Description
Puranas occupy a place of prominence as classics of devotion among significant granthas dealing with the current of Indian life and thought. Pauranic literature is a perennial treasure of Indian life and philosophy. You get here many stories dealing with the high and low of human life. Moving from Karma-kand to knowledge, after delving deep in thoughts and philosophy, Indian mind let a flood of devotion pour out.
In this process of evolutionary thought, from multdeityism to an explanation of form of the attributelesss Brahma, slowly Indian mind advanced towards incarnations and devotion to god in form. Stories related to sin and piety, dharma and a-dharma, action and undesirable action have been told in eighteen Puranas, keeping certain gods and goddesses at the center.
In the present day of style, a study of the Puranas may point to discretion to man to free him from conflict and make successful attempts at creating meaningful human values. Keeping this aim in view, this book Vayu Puran is presented to the readers in a simple, readable language as a link in the chain of Pauranic literature.
