Varuna Purana is a collection of ten stories about Lord Shiva. Many of the stories are well-known, such as the destruction of the sacrifice of Daksha, the destruction of Tripura, and the legend of the demon Andhaka. But other stories are unique to this Purana, such as the story of the first recitation of the Brahma Sutras by Agni, the messenger of the gods; the story of the activities of the gods during the time of cosmic dissolution; and the story of the cosmic dance of Lord Shiva. But Varuna Purana is much more than a collection of stories, it is also a concise digest of complete knowledge of all the 40 branches of Vedic Science. At the same time it is a handbook and guide for growing experiences on the path to enlightenment. This Purana is a brilliant tour de force of its author, the Rishi Shaunaka, who lived thousands of years ago. A special feature of this ancient text is the clear explanation, by the narrator, Lord Varuna, of the metaphor of the stories in terms of the growth of higher states of consciousness-the growth of enlightenment, the inner awakening. Shiva is a metaphor for the process of transcending and experiencing pure consciousness, "samadhi," as it is called in Yoga, the state of oneness of eternal unmanifest Being. The aniconic form of Shiva, called the "Lingam," is a metaphor for the highest goal of evolution, called "Brahman" in Vedanta, and understood as the supreme, ultimate knowledge of Reality. All of the stories together, in sequence present the milestones in the growth of consciousness on the path to the total awakening in Brahman Consciousness. Since ancient times Varuna Purana has been accepted as one of the 18 Upapuranas. However, in modern times the text has been neglected, and only one copy of the manuscript is known. The text has been transcribed, edited and restored, and translated here for the first time. This book includes the Sanskrit text of Varuna Purana; an English translation; an essay on the importance of Upapurana in Vedic Literature; an analysis of the origin and authenticity of the text; a detailed exposition of the milestones of experience in the growth of higher states of consciousness; parallel passages from other Puranas for each story; and a pictorial presentation of the 108 Karanas or dance-gestures that make up the Dance of Shiva, according to Natya Shastra. All the eternal wisdom of life contained in the Puranas is encapsulated in this Varuna Purana: It is a concise digest of the essential teaching of the Vedas, the wisdom of God realization.

We are aware of the Puranas in Hindu society. As an Indian even if you have not read them, they shape your behavior. These stories permeate the air of Bharat. Whether we believe in them or not, they determine our value system. All our festivals, ceremonies, and the way we celebrate them, are narrated to us in these Puranic stories. There are thousands of stories, and even for a brilliant mind, it is impossible to remember all of them. Collectively, as a society, we remember these stories, but as individuals, we struggle to know all. The purpose of these stories was to unite society. The stories that unite people depend on the society. The type of stories that will unite people depends on the political system, ethnic diversity in society, available resources, wealth distribution among citizens, geographical features such as deserts, snowy mountains, overflowing riverbanks, plateaus with good agriculture and water, or areas surrounded by dense forests with unknown diseases, etc. After twelve hundred years of barbaric invasions and colonization, when Bharat became free on 15th August 1947 and chose to be a democratic nation with immense diversity, the question arises: how do we unite the society? Stories revolving around military heroes or successful business ventures are one way to connect with people and unite society. However, these individual stories do not provide us with the broader narrative of a civilizational nation. We cannot unite Bharat in the same way as the USA, Greece, Iran, Saudi Arabia, or China. Bharat is a civilizational nation, and on top of that, we have vast diversity, population, and poverty. Engaging 1.4 billion people of a democratic nation who speak over 400+ languages, and embrace dozens of religious and ethnic diversities in nation-building is an immense challenge. That's why, despite one's education, experience, or intelligence, without divine blessings, whether you are a nation or an individual both will suffer. Bharat has a long tradition of writing and narrating Pauranic stories, and in a democratic system, we need to harness this art to unite society. However, this time, the stories should steer clear of concepts like heaven and hell. They should also avoid focusing on the gods and goddesses of the sky. Citizens should not prioritize to an afterlife but instead strive for a meaningful, peaceful existence on the land we call Rashtra or nation. Namo Purana is a grand narrative of Bharat. Glory, struggle, and progress from Vedic times to 2023 are compressed within this book. It encapsulates everything essential about Bharat, its Vedic time, peaks, struggle, rise, and resurgence. This is not a book focused on any specific topic like spirituality, history, geography, or economy. Instead, it is a Purana that delves into every aspect of Maa Bharati's life. Readers will encounter a wide range of topics in this work, including spirituality, dharma, religion, history, geography, trade and business, economy, culture, politics, geopolitics, war and conflicts, agriculture, literature, biographies, Bhakti Yoga, Jnyana Yoga, Karma Yoga, sociology, colonization, patriotism, nationalism, constitution, law and order, and the dos and don'ts of good governance. Each is discussed briefly to inspire the citizens of Bharat to understand their motherland, its struggles, and challenges. One should neither look up to any other nation with awe nor look down on any other nation. All nations on the planet are equal, and their residents are our family members residing in different houses. Therefore, it's important to respect and care for all, while ensuring that our Rashtra, our home, is safe and peaceful for ourselves and future generations.

Puranas are almost like an encyclopedia listing the human achievements in this part of the world till the time they were edited or compiled. In every cycle of time the master editor called Vedavyas emerges to edit, vet and compile these records. Their significance is enormous even in the present, as they give a peep into the distant past of Hindus when the world was evolving and the psyche of the race was being formed. These Puranas record the arguments that make us to decide as to what is holy and what is vile; what is good and what is bad. By going through them we can compare our present day jurisprudence vis-à-vis the ancient norms. Apart from that, they are a huge store-house of information conceiving every subject under the sun. It is with the view of unearthing these gems that the present series of the puranas has been planned. The Bhavishya Purana, the ninth in the list of the Mahapurana, is a short Purana, containing about fourteen thousand couplets. The Bhavishya Purana earns a special distinction by being the only Purana that is based on the Predictions. It mostly tells us what will be from the time it was compiled in. It is believed that the present edition of the Bhavishya Purana is the abridged or condensed version of the three Puranas known as Bhavishya Purana, Bhavishyati Purana and Bhavishyottara Purana.
