Guest guest Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 SRIMATE RAMANUJAYA NAMAHA, Anything which contradicts the vedas should be rejected as vedas are apaurusheya i.e. not composed by any person.But the puranas are composed by rishis who are affected by three mayic gunas.when satva guna predominates,whatever they write is in tune with vedas whereas when the rajas & tamas gunas predominate their writings contradict the vedas & hence not acceptable. Moreover,people are of 3 types according to the predominant guna.The rajasic & tamasic puranas are for rajasic & tamasic people.Hence one need not change or remove any passages from these puranas.In fact, Veda vyasa himself has categorised the puranas into three according to the 3 gunas. hence srivaishnavas have to follow the satvic puranas.
