Puranas

The Puranas are among the most important sacred writings of Hinduism. They came into existence after the Vedas in the period from 400 AD to 1000 AD, but are often based on older contents. Of the 400,000 puranas named in the Brahma-vaivartta Purana, such as the Devi Bhagavata, 18 are regarded as principal puranas and 18 as secondary puranas. The main Puranas, on the other hand, are subdivided into three groups according to the three Hindu chief deities Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva: Brahma-Puranas: ▪ Brahmapurana ▪ Brahmanandapurana ▪ Brahmavaivartapurana ▪ Markandeyapurana ▪ Bhavishyapurana ▪ Vamanapurana Vishnu-Puranas: ▪ Vishnupurana ▪ Bhagavatapurana ▪ Naradiyapurana ▪ Garudapurana ▪ Padmapurana ▪ Varahapurana Shiva-Puranas: ▪ Shiva- or Vayupurana ▪ Lingapurana ▪ Skandapurana ▪ Agni ▪ Matsyapurana ▪ Kurmapurana Puranas are written in Sanskrit and Tamil and most of the Indian language of conversation. There are puranas in Jainism as well. Die Puranas, gehören zu den wichtigsten heiligen Schriften des Hinduismus. Sie sind nach den Veden in der Zeit von 400 n. Chr. bis 1000 n. Chr. entstanden, greifen jedoch oft auf ältere Inhalte zurück. Von den im Brahma-vaivartta Purana genannten 400.000 Puranas, wie etwa dem Devi Bhagavata, werden 18 als Haupt-Puranas angesehen und 18 als Neben-Puranas. Die Haupt-Puranas wiederum werden unterteilt in drei Gruppen entsprechend den drei hinduistischen Hauptgottheiten Brahma, Vishnu und Shiva: Brahma-Puranas: ▪ Brahmapurana ▪ Brahmanandapurana ▪ Brahmavaivartapurana ▪ Markandeyapurana ▪ Bhavishyapurana ▪ Vamanapurana Vishnu-Puranas: ▪ Vishnupurana ▪ Bhagavatapurana ▪ Naradiyapurana ▪ Garudapurana ▪ Padmapurana ▪ Varahapurana Shiva-Puranas: ▪ Shiva- oder Vayupurana ▪ Lingapurana ▪ Skandapurana ▪ Agni ▪ Matsyapurana ▪ Kurmapurana Puranas sind in Sanskrit und Tamil und den meisten der indischen Umgangssprachen verfasst worden. Auch im Jainismus gibt es Puranas.
