The Sacred Garuda Purana: A Comprehensive Study Guide provides an in-depth exploration of one of Hinduism’s most revered texts. Traditionally attributed to the sage Vyasa, the Garuda Purana is a treasure trove of spiritual wisdom, covering a vast array of topics from cosmology, ethics, and rituals to detailed descriptions of the afterlife. This study guide aims to make the profound teachings of the Garuda Purana accessible to a wide audience, including scholars, practitioners, and general readers. Divided into clear, thematic sections, the book offers transliterations, translations, and explanations of the Mool Mantras from all 16 chapters of the Saroddhar (Uttara Khanda). Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the spiritual significance of these texts, their practical applications in daily life, and their role in guiding souls through the journey of death and rebirth. This guide also includes an overview of the Garuda Purana's structure, historical context, and key concepts such as Dharma, Karma, and Moksha. With additional sections on the religious, cultural, and daily life significance of the text, the book not only elucidates ancient wisdom but also demonstrates its relevance in the modern world.
The Puranas are not merely history books in the accepted sense of the term but they do give a mine of information about the ancient life or the time when our values were taking roots. Since they record not only history and geography, but also the essence of our jurisprudence and subjects of practical value and its relevance, it perhaps never wanes. In order to help the gen-next know and appreciate the span of our achievement, it is essential for it to have a comprehensive version of our Puranas. The language and style of narration have been kept as near to the modern parlance so as to help the reader get the crux of the text. This Skanda Purana is an important to me of the series as it contains varied descriptions of our ancient heritage. Curiously enough, the now widely popular story: the ‘Satyanarayan Katha’ owes its origin to this very Purana. It is hoped our discerning readers would accord a warm welcome to Skanda Purana as they did to the earlier Puranas of the present series. We would welcome any suggestion from our readers to make the present series more relevant and meaningful.
A timely book to understand and put into perspective the vast corpus of the Hindu religious literature which a typical Western reader otherwise finds so daunting that he/she gets discouraged and simply gives up. Besides being of enormous value to spiritual seekers, the book is ideally suited for study in a classroom environment.
This book offers a translation of the seven thousand verses of the second book of the medieval Hindu text, the Ganesa Purana, one of two Puranas dedicated to the important elephant-headed god. In this book the reader is given many narratives about Ganesas ascent to earth in order to kill demonic figures who threaten to overthrow the correct world order. In addition, these narratives contain myths about Ganesa's birth and family as well as some extended and quite humorous myths about ideal devotees of the god.The translation is preceded by a long introduction offering a geographical and historical context for the GanesaPurana. Following the translation are very extensive notes which bring our points of philological interest, but focus mainly on the literary structure of the text and the methods used to present the many myths and narratives in a coherent and fully integrated manner.
