Puranic Discourses and Films from the Chapter "Puranas", in Hindu Dharma : kamakoti.org: (895 words) |
 | It is true that puranic themes are enacted on the stage or potrayed on the screen and may be some people benefit a little. |
| More often than not the impact made by puranic films is unhealthly since the producers usually attempt to make them as spicy or as exciting as possible with the addition of undesirable features for, after all, the purpose of making movies is popular entertainment, not providing moral or spiritual instruction. |
| The puranic stories must be told without straying too far from the text and a healthy impression must be made on the minds of the audience. |
| Puranic Time and the Archaeological Record (5216 words) |
| If one were to take the Puranic record as objectively true, and also take into account the generally admitted imperfection and complexity of the archaeological and anthropological record, one could make the following prediction. |
| The strata of the earth, extending back hundreds of millions of years, should yield a bewildering mixture of hominid bones, some anatomically modern human and some not, as well as a similarly bewildering variety of artefacts, some displaying a high level of artistry and others not. |
| According to Puranic accounts, we are now in the twenty-eight yuga cycle of the seventh manvatara period of the present day of Brahma. |
