welcome @ purana notes
The Puranas are religious stories which expound truths. Just like the parables told by Jesus
Christ, these stories are told to common folks to make them understand the higher truths of life. The word
'Purana' means ancient. The Puranas always stress devotion to God. Among the large number of Puranas, 18
are called major Puranas. Each of these provides a list of all the 18 Puranas, including itself but the
names in the list in some Puranas slightly vary. So much so that we have a list of 20 Puranas. Out of the
20 Puranas, six are addressed to Lord Vishnu, six to Lord Shiva and six to Lord Brahma. The Puranas are
written in question-and- answer form. They consist principally of stories about Hindu gods, goddesses,
supernatural beings, seers and men. The Puranas do not have a specific date of composition.
The Puranas consists of the following head Puranas:
- Brahma Purana
- Padma Purana
- Vishnu Purana
- Shiva Purana
- Bhagwata Purana
- Narayana Purana
- Markandeya Purana
- Agni Purana
- Bhavishya Purana
- Brahma Vaivarta Purana
- Linga Purana
- Varaha Purana
- Skanda Purana
- Vamana Purana
- Kurma Purana
- Matsya Purana
- Garuda Purana
- Brahmanda Purana

We published some interesting excerpts from this Puranas (everything in English) on these
sides. In addition belong among other things: the Sri Nrsimha kavaca stotram, a very powerful protection
prayer at lord Nrsimhadev and: The prediction of Islam as given in the Bhavishya Purana.
