Reflection of vedic religion and mythology in modern thought

Dr. Husna Parvin

Purᾱṇas have a prominent place in our religious and secular literature.They are as ancient as the Vedas and as sacred as the Vedas. In Sanskrit and Bengali literature, the most common meaning of the word ‘Purᾱṇa’ is old, ancient etc. Vedic religion is now generally accepted as the predecessor of Hinduism, but they are not the same as textual evidence indicates significant differences between the two. Throughout Puranic literature there is an attempt to make religion and philosophy accessible and comprehensible to the mass consciousness. Whereas in the Vedic age religion was alive with spirituality, in the Purᾱṇas religion is bound by moral precepts. According to the religious needs of the age, the Purᾱṇas reformed the Vedic religion and transformed it into a universal human religion. Vedic religion, philosophy, creation etc. attempts of the Purᾱṇas to make the various subjects useful to the common people attract the readers of the modern society.
