttar. Its Poorv Bhaag describes kings of various Manvantar, story of Gayaasur, importance of Maagh Maas, Daan Dharm, living beings, etc. Its Uttar Bhaag describes Teerth at Narmadaa River, Shiv Sanhitaa in detail. There are 35 sin destroyer Sangam Teerth at Narmadaa River from Omkaareshwar to western shore of the sea. Among them, 11 are on northern banks and 23 on southern banks, and the 35th is the Sangam place where Narmadaa falls in the sea. Along with these Sangam Teerth, there are 400 Teerth on both banks of Narmadaa. Who donates this Puraan along with jaggery and cow by writing himself on Shraavan Poornimaa to Braahman, he lives in Rudra Lok up to a Kalp. Who listens to it regularly eating Havishya food, he himself is Rudra. (5) Bhaagvat Puraan - This Puraan contains 18,000 Shlok divided among 12 Skandh.

theist Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 TRANSLATION Completely rejecting all religious activities which are materially motivated, this Bhāgavata Purāṇa propounds the highest truth, which is understandable by those devotees who are fully pure in heart. The highest truth is reality distinguished from illusion for the welfare of all. Such truth uproots the threefold miseries. This beautiful Bhāgavatam, compiled by the great sage Vyāsadeva [in his maturity], is sufficient in itself for God realization. What is the need of any other scripture? As soon as one attentively and submissively hears the message of Bhāgavatam, by this culture of knowledge the Supreme Lord is established within his heart.

gHari Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 The Bhagavatam foretells future events as well, like the Buddha and Kali-yuga avataras. It is written that the Vedas are not manufactured, but emanate from the mouth of Lord Narayana as He breathes. He is unborn and lives eternally, therefore the Vedas are unborn and eternal. This perfect merciful sound is captured from time-to-time in writing in this world, in portions here and there, to our good fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sant Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 My point is wasnt the bhagavatam written after ved vyas had written all the puranas or is it written only after the mahabharat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaisersose Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 If ved vyas had wirtten the bhagavt after writing the puranas anfd other texts then how does naarad purana,padm puran,mention the name of bhagavat. Apparently, they were not written. They were a compilation of stories transferred from generation to generation. If you believe all the Puranas had a single author, then it should not be too hard to believe that he inserted the name of the Bhagavata in the earlier Puranas. The Gita mentions the Brahma Sutras by name and there is a sutra that is interpreted to mean the Gita. This circular logic is dealt with in a similar fashion. Badarayana the Sutrakara is declared to be Vyasa himself and therefore it is then possible that Vyasa made an adjustment in the earlier text (sutra or the Gita) to include the reference to the other.

ranjeetmore Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 "sattvick purana" ...............the same old story ............................ and yet a purana which is claimed as sattvick advocates sati --garuda purana !! sati is a vedic practice.The wife of Dhritarashtra went sati.It is a choice.there are certain injunctions for the adherents of karma kanda and this forms a part of it. I Expect a mayavadi to believe that the garuda purana 'can be wrong'. when people slowly stop giving vedas the amoutn of respect and reverence they give now,no doubt,you will discount some sections of the vedas which describe the purusha,etc. obviosuly,you will say that 'these Vedas advocate use of cow dung ' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
