-:ABOUT THE BOOK:-
Is it true that Indians lack a historical sense? This compelling work challenges that assumption by turning to one of the most ancient sources of Indian tradition—the Vayu Purana. It asserts that Bhārat possesses an unbroken historical record spanning 88,000 years, carefully preserved through sacred literature. Among the Purāṇas, the Vāyu Purāṇa stands out for its detailed treatment of creation (Sarga), dissolution (Pratisarga), royal lineages (Vamsa), cosmic time cycles (Manvantara), and dynastic chronicles (Vamshanucharita), later expanded into ten defining characteristics. It offers vivid descriptions of time reckoning, kingship, and civilizational continuity, while also celebrating the glory of Lord Śiva and Lord Viṣṇu. Praised in the Mahabharata and Harivamsha, referenced by Banabhatta in Harsha Charitra, and acknowledged by Adi Shankara in his Brahma Sutra commentary, and by countless later-day scholars, the Vāyu Purāṇa has long been regarded as an authoritative source of history. Drawing from literary, archaeological, and traditional sources, this scintillating book invites readers to rediscover the depth, antiquity, and historical consciousness of Bhārat across yugas, through one of its most revered texts.
