Purānas are quite a neglected subject and very few books get written on it. One only hears of Bhaagavatha Purāna, which is popular only in some parts of the country. Although Purānas means ‘old legends’ their contents are ever fresh (naveenam).

Further, one would find it extremely interesting to learn about the greatness of Tulasi, the holiness of Prayaaga, the origin of Ekaadasi, efficacy of a Champaka flower etc. An effort is made in this treatise to create interest in the subject. In times of yore, a manuscript of a purana with gold was gifted to a brahmin and this was believed to enable the man to attain the highest region.
