Narada Purana

There are two puranas both belonging to the Upapurana group attributed to the divine sage Narada: The Brhannaradiya purana and the Naradiya purana (also spelt as Narada Purana). The first part (purvabhaga) has 125 chapters in four padas or quarters. The second part (uttarabhaga) has 82 chapters. The first part is sometimes identified with the Brhan-naradiya-purana.


The contents in brief are as follows: praise of Visnu, and bhakti or devotion; geography Bharatavarsa (India); story of Bhagiratha bringing the Ganga river from heaven and its greatness; a few vratas; varnasrama dharmas; patakas or sins; sadacara or good conduct; sraddha or obsequial ceremonies. The story of the king Rukmangada who was a great devotee of Visnu and who meticulously observed the ekadasi vrata has received a detailed treatment.

पुराण गाथा
पुराण शब्द ‘पुरा’ एवं ‘अण’ शब्दों की संधि से बना है, जिसका शाब्दिक अर्थ -‘पुराना’ अथवा ‘प्राचीन’ होता है । ‘पुरा’ शब्द का अर्थ है - अनागत एवं अतीत । ‘अण’ शब्द का अर्थ होता है - कहना या बतलाना अर्थात् जो पुरातन अथवा अतीत के तथ्यों, सिद्धांतों, शिक्षाओं, नीतियों, नियमों और घटनाओं का विवरण प्रस्तुत करे। सूर्य की किरणों की तरह पुराण को ज्ञान का स्रोत माना जाता है। जैसे सूर्य अपनी किरणों से अंधकार को हटाकर उजाला कर देता है, उसी प्रकार पुराण अपनी ज्ञानरूपी किरणों से मानव के मन का अंधकार दूर करके सत्य के प्रकाश का ज्ञान देते हैं। सनातनकाल से ही जगत् पुराणों की शिक्षाओं और नीतियों पर ही आधारित है।
The Brahma Purana - A Great Epic & Essence of Brahma Purana
The Brahma Purana (Sanskrit: ब्रह्मपुराण; Brahma-Purana) is one of the eighteen major PURANAS of Vaishnavi Hindu texts. Brahma Purana is a text related to Lord Brahma who is equipped with Rajogun, therefore, this is also known as Rajas Purana. • Balam Bhatta has refered it as Adi Purana (first Purana) in his commentary on the Mitakshara. • Also known as Saura Purana, because it includes many essential episodes related to Surya or the Sun God. • The text is divided into Purva-Bhaga (former part), Uttara-Bhaga (later part) and a concluding part, known as Brahmottara Purana.
The Importance of Puranas in Hinduism
The Puranas are widely revered Hindu spiritual texts. They comprise descriptions of the universe, from its creation to destruction. The Puranas also include the origins of various deities, kings, idols, and sages. Some of the Puranas preach cosmology, geography, and Hindu ideology. These holy texts tell us mythological stories of gods and goddesses. You can learn about the deities like Shiva, Vishnu, Parvati, Durga, etc, from the sacred text of Purana. As per legends, the Puranas are based on five matters or facts. These are the preliminary creation of the universe, secondary creation after systematic collapse, the origin of gods and patriarchs, the regimes of the Manus, considered the first humans, and the history of the various dynasties. There are a total of 18 main Puranas, also known as Mahapuranas. Each Purana tells stories ranging from mythology to geographic narrations. Let’s go through the origin, significance & different types of Hindu Puranas.
Vedic Influence On Sun-Worship In The Puranas
The Vedas mention the word “Surya” or “Suryadev” for the Sun. Surya is the ruling deity of the Sun planet and is responsible for maintaining the working affairs. The Sun is the central cosmos body which sustains all other planets in the universe. The Surya deity is described as a divine person bedecked with shining golden ornaments, riding on a chariot pulled by seven horses. His horses are called “Ketavah” meaning the rays of the Sun. The Rig Veda, the oldest Vedic literature, mentions Surya as the giver of knowledge, dispelling darkness in one’s life. It is the living force in the whole universe. The moon and all the planets get light from the Sun and shine in the sky. In the Chandogya Upanishad, the Sun is represented as Brahman, the Absolute Truth and the Sun-God is considered the Supreme.
GLORY OF BHAGWAT PURANA
As it goes, the forces of evil, asuras (demons) have defeated the kind devtas (deities) and then ruled the universe. Truth re-emerged as Bhagwan Krishna– first made peace with the demons, got their recognition, and then creatively defeated them, bringing back hope, justice, freedom, and happiness. This Purana is also known as a ‘saptah–vachan-parayan’(a–weeklong-recital-parayan). The date of composition is probably between the eighth and the tenth century CE, but may be as early as the 6th century CE. The origin of Shrimad Bhagwad is even much older.
