Why One Must Know The 18 Puranas

By Santosh Chowdhury

The Puranas serve as essential sources for preserving the rich mythology and lore of Hinduism. These texts contain numerous stories about gods, goddesses, sages, and demons, explaining the creation of the universe, cosmic order, and the cycles of time. They provide a narrative structure to the diverse myths and legends that have shaped Hindu religious consciousness. By preserving these stories, the Puranas ensure that the teachings, customs, and rituals associated with them are passed down through generations. This makes them crucial in maintaining cultural continuity and identity within the Hindu tradition. In many ways, the Puranas function as oral history, chronicling divine interventions and historical events that are central to the worldview of Hindus.
