List of UpaPuranas Puranas List Details

Puranas were complied by Veda Vyasa.

There are many Vyasas, Vyasa means prose,.

The present edition for Kali Yuga was compiled by Krishnadwaipayana, an Avatar of Vishnu.

He was black, therefore he is called Krishnadwaipayana, Krishna means Black

I am posting a separate blog on different Vyasa of different Kalpas.

Vyasa may be a Peetha Name, a Seat of learning.

The Purans follow the Grammar for Puranas.

They are,

1.Description of the Cosmos.

2.Dissolution of the Universe and regeneration.

3.Various Aeons.

4.Solar and Lunar Dynasty details.

5.Other Dynasties.

The Purans are classified into three.

1.Rajasika, those that describe the Creation in full and Praise Lord Brahma

Brahmanda Purana, Brahma Vaivarta,Markandeya,Bhavishya,Vamana,and Brahma Purana belong to this category.

Jainism Buddhism Created By Lord Vishnu.

There are twelve Avatars of Vishnu which is in vogue.

There is also a list of the 28 Avatars of Vishnu, about which I have blogged.

The Vishnu Purana states that the Jainism and Buddhism were a created deliberately by Lord Vishnu as a curse to ensure that the Asuras do not follow the Vedas, as the strict adherence to the Vedas by the Asuras were making them stronger and more powerful than the Devas.

The narration is like this.

Mahavir , the Founder of Jainism
Mahavira,Jainism-The last Thirthankara.
During one of the innumerable wars between the Devas ans the Asuras, the Asuras were gaining the upper hand and the Devas entreated Lord Vishnu to save them.

Lord Vishnu created Maya Mohan,One who appears to be Real but illusory, that is the Preaching would be deceptively similar to the Vedas but against the Authority of the Vedas.

Maya Mohan taught the new system to the Asuras and as they were listening attentively, he ,Lord Vishnu, kept repeating 'Arhatha, Arhata','Be Deserved for this'
