hare_krishna Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 What do the Isckon acharyas and gaudiyas and other vaishnvas think about the dewi bhagavatam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahnava Nitai Das Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Devi Bhagavatam is historically a recent composition written to compete with the Bhagavata Purana of the Vaishnavas. Chandi is much older and more authentic, though written in Bengali. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hare_krishna Posted August 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Devi bhagvatam also says that brahmanas should eat prasada from Shaalagraama and worship vishnu mantra, but at an other place in the devi bhagavatam it is said that all dvijas are shaaktas, not vaishnavas and not shaivas because they worship Gayatri. In my version of Bhagavata puraana there is a mahaatmya from skanda puraana for the bhagavata puraana and there is also a mahatmya from skanda puraana in my dewi bhagavatam. Is it possbile that Vyaasa wrote devi bhagvatam because Vishnu gave his blessings to Durga when she helped him by becoming Shree Krishnas sister?
