Power of Epics - पुराना - Purana
Purana not just a popular word to depict anything ancient, historic.
It's story way to get across succinct Veda to all strata regardless of literacy levels.
People - be they highly intellectual or even not so - are eager and curious to read and listen to stories.
How do we drive home the philosophy, righteous way of living deeply enshrined in Vedas, in their very form - abstruse terms?
Epics, the Purana in their story style come handy and easily reach people's hearts. This, Purana, explains the reason that people adhere to dharmic way and dread anything not righteous.
Anything not preserved and treasured drift and evaporate into insignificance. Purana is no exception.
Let's treasure Puranas
Benefit from them
And help everyone harvest the riches of Puranas, the Epics.
Wrapping up with Kambar's
நன்மையும் செல்வமும் நாளும் நல்குமே
தின்மையும் பாவமும் சிதைந்து தேயுமே
சென்மமும் மரணமும் இன்றித் தீருமே
இம்மையே இராமவென் றிரண்டெழுத்தினால்
On this eve of Sri Rama Navami.
