Message of
Mahapuranas
B
havan conducted a national conference on Veda Samvada, an
introduction to the various aspects of Vedas and their
relevance in the modern society during June 2013 which was
followed by the conference on Upanishad Sandesha, the message
in the Upanishads during June/July 2014, both conferences jointly
conducted with ISKCON, Bengaluru at the Multi-Vision Theatre in
the premises of ISKCON, Bengaluru. Bhavan intends to continue
this exposition of sacred texts of this holy country to our youth. The
theme contemplated for the next conference will be the Message of
Puranas which is being held from 23rd to 27th June 2015.
The Puranas, as they are well known, are post-Vedic texts
alongside some Jain and Buddhist religious texts, which typically
contain a complete narrative of the history of the Universe from
creation to destruction, genealogies of the kings, heroes and
demigods, and descriptions of Hindu cosmology and geography.
According to Matysa Purana, they are said to narrate five subjects,
called Pancha Lakshana ("five distinguishing marks", though some
scholars have suggested that these are shared by other traditional
religious scriptures):
1.Sarga: the creation of the universe.
2.Pratisarga: secondary creations, mostly re-creations after
dissolution.
3.Vamśa: genealogy of the gods and sages.
4.Manvañtara: the creation of the human race and the first
human beings. The epoch of the Manus' rule, 71 celestial
Maha Yugas.
5.Vamśānucaritam: the histories of the patriarchs of the lunar
and solar dynasties.
The Puranas were written to popularise the message of the Vedas.
They contain the essence of the Vedas. The aim of the Puranas is to
impress on the minds of the masses the teachings of the Vedas and
to generate in them devotion to God, through concrete examples,
myths, stories, legends, lives of saints, kings and great men,
allegories and chronicles of great historical events. The Puranas
were meant, not for the scholars, but for the ordinary people who
could not understand high philosophy and who could not study the
Vedas.
In view of this, it is felt that this conference would be useful to the
society and serve the cause, Bhavan has stood for, viz., spreading
the message of our sacred texts to the coming generations.
