Puranas are almost like an encyclopaedia listing the human achievements in this part of the world till the time they were edited or compiled.
It is with the view of unearthing these gems that the present series of the puranas has been planned..
Apart from that, they are a huge store-house of information conceiving every subject under the sun.
By going through them we can compare our present day jurisprudence vis-a-vis the ancient norms.
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.
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.
In every cycle of time the master editor called Veda Vyas emerges to edit, vet and compile these records.
