The Indian - Hindu System of Puranas and Gods



The Hindu scriptures include 18 Puranas apart from Vedas.

Many people feel there is an oddity in Hindu Purans as each Puran talks of different God as the ultimate authority and tells stories wherein other Gods sing praises of him as the supreme man. But is it really odd. There is no oddity if you can think of plurality. In Indian system of philosophy each god is in charge of a good or bad attribute that people see in nature. It is as though there are discussions among Gods regarding various issues and the line or reasoning proposed by a particular God wins the argument. All such incidents of a particular God are collected in a Puran. Intrepreted this way, the contradiction is less. There is more consistency in the narrations of Purans.
