Book Description
Back of the Book

The Bhavisya Purana is one of the eighteen major Puranas as stated in the text of srimad Bhagavatam (12.7.23-24): The eighteen major Purana are the Brahma Padma, Visnua, Siva, Lingna, Garuda, Narada, Bhagavata, Agni, Skanda, Bhavisya, Brahma-Vaivarta, Markandya, Vamana, Varaha, Matsya, Kurma and Brahmanda Puranas. Later in the Srimad Bhagavatam (12.13.4-9) when the number of verses contained in each of these major puranas is listed it is said; the Bhavisya Puranas (consists of ) fourteen thousand five hundred (verses). This present edition of the Bhavisya Purana is divided into four parts Brahma Parva Madhyama Parva, Pratisarga Parva, and Uttara Parva.

It is generally understood that the Puranas deal with ancient histories not only on this planet but on planets throughout the universe. The specific appeal of this Purana, however, is that it narrates incidents that will occur in the future as well as account that happened in the distant part.

 

About the Book

The Bhavisya Purana is one of the eighteen major Puranas. The specific appeal of this Purana is that it narrates incidents that will occur in the future as well as account that happened in the distant past.

Lord Brahma said: Now I will describe that exalted personality who is worshiped by all the demigod including myself Lord Vishnu and Lord Siva.

The Vedic understanding is that the gross body of a living entity is manifested according to the condition of the subtle body or mind.

Thus the condition of one gross body indicates the previous mentality of a person and this process is carried on from one moment to the next. Why does someone have particular bodily features and what do they indicate?

This is the subtle science that is explained in this volume of the Bhavisya Purana.

 

Introduction

The Bhavisya Purana is one of the eighteen major Purana as stated in the text of Srimad Bhagavatam (12.7.23-24): The eighteen major Puranas are the Brahma, Padma, Visnu, Siva, Linga, Garuda, Narada, Bhagavata, Agni, Skanda, Bhavisya, Brahamavaivarta, Markanddeya, Vamana, Varaha, Matsya, Kurma and Brahmanda Puranas.

Later in the Srimad Bhagavatam (12.13.4-9) when the number of verses contained in each of these major Puranas is listed it is said; the Bhavisya Purana (consists of) fourteen thousand five hundred (verses). There are statement in other places however that indicate that the Bhavisya Purana contains as many as twenty six thousand verses. This present edition of the Bhavisya Purana is divided into four part Brahma Parva Madhyama Parva pratisarga Parva and Uttara Parva. The of sixty two chapter the pratisarga Parv consists of one hundred chapter and the Uttara Purva consists of two hundred eight chapter.

It is generally understood that the Puranas deal with ancient histories not only on this planet but on planets throughout the universe. The specific appeal of this Puranas however is that it narrates incidents that will occur in the future as well as accounts that happened in the distant past.

Once during a room conversation in Bombay in April 1977, srila Prabhupada was asked about these future predictions:

Tamala Krsna: He says he read a passage of the Bhavisya Maha Purna written by Vyasadeva three thousand years before Christ foretelling Jesus Christs Presence in there any other Prophecies in the Bhavisya Maha Purana or in any other scripture telling more accurately jesus Christ birthday.

Prabhupada: Everything is accurate there.

And again: In the Bhavisya Purana there is a statement about observing different ceremonies celebrating the Lord appearance (birthday) and other transcendental activities. It is said My Lord Janardana (Krsna) please let us know the date when your mother Devaki devi gave birth to you. If you kindly inform us about this then we shall observe a great celebration on this date. O killer of Kesi we are soul one hundred percent surrendered unto your lotus feet and we wish only to please you with our ceremonies.

The vedic understanding is that the gross body of a living entity is manifested according to the condition of the subtle body or mind. Thus the condition of one gross body indicates the previous mentality of a person and this process is carried on from one moment the next. Why does someone have particular bodily feature and what do any indicate? This is the subtle science that is explained in this volume of this Bhavidya Purana.

This present edition is in response to the many requests for an English edition of the Bhavisya Purana and its is the first thus filling a big gap in our library of Vedic literature.
