Book Description
Veda Vyasa Maharishi who is the 17th incarnation of Lord Vishnu, divided the one Maha Purana into 18 Puranas to help mankind during the dark age. All these 18 MahaPuranas are preaching of Suka Maharishi to the Sages who were doing Mahayagnam in the Naimisaranya region to attain the realm of Lord Vishnu. “Devotional stories from Puranas” covers glorifying stories of Godhead from three MahaPuaranas which are Srimad Bhagavatam, Shiva Puranam, and the Matsya Puranam. All these stories not only glorify God but also explains the importance of bhakti and promote devotion leading one to the path of liberation.

Book Description
Do you know the story where Brahma and Vishnu race against each other or where Shiva battles Krishna? Do you know about Maya Sita or Narada's monkey face? Or why Surya falls from the sky or why Chandra commits adultery? The Puranas of Hinduism are a universe of wisdom, embodying a fundamental quest for answers that makes them forever relevant. Now, for the first time, 100 of the greatest mythological tales from these ancient texts have been handpicked and compiled into an epic illustrated edition. Besides popular legends of devas, asuras, sages and kings, Satyarth Nayak has dug up lesser-known stories, like the one where Vishnu is beheaded or where Saraswati curses Lakshmi or where Harishchandra tricks Varuna. Nayak also recounts these 100 tales in a unique chronological format, beginning with Creation in Satya Yuga and ending with the advent of Kali Yuga. Using Puranic markers, he constructs a narrative that travels through the four yugas, offering continuous and organic action. In such a reading, it is revealed that these stories are not isolated events but linked to each other in the grand scheme of things. That every occurrence has a past and a future. A cause and effect. An interconnected cycle of karma and karma-phal. Delving into the minds of gods, demons and humans alike, Mahagatha seeks a deeper understanding of their motivations. The timelessness of their impulses speaks across the aeons to readers of today. Written in lively prose with charming illustrations, these 100 tales will entertain and enlighten, and make you connect the dots of Hindu mythology like never before.
